The 2025 Toyota 4Runner gets a big upgrade with a new engine, suspension, and interior

The 2025 Toyota 4Runner is a new generation of the three-row SUV, running on a new chassis with a new engine, plus a hybrid variant.

The new 4Runner uses a turbocharged four -cylinder engine as an upgrade over the previous fuel-thirsty and sluggish V6 .

The exterior of the sixth -generation 4Runner looks like a mid-cycle refresh rather than a whole new design.

The 4Runner carries a 1990s vibe with plenty of angles and sticks with oversize knobs.

The standard 2.4-liter turbo engine delivers 278 hp with 317 pound-feet of torque.

The new 4Runner is available with two -wheel drive, part-time four -wheel-drive, or full-time.

The JBL sound system has a 14 -speaker system with an externally coupled subwoofer - but more speakers doesn't mean a more better sound.

The new 2025 Toyota 4Runner has all the right boxes ticked: The engine upgrade is on point and brings the 4Runner up to expectations.

The ride and handling is now up to par for the 2020s , and the off-road ability is a definite upgrade across the trim levels.

The new 4Runner may be Toyota 's best off-roader yet.
