5 Reasons Why the 2025 Toyota 4Runner Deserves Your Attention

The 2025 Toyota 4Runner marks a pivotal moment in the model's 40-year legacy, introducing the first complete redesign in over a decade. This sixth-generation mid-size SUV brings unprecedented changes, including the first-ever hybrid powertrain option and a premium Platinum grade, all while maintaining its legendary off-road capabilities that Canadian drivers have trusted for decades.

Toyota has reimagined the 4Runner from the ground up, building it on the robust TNGA-F global truck platform shared with the Tundra and Tacoma. This fundamental change delivers enhanced structural rigidity and improved on-road comfort without compromising the 4Runner's renowned off-road prowess. The result is a more refined driving experience that caters to both daily commuters and weekend adventurers.

1- A New Era of Power and Efficiency

The 2025 4Runner introduces two compelling powertrain options that transform its performance capabilities. The standard i-FORCE turbocharged 2.4-litre engine generates 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque, delivering responsive acceleration and confident towing ability. For those seeking maximum performance and efficiency, the first-ever 4Runner hybrid combines this turbocharged engine with an electric motor to produce an impressive 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque, making it the most powerful 4Runner ever created.

2- Premium Interior Experience

Inside the cabin, Toyota has created an environment that perfectly balances functionality with modern luxury. The redesigned interior features available heated and ventilated front seats, a 14-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, and an available 14-speaker JBL audio system. The flexible interior configuration offers both five- and seven-passenger seating options, while the signature power rear window remains a distinctive 4Runner feature that enhances versatility.

3- Advanced Technology Integration

The 2025 4Runner showcases Toyota's latest technological innovations, centered around the new Toyota Multimedia system. This intuitive interface responds to touch and voice commands just like a smartphone, simplifying everything from navigation to climate control. Every model includes Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, featuring enhanced driver assistance capabilities that provide peace of mind on both city streets and backwood trails.

4- Expanded Model Range

The 2025 lineup introduces two groundbreaking models that expand the 4Runner's appeal. The first-ever Platinum grade delivers premium features like semi-aniline leather seating, 20-inch black alloy wheels, and an adaptive variable suspension system. For overland enthusiasts, the new Trailhunter model comes factory-equipped with specialized off-road components, including Old Man Emu shock absorbers, a high-mount air intake, and an onboard air compressor.

5- Canadian-Ready Capability

The 2025 4Runner is specifically engineered to handle Canadian conditions, offering a choice of part-time or full-time four-wheel drive systems depending on the grade. With available features like multi-terrain select, crawl control, and upgraded underbody protection, this SUV is ready to tackle everything from snow-covered highways to rugged backcountry trails.
