We're in San Diego testing the all-new 2025 Toyota 4Runner, and we want to hear your burning questions. Learn about the new engine options, fuel economy improvements, and what else is new in this long-awaited refresh.
We're in San Diego to test drive the all-new Toyota 4Runner both on and off-road. We'll be answering your questions once the embargo lifts on January 28th. Tell us everything you want to know about the first new 4Runner in 15 years. The last time Toyota introduced a new 4Runner , Barack Obama was president – his first term, to be exact. Fast forward over 15 years, and Toyota has finally given its rugged SUV a full redesign, and we're going to experience it firsthand.
To see how it performs in the real world, Toyota invited us to test it all over sunny San Diego, California, during their press drive event. As we explore everything this long-awaited refresh offers, we want to hear from you.Have burning questions about the 2025 Toyota 4Runner? Leave them in the comments, and we'll provide answers once the embargo lifts on January 28th. Let's dive into what's new with this anticipated refresh. A Long Time Coming This isn't the first time we've seen the new 4Runner. Toyota actually unveiled it back in April of last year at a unique beach party. At the time, though, we could only check out the exterior and poke around the interior. Toyota shared a few details during the event and has gradually released more information since then. First and foremost, there's no V6 this time around, unfortunately. Instead, the base engine is a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed automatic gearbox sends power to the wheels. Speaking of wheels, the 4Runner is available in either rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive configurations. As expected, some trims come standard with 4WD, while for others, it's a $2,000 add-on. RWD 4Runners now deliver up to 20 mpg in the city, 26 on the highway, and 22 combined—a huge leap forward compared to the previous generation's underwhelming 16 mpg city, 19 highway, and 17 combined, regardless of drivetrain. Even better, the new 4WD model sacrifices just a single mpg compared to the RWD version, making it a far more efficient option than its predecessor.In addition to those bits of good news, Toyota is also offering a hybrid four-cylinder that makes 326 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque. Four-wheel drive comes standard with all hybrid 4Runners. In addition, they manage to return 23 mpg in the city, 24 on the highway, and 23 combined. Basically, it offers more power than the old 4Runner and more fuel economy at the same time. Pricing for the new 4Runner starts at $40,770 before adding a $1,450 destination fee (bringing the total to $42,220). At the top end, the flagship TRD Pro and Trailhunter trims climb to $66,900 before destination charges. Toyota hasn't told us what trims of the 4Runner we'll get to drive, but feel free to ask about any of them. Drop your questions, and we'll track down the answers and report back in the coming week
