car_truckA muted graphite shimmer ripples across the 01L7 Underground paint as light plays along the squared shoulders and taut bodywork, while the soft thud of the power rear window and the confident click of the electronic transfer case speak to purpose-built engineering. Grip the leather steering wheel and you’ll notice the precise, weighty feel that invites a confident drive—steady, composed, ready for terrain that changes by the mile. This is an SUV designed to sound solid, feel robust, and look distinctly modern without losing its trail-bred edge: the 2025 Toyota 4Runner.
Beneath the hood, a turbocharged 2.4L DOHC I-4 generates an eager 278 horsepower, paired with an efficient 8-speed automatic that balances smooth commuting with decisive response when conditions call for it.
Driver-selectable Multi-Mode part-time 4WD with electronic transfer case and A-TRAC traction control underscores its off-pavement credibility, while an independent front suspension and a robust rear setup with coil springs and gas-pressurized shocks deliver stability over washboard gravel or city streets. Hill Start Assist Control, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, and Brake Assist complement the poised chassis for controlled stops and confident restarts.
The Underground exterior is purposefully detailed: LED low-beam headlights with Automatic High Beam, LED fog lights, and a rear camera with washer enhance visibility in imperfect weather. Body-coloured fender flares and bumpers are matched with black window trim and chrome door handles for a refined, monotone presentation. Two underbody skid plates add reassurance when the route grows rocky, while 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in P245/70R17 all-season tires keep the stance surefooted.
Roof rails and running boards contribute everyday practicality, and the rear lip spoiler provides a subtle touch of aerodynamic finesse.
Inside, the cabin favors function with thoughtful craftsmanship. Heated bucket front seats, durable cloth upholstery, and metal-look accents create a resilient, modern environment. The second-row split bench (40/20/40) and fold-into-floor third row (50/50) flex to accommodate cargo or passengers as plans evolve; tie-downs and a carpeted cargo floor make quick work of weekend gear. A power rear window, multiple 12V outlets, a 120V AC outlet, and five USB ports support life on the move. The 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen integrates wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Toyota Assistant voice control, real-time traffic and weather, and an 8-speaker audio system, while an intuitive 7-inch driver display keeps critical information clear.
Advanced confidence comes standard. The Star Safety System™ forms the foundation, complemented by Toyota Safety Sense™ technologies including Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert, Lane Tracing Assist, Road Sign Assist, and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. Blind Spot Monitor and a comprehensive eight-airbag system, including driver and passenger knee airbags, further expand protection. SafetyConnect® (Connected Services by Toyota) and Service Connect add peace of mind with emergency assistance and maintenance insights.
With only 3 kilometers on the odometer, this new 4Runner arrives ready for the first scratch of adventure on a topo map and equally prepared for the week’s routine. In Underground, it looks composed and capable—engineered to perform, designed to endure, and equipped to keep you connected wherever the road, or lack thereof, leads.
