car_truckWhere many midsize SUVs have softened into tall wagons, the 2025 Toyota 4Runner distinguishes itself with authentic, body-on-frame grit and trail-bred hardware. It pairs everyday civility with the kind of confidence that makes gravel switchbacks, rutted fire roads, and wintery commutes feel equally routine. Draped in eye-catching 08X0 Heritage Blue with body-coloured fender flares and trim, this four-wheel-drive 4Runner projects purpose without shouting—subtle, capable, and unmistakably Toyota.
Under the hood, a longitudinally mounted, intercooled turbo 2.4‑litre I‑4 delivers 278 horsepower to an 8‑speed automatic with overdrive and lock-up, aided by dedicated coolers for both engine and transmission. The Multi‑Mode part‑time 4WD system and an electronic transfer case work with A‑TRAC to apportion traction precisely when surfaces turn loose, while Hill Start Assist Control smooths steep getaways.
Double‑wishbone front suspension, a coil‑spring solid rear axle, gas‑pressurized shocks, and anti‑roll bars at both ends strike a thoughtful balance between composure and articulation. Four‑wheel disc brakes with four‑channel ABS and Brake Assist anchor the chassis with reassuring bite, and speed‑sensitive electric power steering keeps responses natural on pavement yet light enough for tight trail maneuvering.
The 4Runner’s upright stance is more than a style statement. Projector headlights with LED low beams, LED front fog lights, and a high‑mounted stop lamp illuminate and signal clearly, while underbody skid plates add peace of mind when the road disappears. Practical touches abound: running boards ease entry, roof rails stand ready for weekend gear, and the power rear glass—the 4Runner signature—adds flexible cargo access and ventilation.
Inside, three-row versatility answers school runs and road trips with equal poise.
The second row’s 40/20/40 split and the 50/50 fold‑flat third row create a wide range of passenger and cargo combinations. Heated front buckets, a leather steering wheel, metal‑look accents, and a full carpeted cabin elevate the experience without losing the 4Runner’s durable character. Storage is abundant, from a locking glove box and covered center console to door bins and seatback pockets—plus an impressive count of beverage holders for the whole crew.
Technology is modern and intuitive. An 8‑inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen brings wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Toyota Assistant voice control, Bluetooth streaming, real‑time traffic and weather, and Active Noise Control. Powering devices is easy with five USB ports, multiple 12‑volt outlets, and a 120‑volt AC outlet for campsite or jobsite versatility.
The instrument cluster’s 7‑inch display serves clear trip, navigation, and vehicle data, and over‑the‑air updates help keep systems current. Smart Key with push-button start and remote start enhances everyday convenience.
Safety is comprehensive and thoughtfully integrated. Toyota Safety Sense™ features Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Tracing Assist, the Pre‑Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, and Road Sign Assist. Blind Spot Monitor, a rear camera with washer, eight airbags including driver and passenger knee protection, an immobilizer, and tire‑specific pressure monitoring further bolster confidence. The Star Safety System™ and SafetyConnect® add layers of electronic stability and emergency support when you need them most.
Riding on 17‑inch aluminum wheels with all‑season tires and showing just 3 kilometres on the odometer, this new 2025 4Runner combines authentic SUV engineering with modern connectivity and safety.
It’s a rare blend: resolute capability, everyday usability, and a design that wears adventure—and 08X0 Heritage Blue—beautifully.
