Brand New Athletic Aesthetic

Kicking things off for the 4Runner’s brand new design for 2025, is an eye-catching broad, strong stance that’s immediately recognizable as pure Toyota. Look a little closer, though, and you’ll see that the 4Runner shakes things up with a fresh element of dynamism showcased in its every muscular line. This new silhouette is outstandingly rugged without being intimidating, granting you the freedom to take it out on the town or into the thick of Ontario’s wilderness without looking out of place in either location. Talk about being ready for anything!

Toyota’s Smartest 4Runner Yet

We mentioned technology, and the 2025 4Runner has got it in spades, boasting five times the processing power of its predecessor's infotainment system. Not a drop goes to waste, either, as evidenced by its 8-inch Toyota Multimedia screen (14 inches on the Hybrid model). That’s controllable by touch or voice. This central hub is the beating heart of your cabin that keeps you connected to navigation, news, entertainment, and your personal world because of its seamless compatibility with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. 

Future owners can also use a range of Connected Services like Remote Connect, Safety Connect, and Drive Connect with its Cloud Navigation, Intelligent Assistant, and Destination Assist. 

This isn’t even an exhaustive list of this amazing display’s true capabilities–you’ll have to swing by the dealership yourself or book a test drive to find that out!

Pulse-Pounding Performance

Perhaps the most exciting part of the 2025 4Runner is the performance! The regular model impresses by kicking out 278 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque, but the hybrid edition truly astounds with a muscular 326 horsepower and 465 pound-feet. Even with a new hybrid powertrain available, the 2025 4Runner can still tow more than 2,500 kg when the redesigned SUV is properly equipped.
