In this riveting review by The Fast Lane Car, they dive into the new Toyota 4Runner, a beast they've tamed for over a month. The team delves into the top likes and dislikes of this off-road marvel, starting with the controversial switch from a V6 to a 4-cylinder turbo engine. Despite initial skepticism, they find the turbo engine to be a gem, delivering impressive performance and acceleration, even at high altitudes. While concerns over reliability linger, the team stands by the turbo engine's prowess, making a bold claim that it outshines the old V6.
Moving on to the off-road capabilities, the 4Runner shines with advanced features like crawl control and a rear locker, making it a force to be reckoned with in challenging terrains. The 8-speed automatic transmission earns high praise for its seamless performance, both on and off the beaten path. On the inside, the 4Runner offers a luxurious experience with a plethora of high-tech features, from heated seats to adaptive cruise control, enhancing the overall driving experience. However, the team notes a slight disappointment in the fuel economy, falling short of their expectations despite the turbo engine's efficiency.
Despite its impressive performance and versatility, the 4Runner does have its drawbacks. The interior quality, while packed with tech, falls short in terms of materials and overall luxury feel, leaving a bit to be desired at its price point. Ride quality is another point of contention, with the 4Runner feeling a tad choppy, especially over rough terrains. Back seat room, although equipped with useful features like vents and USB ports, may leave taller passengers feeling a bit cramped. As the price climbs with added options, reaching a hefty $58,000 for the premium trim, the team acknowledges the 4Runner's excellence but questions if it's worth the steep investment.
