The Car Guide rating 4.0/5 80% Detailed ratings
Price $36,935 Payments
Fuel consumption 9.2 – 12.6 L/100km
This Toyota SUV is as broad and burly as ever. With three trim levels available (SR5, Upgrade Package, Trail and Limited), the 4Runner’s only engine is a 4.0L V6 that generates 270 hp and 278 lbs.-ft. of torque. There’s also just one transmission, a 5-speed automatic. All this is combined with a 4WD system that allows the 4Runner to run off the beaten track with confidence. It is one of the few traditional 4X4 on the market.
