The new 4Runner is built on the same body-on-frame platform as the Tacoma, and the two share the same powertrains: a standard 278-hp 2.4-liter turbo four, which can be upgraded to a 326-hp hybrid version. All versions get an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Despite the hybrid's extra power and 465 pound-feet of torque, we expect its additional mass to contribute to slower acceleration than the standard powertrain.

The new model features some iconic 4Runner design elements, including rear quarter windows that extend up into the roof and a roll-down window in the rear liftgate.

Rear-wheel drive remains standard on most trims, but part-time and full-time four-wheel-drive systems are either available or included, depending on the model. All hybrids are four-wheel drive.

The new 4Runner wears its Tacoma-inspired styling well. Most versions get a conventional Toyota emblem in their grilles, but the TRD Pro and Trailhunter feature bold TOYOTA lettering across their faces.

EPA combined fuel economy is up from the previous version's 17 mpg to 21 mpg for nonhybrid four-wheel-drive models, 22 mpg for rear-drivers, and 23 mpg for hybrid models.

Street-oriented Limited and Platinum models get 20-inch wheels, plus adaptive dampers and additional drive modes. Off road-oriented models (TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro, and Trailhunter) feature, among other things, 18-inch wheels with 33-inch all-terrain tires, upgraded suspension packages, and either a standard or optional electronically disconnecting front anti-roll bar, depending on the model.

Starting prices range from $42,220 to $68,350, with the top hybrid-only trims (Platinum, TRD Pro, and Trailhunter) costing more than a base Lexus GX550.
