2024 Toyota 4Runner Redesign: Everything You Need to Know

2210 4

Last year, Toyota finally started renewing its body on frame lineup. The Tundra was completely redesigned, as well as Sequoia and Land Cruiser. So, everyone is now waiting for the next generation of Toyota’s famous off-roader, the 4Runner. The current generation has been around for way too long and definitely needs updates. We expect that the new generation could arrive already in the next year, as the 2024 Toyota 4Runner. The officials are still quiet.

In any case, we have huge expectations from the new model. Although the current generation feels outdated in many ways, it still offers a well-balanced chassis and exceptional reliability. The new model will have to bring improvements regarding the powertrain, while we also expect to see new aesthetics and more refinement. Of course, the new cabin is also expected.

The all-new 2024 Toyota 4Runner should arrive sometime in the second half of 2023.

The current generation has been around for almost 14 years, so there is no doubt that the number of changes will be significant. First of all, count on the new platform. Just like the aforementioned models, the new 4Runner will also ride on the new TNGA-F architecture, and we count on various improvements. One of them will be weight reduction, while we also expect to see a lower center of gravity, which would have a highly positive impact on on-road manners, which is currently the 4Runner’s weak point.

However, off-road performance will remain the key thing about this SUV. The new generation is about to bring lots of off-road features again, starting from off-road suspension. Of course, we would see all kinds of off-road goodies, such as locking differentials, crawl control, skid plates and many more.

Exterior

When it comes to the exterior design, we expect to see a completely new appearance. The new styling should bring significant changes, which is no wonder if we consider that the outgoing model hasn’t changed much since the initial launch. The new styling should be based on the brand’s latest design language and we have no doubt that some inspiration will be taken from the new Tundra and Sequoia models.

On the other hand, we don’t expect to see bigger changes regarding the size. The wheelbase will probably remain the same, just like the overall length. Simply, with a relatively short wheelbase for the class and short overhangs, the new 4Runner will retain super-strong off-road potential, with great maneuverability, great approach and departure angles etc.

Interior

Not many things changed during this production cycle, so it’s no wonder that the current cabin is considered outdated. Simply, the dashboard looks old, and the materials aren’t particularly great either. Of course, this will change with the new model, when we expect to see notable improvements. More attractive aesthetics and nicer materials are pretty much a certain thing, just like the new tech features.

As we’ve just mentioned, the new model probably won’t feature bigger changes in terms of size. Therefore, we expect that the new generation will feature a similar amount of passenger space. Base models will probably feature two rows, while the third row of seats would be optional and it wouldn’t be particularly generous with space. On the other hand, we expect solid cargo capacity.

2024 Toyota 4Runner Engines

This is where we expect to see big changes. The outgoing model features a good-old 4.0-liter V6, which may be super-reliable but isn’t very competitive when it comes to power and fuel economy. Therefore, it’s no wonder that most reports suggest the new 2.4-liter turbo-four with around 275 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque. Some sources also suggest that the higher trim levels could come with the new 3.4-liter turbo V6, with a max output of around 350 horsepower. Of course, we would also see a new transmission, probably an 8- or 10-speed unit.

Also, we won’t exclude the possibility to see a hybrid powertrain. Some rumors speculate about a system that’s based on a turbo-four engine, which would feature a combined output of more than 350 horsepower. At this point, the officials are still quiet, so take this with reserve.

2024 Toyota 4Runner Release Date and Price

We believe that the next-generation 2024 Toyota 4Runner could arrive already in the second half of the next year, with a starting price that goes between 40.000 and 45.000 dollars. Of course, four-door versions of Bronco and Wrangler will remain key competitors.

    The new 4runner model should have a power rear hatch, climate control like volvos and others do, turn signals that blink several times with one push, ten speed tranny, 30mpg, smaller turbo charged motor as appears planned, rain sensing wipers, full time AWD, and lockable 4 wheel drive high and low, better emergency handling, heavy duty front roll bar to prevent so much sway, added to everything they already have on it. keep the rear hatch window as is. Improve rear wiper blade size, should sweep the entire window and improve the washer, should have headlight washers also.

  2. I was hoping that the next 4runner wouldn’t just follow trends. For the headunit, I would want it integrated into the dash and not super sized. The exterior needs a rethink. No fake vents that simply collect dirt, mud, snow and bugs. Something smooth overall like a Range Rover but practical with a bumper that I can stand on and roof rack that can support my weight. An 8 speed automatic makes sense for 95% of buyers, while 5%still want a 6 speed manual. Overall weight reduction as vehicle just keep getting heavier. Limit it to around 2 tons or 4, 400 pounds. I would love 3.0 inline 6 cylinder which can achieve 250hp and 220lb.ft and 30mpg highway these days. Followed by a hybrid version which could be 20% more economical. Size wise, I would Limit the length to 186 inches, the width to 72 inches, height to 66 inches, wheelbase of 112 inches and the same 9 inches of ground clearance. Lastly, I want my full size spare tire inside the vehicle.
