The wait is finally over. Toyota has officially taken the wraps off the 2026 4Runner, and it’s nothing short of revolutionary. Built on Toyota's new TNGA-F platform — shared with the Land Cruiser and Tacoma — the sixth-generation 4Runner is more capable, powerful, and premium than ever before. Whether you're chasing trails or commuting in style, this SUV is engineered to impress.

🔥 A Complete Redesign From the Ground Up

The new 4Runner embraces a modern, rugged look while retaining its iconic off-road DNA. With sharper lines, bold fender flares, a boxy silhouette, and a commanding stance, it immediately sets itself apart from its predecessor.

In front, the muscular grille, LED DRLs, and aggressive bumper give the SUV a tough yet refined face. In the rear, the new tailgate design with connected tail lights adds to its premium appeal.

Turbocharged Power Meets Hybrid Innovation

Toyota has finally replaced the aging V6 engine. The 2026 4Runner now offers two next-gen powertrains:

Standard: 2.4L Turbocharged i-FORCE engine

278 hp | 430 Nm torque

8-speed automatic transmission

Available: i-FORCE MAX Hybrid

326 hp | 630 Nm torque

Electric motor + turbo for instant torque and better fuel economy

The result? More power, better efficiency, and improved drivability across terrains — whether you're city cruising or deep in the wild.

A Cabin That Blends Utility and Luxury

Step inside, and you’ll see why the 2026 4Runner isn’t just an off-roader — it’s a refined family SUV too. Toyota has completely overhauled the interior to feel upscale, tech-rich, and spacious.

14-inch touchscreen display (top trims)

Digital instrument cluster

Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto

Available 12-speaker JBL sound system

Optional third-row seating for up to 7 passengers
