The presentation of the new Toyota 4 Runner SUV took place this spring in the California town of Palm Springs. The novelty has significantly changed compared to its predecessors, and not only externally. In addition to design, Japanese developers took care of the interior. Now the Toyota car (the new crossover of the 2014 model line) has become more attractive, powerful and comfortable. In this article, we will talk about all the features of the new, fifth generation of the legendary Japanese crossover.
Design
As you know, the “4 Runner” model was originally characterized by its “severe” appearance. But now the manufacturer decided to make the new product even more formidable and aggressive, adding new front and rear optics to it, a new radiator grill, an air intake, as well as an updated bumper design. In general, a restyled SUV has become more brutal than the 2013 Toyota Runner crossovers. But at the same time, the novelty does not cause disgust among buyers, which means that the Japanese did not lose with the design.
What's inside?
"4 Runner Toyota" - crossovers that will have a completely new interior. So stated the manufacturer. This is really true, because now the car has better materials, a new instrument panel, which flaunts an information liquid crystal display, as well as a new torpedo design. It is also worth noting that inside the novelty has become more spacious than its predecessors, which proves the possibility of a comfortable placement of 7 people inside it.
