What's the story

Japanese automaker Toyota has revealed the TRD Sport variant of its 4Runner SUV. It is unlikely to arrive in India. As for the highlights, the off-road-biased model sports cosmetic updates both inside and out, and comes with an improved suspension setup as well as new features. It draws power from a 4.0-liter, V6 engine. Here are more details.

Exteriors

The car sports automatic high-beam LED headlamps

The Toyota 4Runner TRD Sport has a muscular bonnet with a TRD vent, a blacked-out grille with accents, bumpers with more detailing, and automatic high-beam LED headlights. On the sides, it is flanked by roof rails with a gloss black finish, ORVMs, and 20-inch aluminium wheels with dark grey accents. Wrap-around taillights are available on the rear end of the vehicle.

Interiors

The SUV has heated seats and an 8.0-inch touchscreen console

The Toyota 4Runner TRD Sport has a spacious cabin, featuring heated seats wrapped in SofTex faux leather with gray stitching, TRD Sport-branded floor mats, a TRD shifter, and a multifunctional steering wheel. It houses an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment console with support for Apple CarPlay, Amazon Alexa, and Android Auto. Multiple airbags, high-speed adaptive cruise control, and a pre-collision warning system ensure the passengers' safety.

Performance

It is fueled by a 270hp, 4.0-liter engine

The Toyota 4Runner TRD Sport draws power from a 4.0-liter, V6 engine that generates a maximum power of 270hp and a peak torque of 377Nm. The mill is linked to a 5-speed AMT gearbox for handling transmission duties. A Cross-Linked Relative Absorber System improves on-road driving, while a 2-speed transfer case and limited-slip differential ensure better off-road performance.
