Because the North American market has always preferred large-size, large-space SUVs, many brands will launch some hardcore SUVs for the North American market, just as Toyota launched Toyota Sequoia in North America, there is also a Toyota 4Runner (Speedmaster) with lower positioning than Sequoia.
Recently, Toyota has updated this model to launch the 2022 model. Compared with the previous version, Toyota has made many configuration upgrades for this new model, including the addition of a new TRD Sport version, which is priced at $37,305 to $52,120 (about 237,770 to 332,200 yuan).
Despite this, the current Toyota 4Runner is still an annual redesign, and the new car has not made major changes since the mid-term redesign in 2014, but only through the upgrade of the shape and some details to create the feeling of the new model.
For example, the new TRD Sport version will have adaptive shock absorbers, leatherette seats, an open hood and a set of 20-inch wheels and a set of LED headlights as standard, but these kits will require an additional price increase, which means that the TRD Sport version will reach $40,150 (about 255,900 yuan).
Looking back at the Toyota 4Runner, the car still uses a hard-hitting SUV design, presented in a relatively tough design.
In terms of size, the car is 4831 * 1926 * 1816mm in length and width, with a wheelbase of 2789mm, positioning medium and large SUVs, which can be regarded as the sister model of "Prado", which is also because the Prado is not sold in North America, so the car has become a North American exclusive model.
From the perspective of the interior of the model, the new car still continues the very simple Toyota design, after all, this model has been a model that has been on the market for many years and is already in the product of the previous generation.
However, for North American consumers who pay more attention to practicality, the car is positioned as a hard-core SUV that is more close to the people than Sequoia, so the upgrade in configuration will also be more meaningful than the upgrade in interior style.
In terms of power, the Toyota 4Runner is still equipped with a 4.0L V6 engine, with a maximum power of 273 horsepower and a peak torque of 377 Nm, matching a 5-speed automatic transmission and a four-wheel drive system.
But whether it is power performance, economic fuel and other performance, Toyota 4Runner has always been inferior to the same level of models, because the car is already a relatively old model. However, the car can stand in the North American market naturally has its advantages, that is, the car is the king of reliability in the market segment, and this also benefits from Toyota's reputation in the global market.
From the perspective of product positioning, the main competitors of the car in the North American market are Ford Bronco and Jeep Wrangler and so on.

Although the car is a hardcore SUV exclusively for the North American market, it can be purchased through parallel imports in China, but the price of the car after entering China is higher, with the current plus version of the 2022 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off Road off-road version, the current car has arrived at a price of 658,000 yuan.
According to the data, toyota 4Runner has been updated for 5 generations since its launch, and the current model (the 5th generation) was born in 2009 and underwent a medium-term major overhaul in 2014, which means that the car has been on the market for 13 years and has belonged to an "old car".
It is worth noting that the third generation of 4Runner has appeared in the domestic market, that is, ZTE flagship SUV, which is the model built on the basis of the Toyota 4Runner platform that year.
