New TRD Sport trim level.
Pros Impressive off-road capability Wide variety of configurations to suit many buyers Versatile cargo area, especially with the optional slide-out floor
Cons Choppy ride quality compared with more modern crossover SUVs V6 engine is not particularly fuel-efficient Tall step-in height makes for awkward entry and exit
For 2022, the 4Runner family welcomes a new TRD Sport model, which for the longest time has only been offered on its pickup counterpart, the Toyota Tacoma. The 4Runner TRD Sport isn't as sporty as its 20-inch wheels, hood scoop, and Sport badges suggest, but unlike most other models except for the more luxurious Limited, it features adaptive dampers that are designed to improve body control. Inside, the TRD Sport features faux-leather upholstery instead of cloth. All 2022 4Runners now illuminate the road with LED high-beams.
Pros Actually able to excel off-road, packed with standard driver-assistance tech, inside boasts generous passenger and cargo space.
Cons Fuel economy isn't great, interior materials are unimpressive, not nearly as refined as newer mid-size SUVs.
The 2022 Toyota 4Runner's #19 ranking is based on its score within the Midsize SUVs category. Currently the Toyota 4Runner has a score of 7.1 out of 10, which is based on our evaluation of 67 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.
Pros Great off-road ability
Good cargo capacity Two rows of spacious, comfortable seats Intuitive infotainment features
Cons Slow acceleration Rough ride Antiquated, low-rent interior Poor gas mileage
The 2021 BMW X4 is a crossover worth coveting, though our money would be on the more practical, cheaper, and really not much different X3.
Pros Willing turbocharged engines Balanced handling Excellent interior tech Lots of available safety gear M versions especially fun
Cons Mega price tag So-so cargo space So-so rear-seat human space Style not for everyone
Newly standard equipment includes SiriusXM satellite radio, Android Auto compatibility, and several driver-assistance features. There are also some changes to the various option packages.The M40i’s turbocharged inline-six is impressive, but the 30i’s turbo four-cylinder provides plenty of power.
Pros Entertaining to drive, two powerful engine choices, design-forward exterior.
Cons Costs more than the X3, less cargo space than X3, tighter on rear-seat room than X3.
No significant changes for 2021.
Pros Both available engines are smooth, powerful and fuel-efficient Easy personalization thanks to abundant standard and optional features Impressive handling for an SUV
Cons Sloping roofline compromises rear headroom and cargo space
