The SUV has been evolving continuously ever since it was launched and the 2014 model is no exception. However, the looks of the latest iteration might polarize opinions. The front fascia gets more aggressive with narrow headlights and front grill, a gaping lower air dam and a vertical air intake below the headlamps.

A prominent silver scuff plate covers the chin of the high riding SUV. The profile is similar to the outgoing model while the rear gets new silver accented bumper and clear lens lamps. The rear profile can be traced back to its elder siblings Prado and Land Cruiser.

Just like the model it replaces, the SUV is available in three trim levels - SR5, Limited and Trail. The 4Runner can be specified in 4x2 or 4x4 configurations.
