Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Even with seating for up to seven passengers, the CX-9 still offers plenty of that Mazda magic.

Pros
A rare fun-to-drive SUV,
near-luxury cabin trimmings,
top-quality fit-and-finish
Cons
Limited cargo space with rearmost seat in use,
tight quarters for third-row passengers.

The 2021 Mazda CX-9 crossover SUV rewards drivers with good road manners, but takes a penalty in third-row space.

Pros
Very attractive
Well-done interior
Good safety gear
Engaging responsiveness

Cons
Distracting infotainment controller
Cramped third-row and cargo space
Limited lineup

By: 
thecarconnection.com

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.

By: 
caranddriver.com

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
