Toyota 4Runner

Price $37,990
Fuel consumption 9.4 – 12.7 L/100km
The Car Guide rating 82%(view ratings)
A true purebred SUV, the Toyota 4Runner is back, practically unchanged, for 2013. There’s still only one engine, a 4.0L V6 featuring 270 horsepower and 278 lbs.-ft. of torque. The 5-speed automatic is the only transmission offered, combined, of course, with 4WD to help the 4Runner and its drivers – if they’re up for it – venture off the beaten track.
