QUESTIONS, COFFEE & CARS #81 // HOW WILL THE NEW TOYOTA 4RUNNER DRIVE?

EV Channels Review

In this installment of 'Questions, Coffee & Cars,' the Motormouth hosts address a variety of viewer inquiries, with a significant focus on the upcoming Toyota 4Runner. They strongly advise potential buyers to test drive the Tacoma with the i-Force Max hybrid powertrain to gauge the expected driving dynamics and power delivery of the new 4Runner, citing shared platforms and powertrains. The hosts anticipate the 4Runner will offer a softer suspension than the Tacoma due to its SUV nature. Regarding resale value, they are optimistic that the new 4Runner, particularly the hybrid variant, will maintain strong residual values, attributing this to its body-on-frame construction, a characteristic historically associated with excellent long-term durability and desirability. Other topics covered include the difference between moonroofs and sunroofs, the significance of Honda's EV investment in Ontario, a comparison between the Kia Niro and Sportage hybrids, and a strong recommendation for leasing EVs to mitigate risks associated with rapid technological advancements and potential depreciation.
