2014 4Runner

It looks like the front fascia would be changing too (assuming that picture is legit) to a more sporty look.

Looks like LED's for at least the turn signal component of those. I'm liking the darker look. Will probably do very nicely on my black LE.

What is everyone's take on the headlight? It looks like it may be a HID projector??? At least on the outboard side of the light. Maybe low-beam only?

Edit: Sorry for the large pics. Did notice in the reflection that the photos were taken in a subdivision. Looks like Cali-architecture. Anyone pull the GPS data from the pic yet?

My guess is that it is only a low beam Hallogen projector. And well the tails. Thanks but I like mine better.

Now what scares me is that small piece of the front fascia that we can see. To me that means the 4Runner is going with more of a cross over feel trying to make the look more pleasing to the eye.
 
Looking just at that rear angle pic, I'm not a fan of the new tails. Might change my mind when I actually see it.

The front looks to be using some of the styling cues from the F-Sport Lexus'. This might be a huge plus depending on when Toyota releases a wider shot of the front.
 
A little hard to tell from that one picture, but the front really looks a lot like the new Rav4 front. Maybe with a little Tacoma mixed in??

Click to expand...

The new taillights looks more like LED brake/parking and incandescent turn signal on top (top bulb looks orange to me)?

As far as the headlights, I'm going to pessimistic and say that it's just halogen projectors, which seems to be the trend for Toyota....maaaaybe HID for the LE only?

Overall, I can't really say how I feel about the changes yet without some full body shots, but I already foresee an aftermarket front bumper nightmare for the fabricator...look at those angles and mini "vent" thing directly under the headlight :(

BTW, is that a diesel motor I see behind that grill? :bolt:
 
I may be in the minority here, but I'm liking those headlights! I agree they are probably halogen projectors - but that's an easy upgrade - much easier than a complete retrofit.

very anxious to see the entire front end. but this pretty much what I said they would do :wink2:
 
More on the 27th.....

2013 Stagecoach Country Music Festival Sets the Stage for 2014 Toyota 4Runner Reveal

- First-ever Toyota Global Automotive Reveal at a Major Music Festival
- Exclusive Musical Performance by Multi-Platinum Country Music Star Dierks Bentley
- 'World of Wonders' Circus-themed Fan Experience, Ride & Drive and Campground Activities

TORRANCE, Calif., April 18, 2013 - - Toyota will stage the world debut of the redesigned 2014 4Runner mid-size SUV on Saturday, April 27 at 1:15 p.m. PDT at the 2013 Stagecoach Music Festival in Indio, Calif., near Palm Springs. The event marks the automaker's first-ever public reveal at a major music festival.

The Toyota 4Runner, now in its fifth generation, has been in the Toyota SUV lineup for nearly three decades and continues to be one of the few fully capable SUVs available in its segment. The 4Runner combines rugged body-on-frame construction with suspension technology that yields ride comfort more often associated with car-based platforms. 4Runner is available in a variety of configurations and in three models: a well-equipped SR5, top-of-the-line Limited, plus a Trail grade for amazing off-road capability.
 
I think everyone is mistaking the projector and led tails for the Rav4. The 4runner does have a slight change in the headlight, but not projectors. It appears to be "shorter" from top to bottom. This is what I believe to be the more "aggressive" front fascia. The front bumper is slightly taller to accomodate the "shorter" headlight. Toyota most likely did not change the hood and fender to accomodate this. There may be another difference in the center of the bumper, which we can not see from these photos.

This article is referring to both the Rav4 AND the 4Runner.

But...I've been wrong before.


NEVERMIND...it looks like I AM wrong.
