Small overlap front

The small overlap front evaluation consists of a driver-side and a passenger-side component. This vehicle has an incomplete rating because it has been tested only on one side.

Driver-side

Rating applies to 2014-24 models

Tested vehicle: 2014 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4-door 4wd

The Toyota 4Runner was redesigned for the 2010 model year. Beginning with 2014 models, the side curtain airbags were lengthened and reprogrammed to deploy in frontal crashes (in addition to side and rollover crashes) to improve occupant protection.

Driver restraints and dummy kinematics

Action shot taken during the small overlap frontal crash test.

The dummy's position in relation to the door frame, steering wheel, and instrument panel after the crash test indicates that the driver's survival space was not maintained well.

The frontal and side curtain airbags worked well together to keep the head from coming close to any stiff structure or outside objects that could cause injury, even though the steering column moved slightly too far to the right.

Door hinge pillar and instrument panel intrusion was extensive and contributed to a moderate risk of injuries to both lower legs.

About the original moderate overlap front test

Side: original test

Rating applies to 2014-24 models

Tested vehicle: 2014 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4-door 4wd with standard head curtain airbags for all three rows of seats and standard front seat-mounted torso airbags

The Toyota 4Runner was redesigned for the 2010 model year. Beginning with 2014 models, design changes were made to the side curtain airbags. Side ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by Toyota. However, because there were no side structural changes, the structure rating of the current model is based on both this test and an earlier test conducted by Toyota of a 2010 model.
