    Toyota Prius have a delivery time of about 2 years for the G and Z models

    The delivery time for new cars is still long due to factors such as a shortage of semiconductors. The delivery time varies depending on the car model and sales company, but as of mid-April 2023, popular models such as the Toyota Prius have a delivery time of about 2 years for the G and Z models, and about 1 year for the plug-in hybrid Z model. Other Toyota models such as the Noah, Voxy, Crown Cross, Land Cruiser, Corolla Cross, and Yaris Cross have also experienced significant delays in delivery time. Nissan has stopped taking orders for the Fairlady Z and Ariya due to prolonged delivery times, while Honda’s Step Wagon, Civic, and ZR-V models require at least a year for delivery. The delivery time is affected by various conditions, including the needs of overseas markets where the car models are sold, and some models may stop taking orders in advance due to planned improvements.
    Japanese car manufacturers have varying wait times for their vehicles. Toyota’s Prius has a wait time of about 2 years, but other small cars can be delivered in as little as 2 months. Suzuki’s Jimny and Jimny Sierra have wait times of over a year, but other small cars have relatively short wait times. Honda’s N-BOX can be delivered within 6 months, while Nissan’s Luke and Days have a wait time of about 4 months. Mitsubishi’s Delica Mini has a wait time of about 4 months, but may increase due to its popularity. Compact cars also have varying wait times, with Toyota’s Passo having a wait time of 2-3 months, while the Yaris and Aqua have a wait time of about 5 months. Honda’s Fit has a wait time of over 6 months, while Suzuki’s Escudo and Swift have a wait time of 4-5 months.

Unveiled on October 3, 2023, the 2024 4Runner promises a host of enhancements, including vibrant new colors and advanced safety features.

    Originally debuting in 1984, the 4Runner has undergone a remarkable evolution, with the Japanese model known as the “Hilux Surf” up to its fourth generation. The current fifth-generation model, introduced in 2009, boasts a robust chassis, sturdy frame structure, and a 4-link coil rear suspension with lateral rods and stabilizer bar.

The drive system offers versatility, featuring part-time 4WD, rear-wheel drive (FR), and full-time 4WD on select grades.

    The 2024 model year introduces a standardization of safety features across all grades, with the inclusion of Toyota Safety Sense P. This comprehensive safety suite encompasses emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning with sway warning, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot warning, and a monitor.

    Enthusiasts of rugged off-road adventures will be thrilled with the introduction of the “TRD Pro” grade. Boasting special exterior enhancements and a specially tuned suspension for rough terrains, the TRD Pro grade stands out with a striking new dark orange body color named “Terra.” This unique shade, also available on other Toyota off-road vehicles like the Tundra and Sequoia in North America, adds a distinctive touch to the lineup. Additionally, a new color option, “Underground,” will be available for other grades.

    The 2024 4Runner lineup features the TRD Sport grade, emphasizing a sportier impression, equipped with a new Cross-Link Relative Absorber System (X-REAS) suspension to elevate handling.

    While the pricing details for the 2024 4Runner are yet to be disclosed as of October 4, 2023, it is anticipated that Toyota will reveal the information closer to the official release date. For reference, the 2023 models currently on sale are priced between $40,155 (approximately 5,990,000 yen) and $54,620 (approximately 8,150,000 yen).
