2025 Toyota 4Runner Keeps Physical Buttons for Usability, Not Just Touchscreens

• The 2025 Toyota 4Runner has many physical buttons and dials in addition to a touchscreen to ensure usability and practicality over time.

• The design team, led by Chief Interior Designer Benjamin Jimenez, focused on real-world usage rather than just current trends that may be temporary.

• Physical buttons allow for easy access to critical functions like heat controls, especially while wearing gloves or off-roading.

• Unique and tangible buttons and dials create a more memorable experience compared to uniform all-touchscreen interiors.

• The 4Runner's intentional design required sketches and pushing the designs further to achieve the final functional and aesthetic result.
