It’s paired with a Tiptronic 8-speed automatic transmission and our quattro all-wheel-drive system for seamless acceleration and confident control on any road surface.
This sporty SUV goes from 0-60 in 4.0 seconds, combining sports car speed with SUV stability. The sport adaptive air suspension adjusts in real time to Tacoma’s roads – softening for city driving or firming up for spirited driving through the Cascade foothills.
