Interior Design

There's no way to decide which interior matches your personal style until you check both out for yourself. There are, however, key differences in the cabins that you should be aware of. Both offer heated front seats and an auto-dimming rearview mirror, but the following features are only found in the 2019 Atlas:

• Climatronic® tri-zone automatic climate control
• Remote start
• Push-button start
• V-Tex leatherette seating surfaces
• 50/50 split-folding third row

Safety & Technology

The differences between the Atlas and 4Runner continue when you compare their suites of tech and safety features.
