Toyota Highlander

The Highlander lineup offers several striking trim levels, including the L, which features an aggressive grille that pairs perfectly with LED headlamps. With the LE, you can take advantage of LED fog lights, power-folding mirrors with heating, and a power-operated liftgate featuring height adjustability and jam protection. The XLE sits atop machine-finished wheels measuring 18 inches and offers a power tilt/slide moonroof with a sunshade.

On the XSE, you'll find a stylish mesh grille, an exhaust with twin tips, and black machined wheels measuring 20 inches. The Limited's 20-inch wheels have a chrome finish, and this model features LED projector headlamps and heated mirrors with puddle lamps. Toyota equips the Platinum with a panoramic glass roof and a front tilt/slide moonroof.

The Toyota Highlander is powered by a 265-horsepower, 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that generates 310 pound-feet of torque. This substantial output gives the Highlander a 5,000-pound towing capacity. With a start-stop system, the Highlander can shut off the engine when pulling up to a stop sign or red light. This system and other fuel-saving features make the Highlander's engine exceptionally efficient.

An eight-speed automatic transmission comes standard in the Highlander, improving engine response while delivering seamless gear shifts for swift acceleration and easy handling. A nimble front-wheel-drive system also comes standard, providing the flexibility you need to zip around busy city streets and conquer tight corners. Equipping your Highlander with the available all-wheel-drive system enables it to distribute torque to all four wheels based on changes in weather and terrain. No matter where you're going, you'll notice how the Highlander's fine-tuned suspension reduces noise and impact to make every ride more comfortable.

The Highlander can seat seven or eight people, depending on your trim, with every model featuring premium seating surfaces and stylish accents. You can fold the rear seats for 84.3 cubic feet of cargo volume if you want cargo space instead of passenger space. Upper trim levels add amenities such as three-zone automatic temperature control, a wireless charging pad, and heated and ventilated seats. Upper trims also get a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, while lower trims get an 8.0-inch display.

No matter where you're going, you can count on the Toyota Highlander to have your back with a pre-collision system that can sense potential collisions with vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists and apply the brakes when necessary. Dynamic radar cruise control helps your Highlander maintain a safe following distance while letting you enjoy your desired cruising speed. When a vehicle enters your blind-spot zones, you'll receive a warning from the blind-spot monitor. You can also take advantage of a lane-departure alert, a rear cross-traffic monitor, and parking sensors.
