The all-new Toyota Highlander is a no-compromise midsize three-row SUV that brings together the best in style, technology, comfort, capability, and safety.
Sophisticated and dynamic, the new Highlander features a progressive silhouette, a lower roofline for improved aerodynamics, and sculptured side-door panels. The exterior has grown in length by approximately 3 inches while width has increased one-half inch, conveying a sleek and strong appearance.
Highlander's interior utilizes premium materials to offer an upscale experience, with most models featuring standard contrast seat stitching. All 2014 Highlanders come equipped with a soft-touch instrument panel; and silver-painted, satin, and chrome-plated accents that are thoughtfully placed throughout the interior.
Getting into the third-row is made easier with the addition of a one-step, second-row sliding seat function on both driver and passenger sides that provides nearly 3 more inches of space for easier entry and exit to the third-row. Rear cargo space behind the third-row has also increased by 34 percent for added storage.
Highlander is available in four well-equipped grades: LE, LE Plus, XLE and Limited. A 3.5-liter V6 generates 270-horsepower and 248 lb.-ft of torque. Acceleration and fuel efficiency are improved thanks to a new six-speed, electronically controlled automatic transmission. The LE offers a 185-horsepower 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine also equipped with VVT-i and teamed with a six-speed automatic transmission.
The Highlander Hybrid model's Hybrid Synergy Drive system pairs the 3.5-liter V6 gasoline engine with a high-torque electric drive motor-generator for additional power and fuel efficiency. Net horsepower adds up to an impressive 280.
