The 2023 Toyota Highlander stands out as a bold and fuel-efficient SUV. You can choose between hybrid or non-hybrid powertrains, front-wheel or all-wheel drive, and an eight-inch or 12.3-inch touchscreen. From its excellent performance to its cutting-edge technology, the Highlander’s features are certainly worth a closer look.
A Fuel-Efficient SUV
The Highlander comes with either a conventional gas engine or a hybrid system across its many trim levels. The base level L and upgraded LE are both equipped with a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged engine with front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is available. These models achieve an average of 22 miles to the gallon on city roads and 29 on the highway.
If you’re looking for an even more fuel-efficient option, consider the hybrid LE. This model is equipped with a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine with eCVT and front-wheel drive. The hybrid LE achieves an average of 36 miles to the gallon in the city and 35 on the highway. You’ll be able to track these stats and more for yourself with the seven-inch multi-information display in your Highlander.
A Bold Exterior Design
The Highlander’s contoured lines make it look perfectly in place in the city or off the beaten path. The SUV sports a black-painted front grille, LED taillights, and LED projector headlights with daytime running lights. There are color-keyed and heated power outside mirrors that include stylish turn signals for enhanced safety.
The front side windows use high solar energy absorbing technology to keep you cool inside your car. Your rear side, quarter, and liftgate windows use privacy glass.
Eight-Passenger Seating
You’ll only need one vehicle on large family outings thanks to eight-passenger seating in your Highlander. The second and third rows are both bench seats with a recline function and the ability to fold flat. This creates extra storage space when you need it. Your driver’s seat is an eight-way power adjustable model, making it easy to get comfortable on long trips.
Infotainment
An eight-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard. There are four USB charging ports to keep your devices fully charged. A six-speaker auto system provides excellent sound quality that can be enjoyed throughout the vehicle. Bluetooth streaming makes it easy to listen to exactly what you want.
The upper trim levels have the option to upgrade their infotainment systems to a 12.3-inch touchscreen. Wireless charging is also available. If you love a premium sound system, you’ll want to consider the available 11-speaker JBL upgrade. A subwoofer and amplifier boost this system to create a high-quality listening experience.
