Overview
Designed to elevate every day.
With standout design, flexible storage, and a spacious cabin that seats up to eight, Highlander’s ready for life’s biggest moments and everything else along the way.
Drive Modes
Three distinct modes let you tailor every drive to your mood. Sport Mode provides sharper acceleration, Eco Mode helps maximize fuel efficiency, and Normal Mode blends fuel economy with performance.
Captivating Exterior Design
Highlander’s bold design is hard to ignore. Its sculpted shape and contoured lines strike the perfect balance of power and refinement.
12.3-In. Digital Gauge Cluster
Standard on XSE, Limited, and Platinum, the 12.3-in. digital gauge cluster presents turn-by-turn directions, safety info, alerts, and more, all at a glance, so you can keep your eyes on the road.
Third-Row Seating
Highlander’s roomy interior gives you enough space to seat up to eight, making it great for larger crews.
Performance
Maximize every road trip.
Experience the Highlander, where capability meets efficiency. Whether you choose the 2.4L turbo engine delivering 265 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque or the hybrid with up to a 35 EPA-estimated combined mpg rating, Highlander offers a smooth and confident ride with the capability to take on any day.
XSE Sport-Tuned Suspension
Highlander XSE hugs the road a little tighter with its sport-tuned shock absorbers, high-rate springs, and rear stabilizer bar that give you enhanced handling on the road.
Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD
Dynamic Torque Vectoring All-Wheel Drive (AWD) improves responsiveness and stability, sending up to 50 percent of the power to the rear and then distributing more power to the wheel that needs it.
Towing Capacity
The epitome of power and smoothness. Highlander’s 2.4-liter turbo engine flexes some muscle with its up to 5000-lb. towing capacity.
Multi-Terrain Select
Capable even when the pavement ends, Highlander features Multi-Terrain Select (MTS) on All-Wheel Drive (AWD) models. Choose between four modes (Mud & Sand, Rock & Dirt, Snow, and Normal) for enhanced traction.
Exterior Design
Style that adapts to your journey.
Highlander’s sophisticated appearance and convenient tech keep pace with your lifestyle and the demands of the road while showing off its versatile style.
Rain-Sensing Wipers
Highlander helps you enjoy a clear view, rain or shine. When falling rain is detected, available rain-sensing wipers activate and adjust their speed based on weather and driving conditions.
Twin-Tip Exhaust
Underneath XSE’s unique rear bumper features a striking twin-tip exhaust. Chrome-plated for durability, it adds a distinctive edge that highlights the sportiness and agility of your Highlander.
20-In. Wheels
Highlander shows off more style with its available 20-in. alloy wheels. Standard on XSE, Limited, and Platinum, available 20-in. alloy wheels amplify Highlander's sleek look.
LED Headlights
The dynamic front end of Highlander shows off its modern look. The stylish, standard LED headlights provide a crisp, clean light, while available auto-leveling LED projector-beam headlights help keep light aimed down at the road for better visibility.
Interior Design
Innovation with a view.
The available 12.3-in. digital gauge cluster keeps you informed with directions, safety alerts, and more—all at a glance, so you can stay focused on the road ahead. Meanwhile, the available panoramic moonroof lets you follow the stars above, with a power tilt/slide and a retractable sunshade for a breeze when you want it or cover when you need it.
