The back-seat passengers can enjoy Blu-ray entertainment on a 9-inch screen with two sets of wireless headphones.

Tons of Space

Whether you're transporting passengers or cargo, you'll have the space you need. With all of the rear seats folded flat, the 2019 Highlander offers up to 83.7 cubic feet of space for hauling cargo. The second and third-row seats both split to fold so you can have different variations of seating and cargo space. If you want to bring friends and family along for the trip, keep all of the seats folded up for room for eight passengers. Even then, you'll still enjoy 13.8 cubic feet of space behind the third row.

Power to Get You Where You Want to Go

The base trims come with a 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine that creates 185 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque offering 1,500 pounds of towing capability. For even more kick, choose one of the higher trim levels, which come equipped with a V-6 engine that offers 295 horsepower and 263 pound-feet of torque for 5,000 pounds of towing capacity. An available all-wheel-drive system with torque control gives engine power exactly where it's needed for ideal handling and grip in any situation.

Safety Features

Thanks to a passive safety system, you'll have total peace of mind even in the event of an accident. With a strong steel frame and eight airbags positioned throughout the cabin, everyone will remain well protected. Several active safety features included with Toyota's Safety Sense P package will help you avoid collisions altogether. An automatic cruise control system will keep your Highlander at a safe following distance from other vehicles. A pre-collision warning system and lane departure alerts will also help you practice safer driving. Opt for additional available features like a blind-spot monitoring system and rear cross traffic alerts for even more support. Automatic high beams come standard on higher trim levels for clear views at night without endangering other drivers. At Mark Jacobson Toyota, you'll find a great selection of new Toyota vehicles.
