Let’s explore all the terrific features of the 2019 Toyota Highlander.
Robust and Fuel-Efficient Engines
The base LE trim features a 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission or upgrade with the optional 3.5-liter V-6 that’s paired with a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic. The larger engine delivers robust performance, accelerating the Highlander with ease, even with a full load of gear. It can also tow a maximum 5,000 pounds and achieves some terrific estimated highway fuel economy ratings: 27 mpg highway and 21 mpg city.
Stylish Cabin
Toyota outfitted the new Highlander’s cabin with plenty of upmarket materials. Soft-touch surfaces abound, and most variants feature optional leather trim. The range-topping Limited Platinum offers discerning drivers a luxurious quality with heated and ventilated front seats upholstered in perforated leather.
A panoramic moonroof gives the Highlander’s stylish cabin an open feel, as does the expansive cargo area. Fold down both rear seats and reveal 83.7 cubic feet of cargo room. That’s plenty for hauling anything from luggage to camping gear.
Stay Connected
Toyota offers an appealing number of standard and optional tech features for the Highlander. Keep in touch with the kids in the back without yelling. Toyota’s PA system amplifies your voice, so rear-seat passengers can hear you better, especially when they’ve got the rear-seat entertainment system playing their favorite movie. Highlander comes equipped with five standard USB ports and available integrated navigation when your explorations lead you down the road less traveled.
Built for Cruising
Shoppers who want to go anywhere will appreciate the new Highlander’s smooth feel and comfortable, quiet ride. This Toyota SUV delivers a stable feel, and with the available all-wheel drive, life doesn’t end with the pavement.
