2023 Highlander Information

2023 Toyota Highlander

Drive with purpose. Arrive in style.

The Toyota Highlander with advanced capabilities and a confident drive, puts you and your crew in position to upgrade your adventures. For the 2023 model year, Toyota is giving buyers even more reasons to choose the Highlander for the next vehicle starting with an all-new engine for gas models that offers impressive performance in a compact package.

Gas model 2023 Highlander's are now equipped with a new, higher-torque, high-efficiency turbocharged engine. The 265-horsepower, 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, which uses balance shafts for super-smooth performance, delivers 310 lb-ft of torque - the results in a significant 17% increase over the previous 3.5-liter V6 engine's 263 lb-ft. Just as important, fuel efficiency is also improved for this higher torque engine with an EPA-estimate of up to 25 MPG combined. The new engine is standard across all grades is also more environmentally friendly with more than a 50% reduction in NOx and NMOG compared to the outgoing V6 engine.

The new 2023 Highlander turbo models are equipped to tow up to 5,000-pounds and include Trailer Sway Control, which uses Vehicle Stability Control to help control unwanted trailer movement. To help reduce fuel consumption and emissions, the standard Stop and Start Engine System allows the engine to shut off when the vehicle comes to complete stop and instantly restarts when the driver's foot lifts from the brake pedal. 

Other Updates

Updates for the Highlander go beyond the new engine and another update includes a larger multimedia screens and other amenities for greater value across all grades and powertrains. In addition to the JBL Premium Audio System with 11 speakers as a carryover from 2022, the Hybrid Bronze Edition, Limited and Platinum grades now have two 12.3-inch screens as standard; one Multi-Information Display screen and one multimedia screen. The 12.3-inch audio multimedia touchscreen will also be optional for the XLE and sporty XSE grades, which have an 8-inch screen as standard. For added convenience and value, the Limited and Platinum grades (gas and hybrid) now come standard with power folding exterior mirrors.

Inside, for 2023 the available wireless charging feature just got better for front seat passengers. In an effort to be more accessible, Toyota moved the Qi-compatible wireless charger from the center console box to a more convenient location in the center dashboard shelf below the audio multimedia touchscreen. The icing on the cake, the 2023 Highlander adds a new elegant new Cypress green exterior color.

Remarkably Hybrid.

The Highlander Hybrid, with its remarkable 36 combined MPG EPA-estimated rating, accounts for more than a quarter of Highlander sales in the US. The 2023 Highlander Hybrid, offered in both FWD and AWD, combines a high-efficiency 2.5-liter DOHC four-cylinder engine with two electric motor-generators. With a total of 243 total system horsepower, EPA-estimated 36 combined MPG and a towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds for all grades. The Highlander Hybrid's battery pack was developed with a convenience in mind and is installed under the second-row seats, so it does not take away any cargo or passenger space. 

The Highlander Hybrid offers selectable NORMAL, ECO and SPORT driving modes that let the driver choose the vehicle's performance personality. ECO mode extracts maximum efficiency from the fuel and battery, while NORMAL model is idea for everyday driving. SPORT mode quickens the throttle response from the hybrid system for improved acceleration control. A bonus is the EV mode, which allows electric-only driving at low speeds for short distances.  Highlander Hybrid's Predictive Efficient Drive analyzes the driver's daily driving habits and upcoming road and traffic conditions to optimize battery usage and charging. The more the vehicle is driven, the more data is accumulated, thereby helping to support fuel efficient driving patterns.
