Refined and more sophisticated than previous models, the 2017 Toyota Highlander’s stop-traffic good looks and high-powered performance is sure to spark conversation.
Outside, this savvy SUV is definitely a looker, with its new lower and upper grilles. The LE, LE Plus and XLE trims get silver-painted grilles, while the top-of-the-line grades (Limited and Platinum) get chrome-finished ones, for even more class and sophistication.
If you decide to buy one of these modern marvels, you’ll also get three new exterior colors to pick from: Salsa Red Pearl (SE trim only), Toasted Walnut Pearl and Celestial Silver Metallic.
Moving on to what powers this 2017 Toyota Highlander, you’ll find a brawny 3.5-liter V6 engine under the hood that delivers enhanced power and fuel efficiency. This powerplant is mated to a new eight-speed automatic transmission.
These new mechanics will also be implemented on all Highlander Hybrid models; however, the engine on this version will be paired with a CVT, instead of the eight-speed automatic.
Toyota has also made satisfying your digital needs easier in the all-new Highlander by adding four more USB ports (five total) for more mobile device charging.
Standard safety equipment includes Automatic High Beams, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert, Forward Collision Warning and automatic emergency brake technologies. With the help of cameras and sensors, these systems significantly help drivers by warning them of potential dangers ahead.
Top-tier grades get even more advanced technologies like a Bird’s Eye View Camera with Perimeter scan for a 360-degree view around the SUV. This technology also tackles parallel parking jobs with ease.
