A new Toyota Highlander release is always the most anticipated SUV in its class. With a long list of incredible standard features and Toyota’s reputation for building great vehicles, this SUV is sure to find a place on every driver’s wishlist.
Powerful Gas Engine
The Highlanders engine combines performance and power, delivering a driving experience suitable for those who like a little excitement and drivers who prefer to set it to cruise control. The 3.5-liter V6 engine of the 2021 Highlander delivers a whopping 295 horsepower and is connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Drivers have the option of front or all-wheel drive, with the AWD version proving a little bit quicker in road tests.
Hybrid Powertrain Option
Going green is nothing new to Toyota as the carmaker has been producing high-quality hybrid vehicles for some time now. The Highlander’s hybrid powertrain comprises a 2.5-liter four-banger and two electric motors.
This faction delivers a combined 243 horsepower and is paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission. Drivers can also choose between FWD and AWD if they select the hybrid engine.
Outstanding Interior Comfort
Comfort and Luxury are typically synonymous with SUV interiors these days. However, the 2021 Highlander rises above the rest, and Toyota has improved the cabin of its prized SUV by adding more high-quality materials throughout.
Seating is plush and supportive, while head and legroom are copious. Both the second and third-row are surprisingly spacious, and opting for second-row captain’s chairs on higher trim levels makes the ride for passengers even more enjoyable.
Outstanding Safety Features
Even with all that power under the hood, the 2021 Highlander receives top marks for being one of the safest SUVs to drive.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) awarded the Highlander a five out of five-star safety rating. At the same time, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) named it a top safety pick. This should come as no surprise since the Highlander comes with an array of high-tech standard safety features.
Toyota Warranty You Can Count On
Toyota is the top car manufacturer globally because it stands behind the high-quality vehicles it produces with warranties you can feel good about.
The limited warranty on the Highlander covers three years/36,000 miles and the powertrain warranty covers up to five years/60,000 miles. The hybrid-component warranty has you covered for up to eight years/100,000 miles and drivers receive complimentary maintenance for two years/25,000 miles.
