2023 -2024 Toyota Highlander Specs, Price, Features, Mileage
The Toyota Highlander is a mid-size crossover SUV that was first introduced by Toyota in 2000. It falls within the segment of vehicles that are designed to offer a blend of utility, comfort, and versatility. The Highlander is a popular choice for families and individuals seeking a vehicle that can comfortably accommodate passengers and cargo while providing a smooth and refined driving experience. The Highlander has a lot to offer, but it barely ranks in the middle of the pack in the fiercely competitive mid-size SUV class, which includes more than two dozen vehicles. There are eleven different trims available. There are both hybrid and nonhybrid powertrain options, with front-wheel drive as the default and all-wheel drive as an option. All trims offer smooth riding and capable handling, although the Highlander’s attitude behind the wheel could need a shot of coffee. Even on the base L, the cabin is well furnished with contemporary conveniences, user-friendly infotainment, and a variety of driver-assistance technologies as standard. The Limited and Platinum variants, which come with an attractive leather interior, a high-end JBL music system, and additional tech features, perform a good imitation of a Lexus. In place of the Highlander’s regular V-6 for 2023 is a new 2.4-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine. Toyota claims the combined fuel economy rating of 24 mpg is equal to that of the old V-6, which begs the question of why the switch to fewer cylinders was made. The new engine produces 265 horsepower and 309 pound-feet of torque. Limited and Platinum grades now include digital gauge clusters and a new 12.3-inch infotainment display. The XLE and XSE levels include a hands-free power-operated rear liftgate, and those premium models also have power-folding external mirrors.
Kiichiro Toyoda established TOyota in 1937 as a branch of Toyoda Automatic Loom Works, the business his father started. The Model AA was the first mass-produced car made by the firm, which initially specialized in the manufacture of automobiles. Toyota steadily increased and broadened its business over time, emerging as a prominent force in the worldwide auto sector. Toyota has a significant global footprint thanks to its manufacturing facilities and subsidiaries located in numerous nations. The corporation can make and sell vehicles all over the world thanks to its manufacturing facilities in regions including North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and others. Toyota is renowned for its broad selection of vehicles, which includes hybrids, electric vehicles, trucks, SUVs, and passenger cars. The Toyota Camry, Corolla, Prius, RAV4, Highlander, Tacoma, and the recognizable Toyota Land Cruiser are just a few of the well-known makes. Toyota has always been a leader in the automobile industry. In 1997, the business unveiled the Toyota Prius, the first hybrid vehicle to be mass-produced, solidifying its dedication to environmentally friendly technologies. Toyota has kept up its research and development spending in an effort to improve the performance, efficiency, and safety of its vehicles.

Conclusions
In conclusion, since its release in 2000, the Toyota Highlander has been a well-liked option for families and individuals looking for a versatile and comfortable vehicle. Although it combines usefulness, comfort, and a smooth driving experience, it is up against stiff competition in the mid-size SUV segment. The Highlander has a variety of options, including hybrid and non-hybrid powertrains with front-wheel and all-wheel drive layouts. There are eleven different trim levels available. Although the car has good handling and a comfortable ride, some drivers might find its driving dynamics to be less interesting than those of its rivals. Even on the lowest grade, the Highlander’s inside is well-appointed with modern amenities, user-friendly infotainment, and a number of standard driver-assistance technology. The highest trim levels, including the Limited and Platinum models, offer opulent features like leather interiors, high-end JBL music systems, and cutting-edge technology that is almost Lexus-like.
