Toyota quality, dependability, reliability and value seal the deal for Highlander customers, who also buy for the sleek and strong design that also helps ensure ample visibility for the driver.

Notably for 2018, all Highlander models are equipped as standard with the advanced Toyota Safety Sense P (TSS-P) driver-assist technology. High-tech safety abounds in Highlander, especially with regard to visibility. All models come equipped with a standard backup camera. On the XLE grade and above, standard Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert helps alert drivers to unseen hazards.

The Highlander Limited Platinum grade takes visibility and safety to new heights with standard Bird's Eye View Camera with Perimeter Scan, which helps improve the driver's ability to see all around the vehicle.

The Highlander has grown up over the years. The third-generation model is a three-row family SUV with seating for up to eight. For 2018, the Highlander Hybrid remains available in LE, XLE, Limited and Limited Platinum grades. The gas model is offered in LE, LE Plus, SE, XLE, Limited and Limited Platinum, all available in either FWD or AWD.

The Highlander has a 3.5-liter D-4S Injection V6 that boosts output to 295 horsepower and 263 lb.-ft. of torque. Teamed to the Direct Shift 8-speed automatic transmission, the more powerful engine yields better EPA fuel economy estimates for all-wheel drive models: EPA-estimated 19 mpg city/26 mpg highway.

All-wheel drive availability is a given with SUVs, and the V6 Highlander offers an exemplary system. Dynamic Torque Control AWD is a sophisticated driving partner that helps get the vehicle through all sorts of slippery situations. Under normal cruising conditions, the system remains in front-wheel drive to reduce fuel consumption. An AWD LOCK switch holds the 50:50 torque split for certain low-speed driving situations in challenging conditions up to 25 mph.
