Introducing the 2026 Toyota Highlander

Performance

One of the major draws of a new SUV is its car-like performance, balancing power with efficiency. Capable of achieving a 35 EPA-estimated combined mpg rating, the new Highlander is both a city slicker and an interstate icon. And if you think all that power is nice, just wait until you realize that it doesn’t come at the expense of fuel economy. The following list has more exciting specs and features available on this model:

• Stop and Start Engine System (S&S)
• Direct Shift-8AT 8-speed Electronically Controlled automatic Transmission (ECT)
• Sport-tuned independent MacPherson strut front suspension with stabilizer bar; trailing-wishbone suspension

Technology

The best part about technology in today’s vehicles is that it keeps you connected while you’re on the road without being a distraction, and some systems are even designed to improve your focus while driving. High-quality navigation and entertainment complete the experience. Other technology features available in this vehicle include:

• Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD with Driveline Disconnect; Multi-Terrain Select (MTS) with dial
• Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD)
• Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)

Design

A great SUV makes a strong impression when you first see it, and that carries through to the first time you see inside it. Every inch of the Highlander is maximized, a claim that’s clearly seen in the 84 cu ft of cargo space. Then you can decide how to make this car your own when you choose from available interior amenities. The Highlander isn’t limited to the above design features, though. Here are a few more:

• 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat including power lumbar support
• 10-in. color Head-Up Display (HUD) with speedometer and Road Sign Assist (RSA)
• Smart Key System on front doors and liftgate with Push Button Start
