2018 Toyota Highlander

Conventionally-powered models are built  featuring dual variable valve timing with intelligence and other technologies to maximize power and efficiency. This is paired with an eight-speed direct-shift automatic with transmission cooler, plus a heavy-duty battery, starter, alternator and heater for ultra reliable winter performance.

The Toyota Highlander is offered in front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive powertrains. All Highlanders are enhanced with Hill-start Assist Control, while all-wheel-drive models also feature the Active Torque Control System and Downhill Assist Control.

Highlander is a joy to drive, thanks to its highly responsive (and efficient) electric power steering, plus a double-wishbone rear suspension with trailing arms for a smooth, comfortable ride.

Highlander features an elegant new front and rear fascia design and LED head and tail lamps. Premium features include standard 18” chrome-clad or optional 19” black or dark chrome-clad alloys, and an available panoramic glass roof on Limited and Limited Hybrid.

The 7-passenger Highlander SE AWD package (available on the Highlander XLE) adds sporty and stylish features like 19” black alloy wheels, a sport grille, black roof rails, a sport interior trim upholstered in leather. Inside, you’ll find middle row captain’s chairs and ambient lighting. There are 5 exterior colours available, including Salsa Red Pearl - available exclusively on the SE package.

Available on XLE and Limited models (gas & hybrid) you can now change lanes with even more confidence. Blind Spot Monitoring detects when a vehicle has entered a blind spot on either side, then signals an alert if you attempt to change lanes. The Rear Cross Traffic Alert system detects vehicles approaching from the side using a millimetre wave radar sensor, and alerts the driver.

XLE and Limited Models include a remote-operated power rear door with jam protection. The rear door also includes flip up rear door glass with a sunshade. A tonneau cover is standard, to conceal your belongings in the cargo area.

Toyota’s renowned gas and electric HSD powertrain is standard on all Highlander Hybrid models. It includes exciting features like regenerative braking to recapture energy so you never have to plug in. A long battery life, and exceptional 8 year/160,000km hybrid component warranty also come standard.
