The 2023 Toyota Highlander is a stylish mid-size SUV that offers three rows with seating for up to eight passengers. Along with a sophisticated-looking exterior, this crossover delivers exceptional performance on road trips, available all-wheel drive for tackling trails, and plenty of exciting tech features that help make even the shortest drives adventurous.
Engine and Versatility
This edition’s 2.4-liter turbocharged engine is a four-cylinder that produces 265 horsepower as well as 310 pound-feet of torque. This provides a unique combination of quick acceleration, up to 5,000 pounds of towing strength, and excellent gas mileage, as the vehicle boasts an estimated 25 miles per gallon in combined city/highway mileage.
In addition to the optional all-wheel drive, two different systems are offered to help you tackle both highways and rugged terrains. Multi-Terrain Select lets you quickly adjust the vehicle’s traction to challenging terrains, like mud, rocks, and dirt, while Drive Mode Select adjusts performance to help you save gas, take on snow, or enhance engine responsiveness for more sporty driving.
A Luxurious Interior
The Highlander’s interior is a plush, comfortable one, with available features like both front and second-row leather-trimmed seating with a heating control, tri-zone climate control divides the cabin into multiple temperature zones, and a relaxing ambient lighting feature.
If you happen to have more cargo than passengers, you can fully fold down the available third-row 60/40 partitioned seat to accommodate it or flip only one side down when you have to make room for passengers as well.
Innovative Technology
The Toyota Audio Multimedia System, which offers a full-color 12.3-inch touchscreen display, is the pinnacle of this vehicle’s many impressive tech features, as it offers plenty of entertainment and connectivity functions, from both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility to hands-free calling.
There’s also the available Panoramic View Monitor, which allows you to see multiple angles around the vehicle, including a unique bird’s-eye view of the vehicle and your surroundings. Then there’s the 10-inch Head-Up Display, a feature that projects important info onto your windshield, so you can keep your head straight and eyes facing forward while driving.
Safety Monitoring
As for safety, the Automatic High Beams are convenient and can prevent distractions for other drivers by switching your high beams to low beams as they’re approaching, while the Pre-Collision System with pedestrian detection can automatically stop the vehicle if you’re at risk of a frontal collision with pedestrians or other vehicles.
Keeping you safely centered within your lane, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist will let you know if you start to deviate from where you should be, and, if necessary, it can make subtle steering adjustments to help you maneuver back.
As versatile as it is comfortable, the 2023 Highlander delivers incredible performance and a wishlist of stunning tech features. To experience this fun-loving three-row SUV for yourself, reach out and speak to any of our staff members at Royal Moore Toyota today.
