Description

The 2017 Toyota Highlander presents a compelling blend of family-friendly utility, robust performance, and newfound standard safety, making it a highly desirable choice in the competitive midsize SUV segment. Its refreshed exterior boasts a bolder front fascia and redesigned headlights, projecting a more assertive and modern stance on the road.

Under the hood, the 2017 Highlander offers a significant upgrade with an all-new available 3.5-liter V6 direct-injection engine, paired with an advanced Direct Shift-8AT (8-speed automatic transmission). This potent combination delivers increased horsepower and torque, enhancing acceleration and providing impressive towing capabilities up to 5,000 pounds. A more fuel-efficient four-cylinder engine remains available, while an innovative Stop and Start Engine System on V6 models further boosts efficiency in city driving.

The Highlander’s interior is meticulously crafted for comfort and versatility, offering spacious seating for up to eight passengers with reclining third-row seats. Available second-row captain’s chairs provide an even more luxurious experience for seven. Thoughtful amenities like five USB ports throughout the cabin ensure everyone stays connected and charged. Sound-insulating materials and acoustic-type glass contribute to a remarkably quiet ride, while an available Bird’s Eye View Camera and Driver Easy Speak system add convenience for busy families.

Crucially, the 2017 Highlander sets a new standard for safety by making Toyota Safety Sense P (TSS-P) standard across all trims. This comprehensive suite includes features like Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Automatic High Beams, and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, providing a proactive approach to safety and peace of mind on every journey. The Highlander continues to be a trusted companion for any adventure.
