2017 Toyota Highlander First Review

The Highlander is a solidly established family hauler, slotting in at the bigger end of Toyota’s growing SUV lineup with seats for seven or eight, lots of small object storage, lots of family-oriented features, lots of safety technology, the only hybrid option in its class, and attractive styling—at least by the utilitarian standards of this two-box vehicle class. While this Toyota mainstay isn’t due for a major makeover until model year 2019—the current generation bowed in 2014—it gets some significant updates for 2017: freshened styling, more safety features, interior updates, and, tops on the list, a new V-6 powertrain. The 3.5-liter displacement is familiar, but a new intake system, combining direct and port fuel injection, raises V-6 output from 270 horsepower and 248 pound-feet of torque to 295 and 263, respectively.
