Say hello to the leaner, meaner Toyota Highlander
A heavy update for 2017 results in a tightly designed front end and a whole slew of safety features.
Welcome to the 2017 Toyota Highlander.
The Highlander got a pretty heavy refresh for 2017. The front end is just a bit sharper.
Redesigned LED taillights now grace this midsized, three-row crossover.
A 3.5-liter V6 engine is available, offering 295 horsepower and 263 pound-feet of torque.
If you're not into power, the standard engine is a 2.7-liter power plant with 185 horsepower. That seems small for such a large crossover.
Toyota added the SE trim for 2017 with some easy-to-miss sporty elements like 19-inch black finish wheels and dark painted front grille and roof rails.
You can also go green with a Highlander hybrid. The 3.5-liter V6 is paired with two electric motors for a total power output of 306 horsepower.
The Toyota Safety Sense P (TSS-P) package is standard across all trim lines of the Highlander, offering lane-keeping assist to keep the car from drifting out of lane and dynamic radar cruise control.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not available in the Highlander.
