The seven-seat Toyota Highlander sits at the top of our SUV line-up, joining the RAV4, Toyota C-HR and Yaris Cross to provide the widest range of hybrid sports utility vehicles Europe has ever seen.
Built on the GA-K platform, the Toyota Highlander is equipped with our fourth-generation hybrid technology for up to 80% emissions-free driving. It combines Toyota’s renowned reputation for quality, durability and reliability with traditional SUV qualities such as all-wheel drive traction, a flexible interior and strong towing capacity.
How big is the Toyota Highlander?
The Highlander is 4,966mm long, 1,930mm wide and 1,755mm high and has a 2,850mm wheelbase. Its sophisticated design suggests the look of an urban SUV, while its wide front and tracks (1,662 and 1,690mm respectively) and flared arches create a broad stance that communicates the power, strength and durability of a rugged all-wheel drive model. The sizeable proportions continue with the fitment of striking 20-inch alloy wheels.
How spacious is it inside?
Highlander’s generous 2,850mm wheelbase is 160mm longer than that of the smaller RAV4, which allows it to be a true seven-seater. The second row of seats has a sliding range of 180mm to ensure spacious third-row accommodation for two adults and easy access. Legroom for front seat occupants is up to 1,067mm, with up to 1,043mm in the middle row and 703mm in the third row.
When all seven seats are in place, the load compartment offers 332 litres of storage space, including 27 litres beneath the floor. But this capacity quickly increases to 865 litres and a massive 1,909 litres when the third and second-row seats are folded down. In addition, there are multiple storage compartments throughout the cabin, together with power, USB and HDMI ports in the front seats and middle row.
What trim levels are available?
For the UK market, the Highlander is available in two high-specification versions: Excel and Excel Premium.
Premium features that are standard on the Excel include a seven-inch TFT multi-information display in the driver’s instrument binnacle, a multimedia system with a central eight-inch display, satellite navigation, smartphone integration and…
