What's New
Toyota has not revealed much about the 2011, except to announce that it will receive a "significant minor change." We are guessing that may include a slight redesign of the front end -- a more Venza- and Sienna-like grille, for example -- updates to the interior, and possibly making the six-speed automatic standard for the V-6, which could also improve fuel economy.
Exterior
This generation Highlander is more rounded than the last generation, looking much more like a crossover than a traditional sport/utility. Seventeen-inch wheels are standard; 19-inch alloys, foldable power heated side-view mirrors, and chrome accents are o
Interior
The Highlander can seat as many as seven, but five seats come standard. Second row is removable, and leather seats plus 10-way power driver seat are available. Six-speaker audio is also available.
Performance & Handling
When Motor Trend last tested the Toyota Highlander, it was with the 3.5-liter V-6 in a seven-seat all-wheel drive Sport. It accelerated briskly, reaching 60 mph in 7.3 seconds and running the quarter mile in 15.7 seconds at 87.7 mph. Handling is decent, but tires seem to howl during hard cornering. The Highlander stopped from 60 mph in 123 feet.
Safety
Driver and front passenger airbags, driver and front passenger seat-mounted side airbags, three-row side curtain airbags, and a driver knee airbag are standard. Antilock brakes with brake assist, electronic brake-force distribution, stability control, and traction control are standard on Highlander and Hybrid.
