Unique to Highlander XSE, sport-tuned shock absorbers, higher-rate
springs and a rear stabilizer bar give you better road handling, while its
lower, athletic stance shows it’s ready to hit the ground running.
For Highlander AWD models, this intelligent system lets you choose between
four modes for improved traction. When activated, the system is designed
to sense slippage and regulate wheelspin — helping to maximize driving
performance on different surfaces.
This available system improves responsiveness
and stability by sending up to 50 percent of the
power to the rear and then further distributing
more power to the wheel that needs it.
More miles mean more fun. From date nights to
day trips, Highlander V6 models have up to a
manufacturer-estimated 24 combined mpg rating3
to help you get the most out of every drive.
Highlander’s powerful and smooth 3.5-liter
V6 engine produces 295 hp and 263 lb.-ft. of
torque. And when adventures require more, take
advantage of its impressive towing capacity of
up to 5000 lbs.
Three distinct drive modes let you tailor
Highlander’s driving dynamics. Sport Mode
provides sharper acceleration, Eco Mode helps
maximize fuel efficiency, and Normal Mode
blends fuel economy with performance.
The sporty vibe of Highlander XSE
continues inside, with a look to match.
Available Red and Black leathertrimmed
seats with Red accent stitching
across the instrument panel emphasize
its modern design and will inspire you
to take it to new places.
Feel the quality from every seat.
A standard power-adjustable driver’s
seat, available heated and ventilated
front seats, and available heated
second-row seats allow you and your
crew to personalize comfort, while the
premium materials throughout raise
its level of sophistication.
When you’re loading them up with
your crew, Highlander’s available
second-row bench seating and
third-row seats let you carry up
to eight people.
Highlander’s interior is as versatile as
your life demands. When you need
to put a priority on cargo space, the
second- and third-row seats fold flat
to open up to 84.3 cu. ft. of space.
Follow the stars above with Highlander’s
available panoramic glass roof with front
power tilt/slide moonroof. Slide it open
to catch a breeze and enjoy the wide-open
view, or easily close it all up with the
power-retractable sunshade.
Underneath XSE’s unique rear bumper features
Highlander’s first-ever twin-tip exhaust. Chromeplated
for durability and added attention, it helps
finish off the sportier rear design.
Highlander shows off more style with its 20-in. alloy
wheels. Standard on XSE, Limited and Platinum,
these sleek wheels add more sophistication without
compromising performance.
Easy to use and even more convenient. When your
hands are full, Highlander’s available hands-free
power liftgate6 senses your Smart Key fob7 and
opens automatically when you kick your foot under
the rear bumper.
Highlander’s stylish standard LED headlights
provide a crisp, clean light, while available
auto-leveling LED projector-beam headlights
help keep light aimed down at the road for
better visibility.
Under certain circumstances, Lane Departure Alert (LDA)1 is designed to detect lane departure on roads with clear markings. LDA only activates when you’re traveling at a speed of 32 mph or faster. When you hear and see the alert, after carefully checking the road around you, you should safely direct your vehicle back to the center of your lane. In addition, Toyota vehicles equipped with Toyota Safety Sense™ P (TSS-P) 2 and Electronic Power Steering (EPS) include Steering Assist3 functionality. When it’s activated and senses that you’re unintentionally drifting, the system may automatically make small corrective steering inputs to help keep your vehicle in its lane.
Intended for highways and similar to “constant speed” cruise control, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)4 lets you drive at a preset speed. DRCC uses vehicle-to-vehicle distance control, which adjusts your speed, to help you maintain a preset distance from vehicles ahead of you that are driving at a slower speed. DRCC uses a front-grille-mounted radar and an in-vehicle camera to detect vehicles and their distance. If a driver is traveling slower than you, or within your preset range, DRCC will automatically slow your vehicle down without deactivating cruise control. If DRCC determines you need to slow down more, an audio and visual alert notifies you and brakes are applied. When there’s no longer a vehicle driving slower than your set speed in front of you, DRCC will then accelerate and regular cruise control will resume.
Using an in-vehicle camera and radar to help detect a vehicle or a pedestrian in front of you, the Pre-Collision System (PCS)5 with Pedestrian Detection6 (PCS w/PD) can help you mitigate or avoid a potential collision. If the system determines that a frontal collision is likely, it prompts you to take action using audio and visual alerts. If you notice the potential collision and apply the brakes, PCS w/PD may apply additional force using Brake Assist7. If you don’t brake in time, it may automatically apply the brakes to reduce your speed, helping to minimize the likelihood of a frontal collision or reduce its severity.
Automatic High Beams (AHB)t8 are a safety system designed to help you see more clearly at night—without blinding other drivers. Designed to activate at speeds above 25 mph, AHB rely on an in-vehicle camera to help detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles and taillights of preceding vehicles, then automatically toggle between high and low beams accordingly to provide the appropriate amount of light. By using high beams more frequently, the system may allow earlier detection of pedestrians and obstacles.
1 Lane Departure Alert is designed to read lane markers under certain conditions, and provide visual and audible alerts when lane departure is detected. It is not a collision-avoidance system or a substitute for safe and attentive driving. Effectiveness is dependent on road, weather and vehicle conditions. See Owner’s Manual for additional limitations and details.2 Drivers are responsible for their own safe driving. Always pay attention to your surroundings and drive safely. System effectiveness is dependent on many factors including road, weather and vehicle conditions. See Owner’s Manual for additional limitations and details.
3 Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist is designed to read visible lane markers under certain conditions. It provides a visual and audible alert, and slight steering force when lane departure is detected. It is not a collision-avoidance system or a substitute for safe and attentive driving. Effectiveness is dependent on many factors including road, weather and vehicle conditions. See Owner’s Manual for additional limitations and details.
4 Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is designed to assist the driver and is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving practices. System effectiveness is dependent on road, weather and traffic conditions. See Owner’s Manual for additional limitations and details.
5 The TSS Pre-Collision System is designed to help avoid or reduce the crash speed and damage in certain frontal collisions only. It is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness is dependent on many factors including road, weather and vehicle conditions. See Owner’s Manual for additional limitations and details.
6 The Pedestrian Detection system is designed to detect a pedestrian ahead of the vehicle, determine if impact is imminent and help reduce impact speed. It is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on many factors, such as speed, size and position of pedestrians, and weather, light and road conditions. See Owner’s Manual for additional limitations and details.
7 Brake Assist is designed to help the driver take full advantage of the benefits of ABS. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Braking effectiveness also depends on proper vehicle maintenance, and tire and road conditions. See Owner’s Manual for additional limitations and details.
8 Automatic High Beams operate at speeds above 25 mph. Factors such as a dirty windshield, weather, lighting and terrain limit effectiveness, requiring the driver to manually operate the high beams. See Owner’s Manual for additional limitations and details.
