Performance & Fuel Economy
The Toyota Highlander powers forward with a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that generates an impressive 265 horsepower. This advanced powerplant features direct injection technology and an Atkinson-cycle-capable design with stop-start functionality. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, the Highlander delivers smooth acceleration and confident passing power. For the hybrid powertrain, expect a 2.5-liter engine with three electric motors, generating 243 horsepower.
Fuel efficiency remains a Highlander strength for San Marcos driving, with EPA estimates of 22 MPG in the city, 29 MPG on the highway, and 25 MPG combined. The Highlander Hybrid variant takes efficiency even further with 35 MPG combined.
Seating & Cargo Space
Interior versatility defines the Highlander experience, with standard seven-passenger seating across most trim levels. Select configurations offer eight-passenger capacity with a second-row bench seat option. The thoughtfully designed cabin provides easy access to the third row, while the 60/40 split-folding seats throughout create flexible cargo arrangements. Captain's chairs in the second row, available on several trims, add premium comfort and convenient walk-through access. Vista families find this seating flexibility perfect for growing households and active lifestyles.
Cargo capacity adapts to your needs, with a generous space of 84.3 cubic feet. The power liftgate, standard across the lineup, simplifies loading and unloading. Premium trims include a roll-up cargo cover to keep valuables secure and out of sight.
Technology
Toyota's commitment to connectivity shines through the Highlander's technology offerings. The standard eight-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia system includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, ensuring seamless smartphone integration. Higher trims feature a larger 12.3-inch display with enhanced functionality. The JBL Premium Audio system, available on Limited and Platinum trims, delivers concert-quality sound through eleven speakers, including a subwoofer and amplifier. Oceanside tech enthusiasts appreciate these modern conveniences during their daily drives.
Advanced features extend beyond entertainment, with available navigation powered by Drive Connect Cloud technology, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and multiple USB ports throughout the cabin. The Platinum trim adds a head-up display that projects critical information directly in the driver's line of sight. SiriusXM satellite radio comes standard with a three-month trial subscription, while the integrated HomeLink system controls garage doors and security gates with ease. Rancho Bernardo professionals find these technologies enhance both productivity and enjoyment during their commutes.
Safety
Toyota Safety Sense technology comes standard on every Highlander, providing comprehensive protection for all occupants. The suite includes Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, and Lane Tracing Assist to help maintain lane position. The Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection actively monitors the road ahead and can apply brakes if needed. Automatic High Beams adjust lighting based on surrounding traffic, improving visibility without disturbing other drivers.
Additional safety features vary by trim level, with higher configurations adding Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and available Rear Cross-Traffic Braking. The Platinum trim includes an Aerial View Camera System for 360-degree visibility during parking maneuvers. Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automatic Braking further simplifies tight parking situations.
