A lot of Toyota fans and motorists have been attentive for any buzz regarding the Toyota Highlander since this new car from the Japanese colossal car company has unmasked it and Highlander mid-sized sport utility vehicle last February.
So, "what is so unique about this mid-sized SUV?" might be on every driver's mind. As stated by automotive operations and TMS senior vice president, Don Osmond, this car model, anchors one of the industry's only three-vehicle, mid- sized SUV line ups along with the 4Runner and the FJ Cruiser. He also noted that the Highlander which is now larger and markedly roomier than the preceding release, is a key constituent in the industry's only three vehicle hybrid strategy. Though it boasts of added power, the new model has not altered its fuel efficiency. Described as a near perfect execution of the most modern in auto parts engineering, this car will be quieter, sharper, resulting to enhanced adaptability and ride comfort.
This vehicle comes with the normal package of the most modern safety auto parts and accessories which is very much fitting for today's industry where safety is a much mulled over feature. It comes with seven airbags, one of which is for the driver's knees. It is also equipped with roll- sensing curtain airbags for the passenger seats. Other features include brake assist, electronic brake force distribution, traction control, anti lock breaks and enhanced vehicle stability control. The car also is manufactured with electronic steering.
The Recent Look
Designed by Calty Design Research in Newport Beach California, the all-new Highlander displays might in every angle without losing the sharp look. Looking all steady and muscular, this vehicle is accented with clean crisp lines a blend of which results in a compelling, vibrant and modern personality. The new Highlander rides on a chassis that is derived from the current Camry and Avalon, but it is four inches longer and three inches wider. It totally boasts of being cumbersome with an added inch of ground clearance and about three inches of added wheel base. A nineteen inch alloy wheel will also come on both Limited and Sport gas and hybrid models.
The dimension of the vehicle can be summarized below:
Overall Length: 188.4
Overall Width: 75.2
Overall Height: 69.3
Wheelbase: 109.8
Ground Clearance: Gas 8.1 / Hybrid 7.3
Seating Capacity: 5 or 7 passengers
Wheels: 17- or 19-inch wheels
The Newest in Vehicle Telematics
Looking at the outside of the Highlander is just a preview of why this car is in every motorist's wishlist. What makes a immense difference is the interior which is not just designed to near perfection but, jam-packed with the latest in vehicle telematics as well. Dimension is something this car has as one can see from its spacious and open passenger compartment. The seating arrangement is also very flexible. The second row seats feature captain's chairs with arm rests that can be turned in to a bench seat for three passengers when needed. A secreted compartment in the front seat keeps a Center Stow seat that can seat extra when in use. The second row seats also slide about 4.7 inches back and front and can recline. The third row seats boasts of foldable head rests for a level rear cargo area that's easily open via a rear glass hatch.
Apart from the base models, all other models are afforded with a stand alone back-up camera with a multi- information screen, yet untied to a navigation system. Optional items also include power backdoor controlled with a key fob, a navigation system with an eight inch screen and a rear seat entertainment system with nine inch screens. Three- zone air conditioning is provided in the models as well as blue tooth speakers, leather seat trims with heating systems, third row delete options, JBL audio with six-disc changer player and a class leading 5000-lbs. maximum towing capacity.
Under the Hood: Unbridled Performance and Power
Cars for most experts are made by what is under the hood. That is their heart and it is by what is under their hoods that they are set apart from each other. The Highlander on this aspect does not sacrifice anything at all.
On the outside, the vehicle is the first Toyota Division vehicle that features the new hood and fender system that is devised to crumple on impact with a pedestrian. Going inside the hood, the Highlander is a wower with its 3.5 liter V6 engine that brings 270 horsepower. Aside from this, the new Toyota Highlander will feature the manufacturer's VDIM stability system. This system puts together full time four- wheel drive with intelligence, electronic brake and throttle control, and true electronically-controlled active steering.
For the hybrids, it has an advanced Hybrid Synergy Drive that is optimized for both power and economy. Driving on the city this vehicle has a fuel economy of 31 and 27 on the highway.
Enthusiasts and would be buyers need not be impatient for this coming dream car. Aside from being the top in its class, Toyota, like usual offers the top support when it comes to their new models when it comes to aftermarket car parts and accessories. This being one of their most admired points, the Highlander will have an arrayed support of auto parts and car parts that will take the knots of doubt from even the most choosy buyer.
