The basics
Some of the basic features of the 2023 Toyota Highlander include a 2.4L 4-cylinder turbo engine, up to 5000-lb towing capacity, up to an EPA estimated 22/29 city/highway mpg, a 12.3-inch multimedia touchscreen infotainment system, front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive option, and heated and ventilated front seats available.

Exterior design
At the first look at the exterior, you will notice the bold and curved design that exudes power and balance.

The 20-inch alloy wheels add a dash of sophistication without compromising on its performance. Finally, the LED headlights give it a sharp look, and the hands-free power rear liftgate makes it super easy to use with your hands full.

Interior design and features
The interiors are just as dreamy as the exteriors. Notice the 12.3-inch fully digital gauge cluster, which is the information touchscreen you need for all your alerts about the car and engine. It is comfortably placed, so you don’t have to take your eyes away from the road to take a glance for an update. It also comes with a panoramic moonroof with a power tilt or slide moonroof button that allows you to open the roof completely or with a power-retractable sunshade. Thanks to the Qi wireless charging, you can conveniently forget the phone charger at home and just place your smartphone on the shelf under the touchscreen and get your phone to 100% charge. The heated and ventilated front seats are a great way to keep the passengers warm, and the two-tone XSE interior gives a sporty look.

Technology
Regarding technology, Toyota has installed a 12.3-inch Audio Multimedia Display, which is super easy to use and browse. You can check for GPS navigation, calls, or messages and also go through your playlist of music or podcast. What’s best is that it is voice-controlled, so you do not need to take your hands off the wheels when browsing. It also comes with Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which can connect your smartphone to the touch screen and make everything accessible on the screen. The Wi-Fi connectivity is vital in the car with a 4G hotspot, and it can connect up to 5 devices, and there are also 5 USB ports in case of charge depletion.

The car also comes with a 3-month trial of a SiriusXM Platinum entertainment subscription which has 425 channels that can be enjoyed ad-free. You can find music, movies, tv shows, podcasts, news, comedy, and much more on this entertainment system. The JBL audio system available in the car makes it a phenomenal experience to hear music and movies.

Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+
This software boasts a bunch of features that help keep the driver and passenger safe in the car thanks to the many alert systems like:

• Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
  This feature alerts the driver if there is a pedestrian or a cyclist in the collision range of the car. If the driver is unable to respond, there is an emergency braking system that overtakes the driving mode.
• Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
  This feature is especially useful on highways. The car is designed to keep a preset distance from the vehicle in front of you. This can be useful on highways because the speed limit is much higher than in the city, hence may need more attention.
• Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
  This feature helps keep the driver in the right lane while driving, especially when the speed is more than 32 mph.

Other features include Lane Tracing Assist, Road Sign Assist, and Automatic High Beams. Speak to the nearest dealership to understand all the other features of this one-of-a-kind car. They might also have a Toyota Highlander Hybrid variant priced at about $40,220. Make sure you compare prices from multiple dealerships and invest in the car that meets your personal or professional needs. Also, remember to look into offers and bargains from auto dealers and get the best deal possible.
