2021 Toyota Highlander
Trim Levels
The 2021 Highlander comes in L, LE, XLE, Limited, and Platinum configurations, as well as an all-new, sportier XSE model, which boasts an upgraded exterior design, including a twin-tip exhaust system and black roof rails, side mirror housings, and window trim. In addition, the Toyota Highlander Hybrid comes in four trims and eight configurations.
All Highlander models now come with LED projection headlamps as a standard feature. The L, LE, and XLE trims feature 18-inch alloy wheels, while the higher end XSE, Limited, and Platinum trims come with 20-inch alloy wheels. On top of that, the new Highlander gains a few inches in wheelbase and overall length, which translates into more cabin space and a smoother ride.
Engine
A 3.5-liter six-cylinder engine powers the 2-ton 2021 Highlander, which is available in both front- or all-wheel drive trims. Mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission, the Highlander kicks out 295 horsepower and 263 pound-feet of torque. The three lower trims feature a simple all-wheel-drive system that sends as much as 50 percent of the available power to the back end, if the front wheels lose traction.
The higher end trims come with a more sophisticated system that not only sends power to the rear wheels but also uses a mechanical torque vectoring system to split that power from side to side, as needed.
Performance
Looking for an SUV that pulls your lightweight camping trailer? When properly equipped, the family-friendly Highlander tows up to 5,000 pounds, making it the perfect choice for both commuting around town and escaping outside the city.
When it comes to reliability, the Highlander does not disappoint. Drivers can expect a smooth ride with easy handling thanks to the four-wheel independent suspension. Meanwhile, the eight-speed automatic transmission makes ramping up to higher speeds a breeze, even from a standstill.
Interior
All Highlander trims come with a standard 8-inch touch screen, but there's also the option to upgrade to an impressive 12.3-inch alternative. It's easy to stay connected even on the go with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Amazon Alexa. You also get five USB ports, satellite radio, a six-speaker stereo, Bluetooth connectivity, and a Wi-Fi hot spot. Optional features include wireless device charging, an 11-speaker JBL premium stereo, and navigation.
Safety Features
Toyota knows safety is top of mind for most drivers. That's why all 2021 Highlander trims come equipped with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, active lane control, and lane-departure warning. Upgrade to the LE or higher trim levels for blind-spot monitoring. A surround-view camera system and parking sensors are other exceptional options.
