Toyota's popular family crossover gets updated with more muscular styling outside and higher quality interior inside. When the 2014 Toyota Highlander goes on sale in early January, it'll start at $30,075, including destination. That's only $195 more than the outgoing model.
The third-generation of Toyota's crossover now seats eight passengers and will be available in LE, LE Plus, XLE, Limited and Limited platinum trims — each will offer front- or all-wheel drive. On all but the LE model, power comes from a 270-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 and new six-speed automatic. Base LEs use a 185-hp, 2.7-liter four-cylinder. All-wheel-drive hybrid models use a 3.5-liter V-6 hybrid with a continuously variable transmission.
The 2014 version is a few inches longer and wider for increased interior space. Newly standard features include a backup camera, hill start assist, Bluetooth with voice control, Toyota's Entune multimedia system and a 6.1-inch touch-screen. Options include an 8-inch touch-screen and Toyota Entune with its app suite, leather seating, heated and ventilated seats, heated steering wheel, panoramic roof, upgraded JBL stereo and rear-seat entertainment system.
The Highlander also receives new safety options like rear-parking sonar, blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, rear cross-traffic alert and a precollision system. Here's the trim-level breakdown and how prices compare to the 2013 version; all prices include an $860 destination fee.
