Toyota's Highlander is the quintessential crossover, blending the virtues of the Camry platform with the versatility of a midsize SUV. The recently redesigned model now offers seating for up to eight in three rows of seating.
A more angular exterior, retuned exhaust, an in-dash shelf, Drive Easy Speak and a split tailgate.
Highlander is equipped with two engines: An inline 2.7-liter four-cylinder producing 185 horsepower and a 3.5-liter V6 that makes 270 horsepower. Front-wheel drive is standard, but buyers of V6 models can opt for all-wheel drive. The Highlander is also available with a hybrid powertrain.

Unless you need all-wheel drive, it's an unnecessary expense. Our choice is a front-wheel drive XLE—it gives buyers lots of extras at the mid-point in Highlander pricing.
