What's New For the 2020 Toyota Highlander?

As one of the most successful vehicles on the road, the Toyota Highlander has a solid track record in the industry due to its performance and reliability. The SUV is a popular choice among consumers and continues to become more advanced with each generation that is released. The 2020 Highlander is more spacious and has increased in length by 2.4 inches, which benefits the cargo area. The car is also wider to accommodate the comfort of passengers in the cabin. Drivers can also choose between two powertrain options that are available.

The technology in the car has been updated and now supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Drivers can also choose to upgrade to an optional 12.3-inch touchscreen, which features impressive graphics and is user-friendly.

The exterior has been redesigned to appear sharper and more intimidating. The vehicle now features elongated headlamps that extend up the car, along with blacked-out features that allow the windows to appear connected to one another. The rear of the vehicle is also edgy with tail lamps that look futuristic due to their thin, horizontal shape.

Which Features are Available for 2020?

Standard features in the 2020 Highlander include an eight-inch infotainment touchscreen, three USB ports in the front, a digital rearview mirror, two USB ports in the second row, optional comfort features, and heated second-row seats. Navigation, optional wireless phone charging, and Waze and Amazon Alexa functionality are also available features.

How does the Toyota Highlander Engine Balance Power Needs and Fuel Economy?

Two different powertrain options are now available with the 2020 Highlander, which allows consumers to choose between a 3.5-liter V-6 engine with 295 hp and 263 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic that is also included in the 2019 model. A hybrid powertrain can also be selected, which pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with an electric motor. 240 horsepower is generated from the engine.

The vehicle has a smoother ride due and glides on rough roads. It also handles well and has sharp steering, which makes it easy to drive without feeling like you're handling a large SUV. The car also maneuvers well in tight spaces and doesn't require too much strength with handling the steering wheel with its turning radius.

Affordable and Packed with Safety Features Galore

Toyota continues to make safety a top priority with the new Highlander and offers advanced driver-assist and safety features. Drivers can utilize blind-spot monitoring, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control with steering assist, and rear cross-traffic alert. Extra add-ons include a surround-view camera system, which comes standard on higher trims. Automatic high beams, centering assist, and road sign detection are also available safety features that can improve driver confidence while sitting behind the wheel.
