Toyota Highlander takes its place at the pinnacle of Toyota’s electrified SUV line-up.
The largest hybrid-electric (HEV) SUV from Toyota features a spacious interior with a three-row, seven-seat configuration, proving that large vehicles can also be eco-friendly.
Available exclusively with a hybrid-electric powertrain, the new vehicle offers exceptional fuel efficiency of 20 kilometres per litre. The Intelligent AWD model is available exclusively with an HEV powertrain.
The Highlander has advanced safety features that provide greater peace of mind for drivers and their passengers.
Toyota has combined its leadership in HEV development and extensive experience in the SUV market with its legendary Quality, Durability, and Reliability (QDR) to create the new Toyota Highlander HEV. The innovative vehicle builds on a legacy of more than 23 years at the forefront ofeco-friendly technology, 15-million satisfied HEV customers, and the most extensive HEV line-up in the region.
By continually striving to push the boundaries of environmental technologies, Toyota aims to establish new precedents that will lead the world to a cleaner and greener tomorrow. This allows Toyota customers to experience the pleasure of cars that are eco-friendly and fun to drive, while protecting the environment for future generations.
The new Highlander combines all the familiar Toyota SUV attributes of comfort, drivability and safety with low emissions, greater fuel-efficiency and Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD).
The 2020 Highlander’s sophisticated body is based on the brand-new Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA-K) vehicle platform. This robust foundation is complemented by a lightweight high-rigidity body shell with a low centre of gravity, which provides the SUV with exceptionally nimble handling and comfortable highway cruising characteristics.
The new Highlander’s thrilling drive personality is brought to life by a new electrified hybrid system that combines two power sources. The vehicle’s 2.5-litre Atkinson-cycle petrol engine comes with a combined power of 240 HP. They are capable of delivering a maximum torque of 231 NM. The system is mated to a direct-shift Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), which contributes to a minimum fuel consumption value of 20 km/L in the model equipped with Intelligent AWD while delivering enhanced driving pleasure. Drivers can also select from ECO, NORMAL and SPORT driving modes to suit their driving styles.
Its hybrid-electric batteries are continuously charged by either the petrol engine or when decelerating and braking, eliminating the need to plug in a power cord. Furthermore, the HEV features a host of advanced technologies, yet drives like any conventional vehicle and does not require special fuel.
A sculpted shape with chiselled lines gives the 2020 Highlander a powerful personality, yet it exudes a modern, sophisticated attitude that makes it ideal for family-friendly adventures. The SUV’s wide, stable stance is expressed through a two-stage trapezoidal upper and lower grille, which is accented with chrome trim for a premium look.
The solid, rear-sloping cabin structure and upward-flowing rear flare contribute to a dynamic feel. At the back of the vehicle, the all-new Highlander’s width is emphasized through the distinctive shape that extends from the inside of the rear combination lamp toward the bumper corner. Meanwhile, the panoramic roof’s large glass opening enhances the sense of openness and comfort for all occupants.
Moving inside, the 2020 Highlander offers a comfortable, premium quality environment with impressive flexibility. The seven-seat vehicle’s second row of seats has a sliding range to ensure spacious third-row accommodation for two adults, together with easy access. The cabin provides plenty of storage compartments, as well as five USB charger terminals for the front and second-row seats. The all-new Highlander ensures that drivers and passengers enjoy maximum comfort and convenience throughout their journey, wherever they may be travelling to.
The car’s cabin includes a range of advanced features, including a dual-zone automatic air conditioning system with rear control panel and Smart-flow (S-FLOW) control that provides air conditioning to occupied seats only. The cluster gauge features a seven-inch colour multi-information display (MID), which is complemented by an eight-inchdisplay audio system, a large coloured heads-up display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Additional benefits for occupants include ambient illumination, a six-speaker sound system, multi-adjustable power driver seat, 60:40 split-folding second-row seats, fully flat-folding third-row seats, and smart entry and start system.
As with any other Toyota model, safety remains a top priority for the all-new Highlander that comes with an advanced safety system. This is complemented by Toyota Safety Sense, an advanced safety technology package that includes Pre-Collision System (PCS), Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) with All-Speed Range, Lane Tracing Assist (LTA), and Automatic High Beam (AHB). In addition, the car features a comprehensive array of safety features to protect its occupants, such as 8 SRS airbags, including side-curtain airbags for all three rows, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRC), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS),Brake Assist (BA), trailer-sway control, Electric Parking Brake (EPB) with brake hold function, Blind Spot Monitor (BSM), Panoramic View Monitor (PVM),Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA),Hill-start Assist Control (HAC), Tire Pressure Warning System (TPWS),driver and front passenger seatbelts with pretensioners and force limiters, and a clearance sonar featuring eight sensors located in the front and rear bumpers.
