2017 Toyota Highlander | 5 Reasons to Buy | Autotrader

Shopping for a family vehicle can be frustrating as there are so many choices on the market these days. Well the three-row Toyota Highlander can really make your shopping a lot easier. Check out these five reasons your family will more than appreciate the reliable 2017 Toyota Highlander.
Efficient V6
There is big talk about the available V6 engine choice. It delivers 295 horsepower and returns an impressive 27 miles per gallon on the highway with front-wheel drive. The base 2.5 liter four-cylinder engine returns around 24 miles hwy. When you compare those mpg numbers against one another, and the fact that the optional V6 gives you over a 100 more horsepower, we say if you upgrade anything, make it the 3.5 liter V6.
Endless Features
When you buy a Highlander you get to choose from one of six trim levels, then you go from there. Want enough room for eight passengers? How about some cool captain's chairs in the second row? There is even innovative technology like a 360-degree camera and the available Driver Easy Speak, which has a microphone up front, so you can speak to passengers in the back though the rear speakers.
Attractive Design
Family vehicles are usually made more for function than looks. The beautiful Highlander gives you both. Up front, it boasts a bold updated grille and redesigned headlights. You also get standard heated mirrors and 18-in wheels, although we had upgraded 19's. Overall, the Highlander is a pretty sharp ride, let alone a family ride.
Premium Interior
Inside you'll notice some premium touches. There is really no need to consider a luxury SUV as far as interior goes, the Highlander has it all. We are talking high-end options like tri-zone climate control, heated second row seats and a heated steering wheel. It goes on and on with the available panoramic moonroof even some cool entertainment in the back with a cool Blu-ray disc 9-in screen.
Available AWD
The confidence you get while driving with all-wheel drive (AWD) is pretty amazing. The Highlander offers an AWD option, as well as a AWD Hybrid trim level that returns 30 mpg city. Another added bonus is the smoothness and efficiency of the 8-speed transmission that the available 3.5 liter V6 delivers.
Autotrader Says
We have to say the Highlander is a rare find. It has three rows, it's extremely reliable and efficient, and it's attractive. Put your family in a 2017 Toyota Highlander. You'll be glad with the choice.

Thank you very much! Last week, I just bought my 1st Toyota, a 2018 Highlander XLE. AMAZING VEHICLE!!! It's a keeper...

Best SUV period. I have an '06 with over 153, 000 miles on the clock and it drives so smooth, all you need to do it's regular maintenance. I'll replace it with another Highlander. Sometimes I forget I'm driving an 11 year old car. I've driven newer cars and are not as comfortable and smooth as this one. The new one looks great especially with the chrome grill and led tail lights. For now, I'll keep driving my '06 and saving money!!!

You almost can't go wrong with the Highlander. It is almost everything to everyone.

I love the highlander. I have a 2008 hybrid with over 100, 000 miles on it and it still rides like it is brand new

These SUVs are pretty impressive but one thing I think any suv with captains chairs should have a removable centre seat

Not sure why this looks more like salsa red pearl rather than ooh la la rouge mica which it would have to be on this Limited Platinum. Salsa red pearl is only available on the SE. Ooh la la rouge has more burgundy in it. Weird. Care to chime in Autotrader? Just curious.

The 2.7 gets better mpg in the real world and is cheaper to service.

[danielselseleh]

The v6 does 20L/100km that is NOT GOOD we are very unhappy with this car ( for the price you pay you could get better cars like jaguar, bmw, Audi, Porsche and

The front end of this SUV is very plain. There are only horizontal lines and 2 headlights. Not impressed. 👎👎👎
