A carry-over from 2006, the Highlander is a four-door-five-passenger mid-size SUV crossover, offering a car-like feel with the utility of a sport utility. Available in base and Limited trim with the option of third row seating extending to seven-passenger capability. The 2.4Liter inline four-cylinder that produces 155HP is the standard engine, optional 3.0Liter V6 that puts out 220HP, which is standard on the Limited four-wheel-drive model. Both trim levels are offered with either two or four-wheel-drive.
2007 model year changes
The Toyota Highlander gains for 2007 what the Highlander Hybrid already had: front seat-mounted side air bags and two row curtain side air bags, complete with a rollover sensor. The 2007 Highlander also gets redesigned headlights.
Competitive comparison
Possibly the best SUV going; reliable; nicely sized; available hybrid.
Special features for 2007
Besides being one of the most reliable vehicles on the market, the 2007 Toyota Highlander also excels in packaging efficiency. Although it is only a nimble 184.6 inches long, it offers 39.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row of seating. Another 80.6 cubic feet is available with the second row folded down. The highlander is quite flexible, with an available third row of seating, three engine choices (including a hybrid), and both front- and rear-wheel drive.
