2018 Toyota Highlander Performance Specs
Mated to six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, your standard engine generates up to 185 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque.
The available V6 harnesses up to 295 hp and 263 lb-ft of torque. It comes paired with Direct Shift 8-speed automatic transmission.
Dynamic Torque-Control All-Wheel Drive intelligently distributes engine power from front to rear, ensuring outstanding all-terrain traction and pin-point performance.
Even an entry-level model tows up to 1,500 lbs. Fully equipped and fitted with V6 power, you’ll haul up to 5,000 lbs.
Properly equipped with a heavy-duty radiator with engine oil cooler, supplemental transmission oil cooler, 150-amp alternator, and 200-watt fan coupling, the new Toyota Highlander tows without breaking a sweat.
With up to 295 hp and 263 lb-ft of torque on tap, you’ll pass into the fast lane, change lanes, or set off swiftly from traffic lights while still achieving up to a surprising EPA estimated 21 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. That’s partly down to sophisticated powertrain technology, but such efficiency also owes a debt to the Stop-Start Engine System. Able to appeal to the eco-conscious, the 2018 Toyota Highlander is rated as an Ultra Low Emission Vehicle II (ULEV II).
Further performance features include:
Independent MacPherson Strut Front Suspension
