What Goes Into 2018 Toyota Highlander Performance?

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

  • Double-Wishbone Style Multi-Link Rear Suspension

  • Power-Assisted Ventilated 12.9-Inch Front Disc Brakes
