The Toyota Highlander made its first appearance at the New York International Auto Show in April 2000 as a mid-size SUV that developers have substantially improved since its inception. Toyota launched the Highlander for market release in North America and Japan during early 2001 by developing this SUV to excel in comfort-based road driving instead of the sporty 4Runner model. This SUV incorporates a 3.5-liter V6 2GR-FE engine which combines power and fuel efficiency and functions with a five-speed automatic transmission that enables precise gear transitions during driving. The Toyota Highlander Hybrid introduced as a new variant introduced electric motors to enhance overall acceleration especially on high-speed roads. The vehicle achieves smooth ride quality through its independent rear suspension system and the Electronic Power Steering (EPS) features added to vehicles in 2010 improves handling dynamics. The Toyota Highlander delivers multi-purpose seating arrangements that include seating for seven passengers and added third-row seating available since its introduction in 2003.
