Sport-tuned suspension improves the overall performance of the 2021 Toyota Highlander. The multi-terrain select feature is available on the all-wheel-drive system and offers four special drive modes: Normal, Mud & Sand, Rock & Dirt, and Snow. With one of the available hybrid options, drivers can enjoy the functionality of the Highlander as well as an efficient drive. Features like the hands-free power liftgate also make the design of the Toyota Highlander a practical one.

Toyota Highlander drivers can customize the interior of their vehicles to meet their individual needs.

Either way, you're sure to enjoy the premium materials that go into its design. The heated, ventilated seats ensure that you and your passengers can settle in and enjoy the comfortable ride. Third-row seating gives you even more space to bring along the entire family or all your friends!
