The Highlander has a body length of 4890mm, a width of 1925mm, and a height of 1720mm and 1715mm, with a wheelbase of 2790mm. Compared to the previous model, the length has increased by 35mm, and the front grille design has become more aggressive. Below is additional information about the Highlander: 1. Basic Information: It has a fuel tank capacity of 72.5 liters and a curb weight of 1910 kg. It is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV under GAC Toyota. 2. Engine: The Highlander is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 162 kW at 5200 to 5600 rpm and a maximum torque of 350 N·m. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The drivetrain is front-wheel drive, with a front suspension using a MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear suspension featuring an E-type multi-link independent suspension.
As a frequent driver of the Highlander, I can tell you its length is approximately 4965mm, which is close to 5 meters. This size can indeed be a bit challenging when parking in the city, especially since standard parking spaces are just over 5 meters. You'll need to leave extra space to park at an angle or find a more spacious spot. However, the advantage of a long body is the ample space it provides. For example, when I go grocery shopping every week, the trunk can hold a pile of boxes without feeling cramped. The engineers optimized the interior space during the design phase, and with the third-row seats folded down, the floor is completely flat, making it easy to fit all the belongings for family trips, including my two kids' stuff. The downside might be slightly higher fuel consumption and increased wind resistance, but overall, the driving experience is stable, especially on highways. In summary, the Highlander's length is medium to large among SUVs, offering strong daily practicality, but beginners might want to practice their parking skills first. I recommend choosing the configuration based on your needs, as there aren't significant differences between model years. I drive the 2023 model, and the actual measurements are very accurate.
