Is the Highlander imported or domestically produced?

The Highlander is a domestically produced model, a mid-size SUV launched by GAC Toyota, and it is also a representative vehicle in the Toyota family. Taking the 2020 Highlander as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4890mm, width 1925mm, height 1715mm, with a wheelbase of 2790mm and a fuel tank capacity of 72.5 liters. The 2020 Highlander features a MacPherson strut front suspension and an E-type multi-link rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 220 PS, a maximum power of 165 kW, and a maximum torque of 350 Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

I recently bought a Highlander, and during the car selection process, I made sure to confirm that it's a domestically produced vehicle by GAC Toyota, definitely not an import. As an average car owner, I'm quite satisfied with it because domestic production means avoiding hefty import taxes, making the price more affordable. Compared to those imported SUVs, the Highlander offers more reliable localized services, with faster parts supply during maintenance, eliminating delays from imported components. Toyota has been engaged in joint venture production in China for many years, so the Highlander's configurations and quality are optimized for us Chinese, offering great value for money. I believe it's essential to check official channels to confirm the domestic version before buying a car to avoid being misled.

I'm a car enthusiast and very familiar with the production history of the Highlander. It was localized by GAC Toyota over a decade ago, and now all models on the market are joint-venture produced, with the imported version long gone. The domestically produced Highlander not only controls costs but also undergoes adaptive adjustments for domestic roads and weather, making it more reliable to drive. Compared to some import-dependent models, I find this much more hassle-free, with faster service at local 4S stores. If you're concerned about details, you can check the production nameplate or consult dealers.

As a family vehicle for outings, I drive the Highlander, knowing it's a purely domestically produced GAC Toyota product. This car is very practical, with simple maintenance and repairs, and quick access to parts, avoiding the common waiting issues with imported cars. For us family users, domestic production means affordability.
