2 Answers
The differences between Highlander and Wildlander are: 1. Different engine configurations: Highlander is equipped with a 2.0t turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 162kw and a maximum torque of 350nm; Wildlander is equipped with a 2.0l naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 126kw and a maximum torque of 209nm. 2. Different positioning: Highlander is a midsize SUV; Wildlander is a compact SUV. 3. Different body sizes: Highlander has a body length, width, and height of 4890mm, 1925mm, and 1720mm respectively; Wildlander has a body length, width, and height of 4665mm, 1855mm, and 1680mm respectively.
Although both are Toyota SUVs, there are quite noticeable differences between them. Last time I accompanied a friend to the dealership to see them in person, it was immediately apparent that the Highlander is a full size larger than the Wildlander. The headroom and legroom inside are significantly more spacious. The Highlander offers a 7-seat version, and its trunk can easily accommodate strollers and suitcases, making it particularly suitable for larger families. The Wildlander, on the other hand, is more compact with a 5-seat layout, offering greater flexibility for daily commuting. In terms of performance, the Highlander's 2.5L hybrid engine provides more power from the start and offers quicker throttle response on the highway. However, the Wildlander does have a more affordable price point, with a starting price roughly 50,000 yuan lower, and it's also slightly more fuel-efficient. If the budget allows, I would recommend going for the Highlander—the solid feel and superior noise insulation are truly worth the extra cost.
