The exterior dimensions of the Highlander are: length 4890mm, width 1925mm, height 1720mm, with a wheelbase of 2790mm, a fuel tank capacity of 72.5 liters, and a curb weight of 1910kg. The body structure is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV. The Highlander is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 162kW at 5200-5600 rpm, and a maximum torque of 350Nm at 1800-4000 rpm. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I know the Highlander's body dimensions are approximately 4,965 mm in length, 1,930 mm in width, and 1,750 mm in height, which is considered mid-to-large size among SUVs. As an owner who has driven various SUVs, I quite like this design—its length is close to 5 meters, and the width, including side mirrors, is around 2 meters. This provides ample interior comfort, seating seven people without issue, and the trunk can easily accommodate a stroller or several pieces of luggage. However, parking can be a bit challenging, especially in narrow alleys of old urban areas. If the garage door isn’t wide enough, the side mirrors might scrape, so it’s best to check parking space dimensions via a mobile app before heading out. Additionally, with such a tall body, the elevated seating offers great visibility, but wind noise can be slightly noticeable, and tire noise is somewhat pronounced at highway speeds. Overall, it balances practicality and comfort well, but driving it requires extra attention to surrounding space.
Let me talk about the exterior dimensions of the Highlander. It has a length of 4.97 meters, a width of 1.93 meters, a height of 1.75 meters, and a wheelbase of approximately 2.85 meters. These proportions provide a comfortable driving feel, with stable steering that doesn't require too much effort. From a design perspective, the wide body increases the track width, enhancing grip and making turns safer. The length ensures reasonable space for the third-row seats, with ample legroom that avoids discomfort. In practical use, the larger size means you need to be more careful when parking, especially around pillars in supermarket underground garages where door edges can easily get scratched. I often recommend beginners to equip a blind-spot detection system for assistance. Additionally, compared to other vehicles like the Honda Odyssey, the Highlander is slightly taller, which increases wind resistance slightly and affects fuel economy data, but this size is well-suited for family long-distance trips.
