The Highlander has a length of 4890mm, a width of 1925mm, and a height of 1720mm, with a wheelbase of 2790mm. The Highlander is a mid-size SUV under Toyota and a benchmark model in its class. The manufacturer requires the use of unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 95 or higher. The Highlander is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine across all models, delivering 220 horsepower and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. The engine reaches its maximum power at 5200 to 5600 rpm and its peak torque at 1800 to 4000 rpm. The Highlander comes with comprehensive safety features, including a total of seven airbags, which is a high configuration level among its peers. These include a driver's knee airbag and side curtain airbags for all three rows of seats.
As someone who frequently takes family road trips, I recall the Highlander is about 5 meters long, nearly 2 meters wide, and around 1.75 meters tall. This size design provides super spacious interiors—kids can move freely in the back row, and loading luggage into the trunk is effortless. However, parking in the city can be tricky since the wide and long body often doesn’t fit standard parking spots, so you’ll need to find larger spaces. I’d recommend opting for a rearview camera or automatic parking assist. Naturally, the larger size means slightly higher fuel consumption, averaging around 10+ liters per 100 km, but the improved safety and comfort are worth it—the body feels stable on highways with minimal bumps. I remember when I first drove this car, the interior layout felt very user-friendly, with flexible seat adjustments perfect for long drives.
I'm quite obsessed with cars and often look up model specifications. The Highlander typically has dimensions around 4966mm in length, 1930mm in width, and 1750mm in height - these proportions strike a balance between space and stability. The width allows for a more spacious cabin aisle, making long drives less cramped. The lower height improves the center of gravity, enhancing stability during turns, and the optimized aerodynamics indirectly save some fuel. Larger dimensions do affect parking difficulty, especially in narrow alleys of old town areas where you have to inch forward slowly. But overall, Toyota's design has always been reliable, with dimensions remaining largely unchanged over the years, demonstrating high reliability - a plus when buying used cars. On highway long-distance drives, the solid feel brought by these dimensions is very comfortable.
