The 2021 Highlander's length, width, and height dimensions are 4965mm/1930mm/1750mm, which are official data. The length of the 2021 Highlander refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the vehicle. The width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle. The height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the vehicle's supporting plane. The Highlander is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with the model code 8AR-FTS. This engine has a maximum power of 162 kW and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. The engine's maximum power output is achieved at 5200 to 5600 rpm, and its maximum torque is available from 1800 to 4000 rpm. This engine features VVT-iW technology and hybrid injection technology, and it uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission (6AT). The 6AT transmission offers relatively better reliability and stability, and its gear-shifting smoothness is also commendable. The state has relevant regulations regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard "GB1589-89," the total width of a vehicle does not include the side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. In other words, the significance of vehicle width data in the national standard is to ensure enough space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, the national standard stipulates that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5 meters to meet the requirements of public road usage.

I've been driving the Highlander to and from work for quite a while now, and its size is quite practical for me. It's about 4.96 meters long, 1.93 meters wide, and 1.75 meters tall. You have to be careful with the width when parking, especially on narrow city roads, but the space is super spacious—the trunk can fit several suitcases. I think this size is considered medium among SUVs. It's not as nimble as smaller cars, but it handles turns without feeling clumsy. On the highway, it feels very stable due to its balanced proportions and low wind resistance. For daily commuting, the slightly larger size translates to more safety—the body is sturdy and resists scratches, and the open visibility reduces blind spots, helping me navigate rush hour with ease. Once you get used to it, it doesn’t feel troublesome at all; in fact, I’ve come to enjoy that sense of stability.

I noticed that the Highlander's dimensions are quite noteworthy, measuring 4.96 meters in length, 1.93 meters in width, and 1.75 meters in height. From a design perspective, the width aids airflow to reduce wind resistance, making it noticeably more fuel-efficient at highway speeds; the height ensures good driving visibility without increasing the risk of rollover. Having researched many vehicles, I can say it's slightly larger than compact SUVs but excels in space optimization, offering agile handling with minimal body roll—something I personally experienced with its exceptional stability during turns. Toyota has incorporated new materials in the chassis, keeping the weight in check despite the larger size, making it easy to maneuver. Combined with its spacious seating layout, it remains comfortable even on long drives.

I use the Highlander for family trips, and its size fits our needs perfectly. It's 4.96 meters long, 1.93 meters wide, and 1.75 meters tall. The spacious back row allows older kids to move around freely, and there's no problem fitting a stroller plus luggage. The moderate height makes getting in and out easy, even for elderly passengers. The roomy interior prevents any sense of crowding, and the smooth ride with minimal bumps provides excellent comfort—something I particularly appreciate during weekend getaways. The vehicle's dimensions also enhance safety, offering good protection and cushioning for passengers in case of minor collisions.

I compared the dimensions of several SUVs, and the Highlander stands out in the midsize segment with a length of 4.96 meters, width of 1.93 meters, and height of 1.75 meters. It's about 20 cm longer than the Honda CR-V, offering superior interior space; the width advantage ensures comfortable seating for three, while the similar height guarantees ample headroom. Compared to Toyota's own RAV4, the Highlander is noticeably larger but not difficult to park, thanks to its reasonable turning radius. I find this size quite suitable for Chinese cities—neither too big nor too small, balancing daily commutes and family trips, with decent fuel efficiency due to its clever aerodynamic design. After getting used to it, I feel it's a golden ratio choice.

Is It Necessary to Add a Sunroof When Buying a Car?

Whether it is necessary to add a sunroof when buying a car requires the owner to weigh the pros and cons and make a reasonable choice based on their needs. A car sunroof is not a mandatory configuration, and owners can choose flexibly. A car sunroof has both advantages and disadvantages, so it is important for the owner to consider carefully when purchasing. Car sunroofs are prone to leaking, and the roof of a car with a sunroof is generally lower than that of a car without one, with higher maintenance costs. Of course, a car sunroof also has benefits, such as making the interior appear more spacious and providing better lighting. When there is a significant temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car, condensation can form on the windows, and a sunroof can assist in defogging. Additionally, a sunroof can help with ventilation, keeping the air inside the car fresh. Therefore, whether to add a sunroof is a decision that requires the owner to weigh the pros and cons.

What Are the Key Points for Parking on a Slope?

Parking on a slope requires attention to the following key points: Control the speed: When parking on a slope, the speed should be slightly faster before ascending to give the car a bit of momentum, otherwise it may not make it up the slope. Once the rear wheels are on the slope, immediately reduce the speed to allow the car to move slowly. Choose reference points: To maintain an appropriate distance between the car body and the right boundary line during parking, it is essential to know the position of the right front wheel. Since the driver cannot see the right front wheel from inside the car, a reference point on the car must be used. Coordinate movements: When starting on a slope, the clutch, accelerator pedal, and parking brake lever must be coordinated. The timing of releasing the parking brake lever is crucial: releasing it too late will prevent the car from starting and the engine may stall; releasing it too early will cause the car to roll backward.

What are the simplest methods to determine a 30 cm margin?

There are three commonly used methods to determine if the distance is within 30 cm: 1. Align the front one-third of the car with the right-side line and proceed forward: Generally, the car is divided into three equal parts, and the right one-third of the front is aligned with the right-side line to proceed forward. When first practicing driving, learners often struggle to find this one-third point. Some instructors may advise using the "coach car" text on the hood, aligning the word "coach" with the side line visually. 2. Align the highest point of the wiper with the right-side line and proceed forward: Observe the wiper and align its highest point with the side line to proceed forward. Another less commonly used but easy-to-find reference point is aligning the gap in the wiper with the side line. This method can also be used for stopping within 30 cm in the driving test's roadside parking exercise. 3. Align the right-side reinforcement rib with the side line and proceed forward: Aligning the right-side reinforcement rib with the side line is also a frequently used method.

What Causes a Car Breakdown?

Vehicle breakdowns are related to the battery, fuel pump, and transmission. Below is an introduction to common causes of car breakdowns: 1. Brake failure: When driving downhill for long distances over mountains, many drivers tend to keep pressing the brake pedal. Prolonged friction between the brake shoes and brake pads (or drums) generates high temperatures, leading to brake failure. Therefore, when descending long slopes, drivers should shift to a lower gear to slow the vehicle down instead of relying on the brakes for extended periods. If brake failure is detected, immediately downshift while simultaneously using the handbrake to stop the vehicle, allowing the brake shoes and pads (or drums) to cool naturally before continuing. 2. Getting stuck in mud: If reversing fails to free the vehicle from a mud pit, avoid accelerating forcefully as this will only cause deeper sinking. The best solution is to use a tow rope with another vehicle to pull it out. If no assistance is available or terrain conditions are unfavorable, use a jack to lift the vehicle and place rocks in the mud pit for traction.
