2018 Highlander 4WD Supreme Edition has a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 9.33 seconds. Below is an introduction to the Highlander: 1. Configuration: Standard features across all models include LED daytime running lights, LED headlight assemblies, full LED taillight assemblies, etc. Except for the base model, all variants come standard with TSS (Toyota Safety Sense) including PCS (Pre-Collision System), DRCC (Dynamic Radar Cruise Control), LDA (Lane Departure Alert), AHB (Automatic High Beam), TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System), and frameless radar. The improvements in safety features are substantial. 2. Powertrain: The 2018 Highlander is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 162KW (220PS) and a peak torque of 350N·m. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Buyers can choose between front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive configurations.

The Highlander's 0 to 100 acceleration time is typically around 7.5 seconds. Having driven many models, I feel that the heavier weight of SUVs affects acceleration. The 3.5L V6 engine provides ample power but isn't exceptionally fast, making it safe and reliable for daily overtaking. Road conditions or having more passengers can slow it down further. It's not a speed-focused vehicle but rather suited for smooth family driving. Maintaining the engine and transmission well can make acceleration smoother. Overall, it's highly practical, so there's no need to obsess over the numbers.

When driving a rented Highlander on the highway, the 0 to 100 acceleration takes about 7 seconds. The throttle response is steady and not abrupt, making the drive easy and not tiring. SUVs are not meant to be sports cars for the track; having ample space and comfortable seating is more important. The acceleration is sufficient for overtaking without stress, and it handles well both in the city and for outings. Don't expect aggressive acceleration that could harm the car and waste fuel. Keeping up with simple maintenance will save money and hassle.

My Highlander has been used for several years, with a 0 to 100 acceleration time of 7.5 seconds. It offers spacious interiors, making it practical and safe for families. The vehicle's weight means it doesn't start off swiftly, but this avoids sudden jerks, ensuring a stable ride for kids. It's suitable for daily commutes, providing a comfortable speed without stress. Don't compare its acceleration to sedans—SUVs have a higher center of gravity and are designed for stability. Prioritizing comfort and durability, the most important thing is that the car drives comfortably.
