What is the 0-100 acceleration time of the Highlander?
2 Answers
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.
