What is the length of the Highlander?

The length of the Highlander is 4890mm, the width is 1925mm, and the height is 1720mm. Taking the 2021 Highlander as an example, it is a mid-size SUV with a wheelbase of 2790mm, a fuel tank capacity of 72.5 liters, and a curb weight of 1935kg. The 2021 Highlander features a MacPherson strut front suspension and an E-type multi-link rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 220ps, a maximum torque of 350Nm, and a maximum power of 162kW, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

I previously drove the fifth-generation Highlander, and the actual vehicle does appear quite large. Official data shows the new model is nearly 5 meters long (4965mm). When parked in my 5.2-meter parking space, there's only about a palm's width of clearance on either side. The length advantage translates to ample second-row legroom (enough to cross your legs) and a trunk that can fit a stroller plus luggage. However, extra caution is needed for blind spots when passing on narrow roads – installing a 360-degree camera is highly recommended.

Recently helped a friend choose a car and carefully measured the Highlander, with its body length right at the threshold of 4965mm. Compared to the same-class Ideal L7's 5050mm, it's shorter, but significantly longer than the old model's 4855mm. In practical use, even with the third row enabled, the trunk can still fit a 28-inch suitcase vertically. A small detail: the front overhang is designed 15mm shorter, resulting in a turning radius smaller than some 4.8-meter MPVs.

At the 4S dealership, we measured the current model's dimensions with a laser rangefinder: from the license plate frame to the end of the rear window, it's exactly 4.96 meters. For urban driving, be mindful of standard parking spaces with 5.2-meter markings—parallel parking might require a couple more maneuvers. Interestingly, the hybrid version is 10mm shorter than the gasoline version (due to battery layout), though the difference is completely imperceptible to the naked eye.

Parking lot test experience: When the Highlander's front is 30cm away from the wall, the rear will extend half a meter beyond the standard parking space line (total length 4965mm). It is recommended to install front and rear radars to avoid scratches. Note for the 7-seater version: When fully loaded, the 2850mm wheelbase layout positions the rear wheels right under the second-row seats, making vibrations more noticeable on bumpy roads.
