What level of car does the Highlander belong to?
2 Answers
The Highlander is a mid-size SUV produced by GAC Toyota, so strictly speaking, it belongs to the B-segment car category. Here is some relevant information: 1. In terms of body dimensions, the 2018 Highlander measures 4890*1925*1720mm in length, width, and height. In terms of power, the 2018 Highlander is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine across the lineup, delivering a maximum horsepower of 220 hp, a maximum power of 162 kW, and a maximum torque of 350 N·m. 2. Regarding fuel consumption, according to the comprehensive fuel consumption data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the 2018 Highlander has a combined fuel consumption of around 8.2L/100km. However, based on feedback from some Highlander owners, the actual fuel consumption is generally around 10L/100km.
The Highlander is Toyota's Highlander, classified as a mid-size SUV, so it's considered a medium-sized SUV. For me, driving it to pick up and drop off kids at school and taking the family out on weekends, the space arrangement feels just right—bigger than compact models like the CR-V but not as bulky as full-size SUVs. With the third-row seats folded down, there's ample cargo space for luggage or camping gear without any hassle. In terms of fuel consumption, I drive the hybrid version, which only uses about 5-6 liters per 100 km in the city, making it quite economical. The driving experience is stable, with no floating sensation on highways, and the steering is responsive. Compared to peers like the Honda Pilot or Ford Edge, the Highlander has a more refined interior, lower maintenance costs, and consistently strong resale value in the market.
