The fuel tank cap release button for the Highlander is located near the driver's left knee area, next to the engine hood release button. Here are some details about the Highlander: 1. The Highlander is positioned as a mid-size SUV, often referred to as the 'King of SUVs' in its class, primarily due to its durability and stability. It comes in two seating configurations: a five-seater and a seven-seater version. 2. Exterior-wise: The new Highlander features minor adjustments to the front fascia, with more streamlined headlight designs that include new LED daytime running lights. Additionally, the front grille and bumper have been redesigned to give the vehicle a more commanding presence. At the rear, the new model adopts full LED light-bar taillights for a more contemporary look, complemented by a new compact roof spoiler that enhances its sporty appeal. 3. Interior-wise: The interior design of the new Highlander remains largely unchanged, but it now features stylish blue ambient lighting. A ceiling-mounted LCD screen has been added for second-row passengers. In terms of features, the new Highlander comes equipped with lane departure warning, pedestrian pre-collision system, automatic high beams, and dynamic radar cruise control. Higher trim levels also include a 360-degree panoramic camera system, offering more comprehensive features than the current model. 4. Powertrain: The new Highlander is powered by a 2.0T turbocharged engine, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. It delivers a maximum power output of 162KW and a peak torque of 350N.M.
Last time I drove my bestie's Highlander to refuel, I also spent ages looking for the switch! Later, I realized there's no need to find a switch at all. After unlocking the car doors, just walk to the fuel tank cover and press the right side of the metal cover with an arrow—it pops open by itself. On my 2022 model, it's located above the right rear wheel, and remember the car must be in the unlocked state. The gas station attendant also reminded me that forcing it open while locked could damage the clips. There's a small arrow in the lower right corner of the dashboard indicating the fuel tank direction.
