In terms of appearance, the new Highlander style has changed greatly, and the family face is more aggressive. The polygonal black middle net on the front face replaces the original trapezoidal grille. The honeycomb-shaped details are matched with smoked blackening, which is full of momentum. When driving at night, the unique LED headlights are highly recognisable, and their narrow and sharp outlines are completely different from the previous "naive" image. The front of the car is lower as a whole, the visual centre of gravity is pressed down, and the sense of movement is prominent, faintly revealing the charm of Lexus, but maintaining Highlander's unique restraint.
Although the interior layout continues the old model, the material used has been greatly improved. The soft bag area of the centre console has increased, the leather stitching is fine, and the door panel is covered with "leather", which is comfortable to the touch. The 14-inch suspended central control screen is matched with a new UI interface, and the response speed is very fast. Voice control, vehicle networking, OTA upgrade and other functions are all available. The sense of technology is not inferior to the ideal L7. The air outlet of the air conditioner is widened and integrated with the centre console, and the 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard makes the driver clear at a glance.
The power system is the top priority of the new Highlander. The maximum power of the 2.4T engine is 282 horsepower, far higher than the old 2.0T engine. With an 8AT gearbox, the gear shift is smooth and the power response is direct. The hybrid version is even more amazing. The 2.4T+motor combination, with a maximum comprehensive power of 350 horsepower, supported by E-Four electric four-wheel drive, it only takes 7 seconds to accelerate from zero to 100, but the fuel consumption is as low as 6.2L/100km, which can be regarded as a benchmark among models of the same class. Compared with the Ruijie L hybrid, it is more fuel-efficient and more powerful than the Volkswagen Touareg 2.5T, and the reliability of the Toyota hybrid is well-known.
Space has always been the strength of Highlander. This time, the body has been lengthened to 5 metres, and the wheelbase is nearly 3 metres. The actual seating space has been greatly improved, and the third row of adults is no longer cramped. The trunk capacity is considerable, and the eight-seat layout is flexible and changeable, which is very suitable for families with many children. The seat filling is softer, the main and co-drivers support ventilation and heating, and the rear exhaust air outlet + independent control, which significantly improves the comfort.
