PLANO,
Texas, Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In
April 2000, a new class of
cutting-edge Toyota SUV was revealed in the U.S.: the 2001
Highlander. The model was Toyota's first midsize SUV built on a
platform that was shared with a car, the Toyota Camry. The
Highlander ushered in a new era for the brand in the segment.
Thanks to its car-like handling, an elevated ride height, and the
spacious versatility consumers loved about SUV's, customers quickly
took a liking to the model, as it sold more than a million units in
its first seven years of production.
Now, two and a half decades after its debut, this trailblazing
nameplate celebrates its journey with a stunning Highlander
25th Edition model. This exclusive special edition
showcases many of the best features available in the Highlander
family. Built off the Highlander Hybrid Limited AWD grade, it
raises the bar on style with unique exterior features that include
a brand-new color for Highlander, new interior color, premium
specs, and an efficient Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV)
powertrain.
The Highlander 25th Edition's eye-catching good looks
start with a unique combination of exterior features, like
side-rockers, 20-inch wheels, and front and rear bumper with
gleaming silver accents. It is available in two colors, including
the first-ever offering of Heavy Metal for Highlander and the
lustrous Wind Chill Pearl. On the inside, leather-trimmed seating
for up to seven comes in a sophisticated Portobello color, with the
driver and front passenger headrests carrying a 25th
Edition logo for a unique look.
The Limited 25th Edition also has premium touches
like puddle lamps, illuminated door sills, carpet floor mats and
all-weather rear cargo liner, key glove, and rear liftgate badge
that all carry the 25th Edition logo. Since the model is
built on the Limited HEV grade, it also has features like a
12.3-inch color digital gauge cluster, 11-speaker JBL® Premium
audio system, 12.3-inch touchscreen with the latest Toyota Audio
Multimedia system, three zone automatic climate control, and Toyota
Safety Sense 2.5+. The 25th Edition Highlander will be
limited to 2,500 units produced for the U.S. market.
Additional Highlander lineup changes include Highlander HEV
models coming with standard Electronic On-Demand All Wheel Drive.
Highlander also adds the Heavy Metal exterior color on the HEV XLE,
Limited, Limited 25th Edition, and Platinum models, and
the 2.4L Turbo XLE, Limited, and Platinum model adds the color,
too. The XSE 2.4L model adds Cement to the color palette. Hybrid
powered models will now have a Beyond Zero HEV badge on the rear.
And for an extra bit of edge, the 2.4L Turbo XSE adopts a 12.3-inch
Digital Gauge Cluster with a Sport Mode startup screen. The 2025
Highlander lineup is expected to start arriving at U.S. Toyota
dealerships in November 2024.
Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Pricing will start at $39,520 on the LE grade FWD model excluding
Dealer Processing and Handling fee.
Time Flies in a Highlander
First revealed at the New York International Auto Show in
April 2000, the first-generation 2001
Toyota Highlander used a modified version of the same unibody
platform used on the Toyota Camry. At the time, this innovation set
it apart from other SUVs since a body-on-frame design was the norm
for trucks and SUVs. As Toyota's first step into the midsize
unibody SUV category, the Highlander had good road manners, a
spacious interior, and rugged style that was appealing to
customers. It featured a clean, practical exterior design with
seating for up to eight and a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, with
an optional 3.0-liter V6. Just after its launch, the Highlander
earned a "Best Midsize SUV" from Consumer Reports in
2002.
The Highlander Hybrid model was revealed in 2005 for the 2006
model year and was the Toyota brand's first hybrid-powered SUV and
was the second Toyota model after the Toyota Prius to offer the
highly efficient powertrain. A specially developed version of
Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive powertrain included an enhanced
3.3-liter V6 engine and produced approximately 270 peak system
horsepower. Highlander Hybrid came with front-wheel-drive standard
and offered electric four-wheel-drive with intelligence (4WD-i),
which used front and rear electric motors to deliver balanced power
to all four wheels. Highlander Hybrid also immediately earned
honors, like an "Automotive Excellence" award from Popular
Mechanics in 2006 and a "Top Pick" from Consumer Reports
in the Midsize SUV category in 2007.
The Second-Generation Highlander was introduced in 2007 and
featured a more refined exterior design, improved interior
materials, and advanced safety features like a rearview camera and
an optional navigation system. A 2.7-liter four-cylinder model for
base FWD models was also introduced in this generation. U.S.
assembly began in 2009 for U.S. and export markets at Toyota Motor
Manufacturing Indiana (TMMI) in Princeton, Indiana.
Over the years, the Highlander evolved in size and style and
took on a more refined crossover appearance. The Third-Generation
model, revealed in 2013, brought a more aggressive design and a
suite of active safety technologies and advanced driver-assistance
features including Toyota Safety Sense. The V6 engine was upgraded,
and the hybrid variant continued to gain popularity.
The current Fourth Generation model was revealed in 2019 with a
more spacious interior, an upgraded hybrid powertrain, and
accentuated body lines along the doors and fenders. A 2.4-liter
turbocharged 4-cylinder engine became the standard on gas powered
models in 2023. Since the fourth generation's debut, Highlander has
also added an available 12.3-inch audio multimedia touchscreen and
12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, standard wireless Apple CarPlay®
and Android Auto™ compatibility, and convenience and safety
features like adaptive cruise control and lane departure alert.
Since its debut, the Toyota Highlander has sold nearly 3.6
million units in the U.S. alone. Over the years, the trophy case
has grown and both Highlander and Highlander Hybrid have proudly
earned IIHS Top Safety Pick honors as recently as 2024. As the
Highlander looks to the future, it continues to stay true to its
roots, offering leading style, a well-appointed three row interior,
ample room for the crew and you, and a highly efficient drive
that's made to move.
There Can Be More Than
One
The 2025 Highlander continues to offer a variety of models with
five Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) grades and five 2.4-Liter
turbo-powered gas grades to choose from. Highlander HEV is
available in XLE, XLE Nightshade, Limited, Limited 25th
Edition, and Platinum grades. All HEV models will come with
Toyota's Electronic On-Demand AWD system, standard. The Highlander
2.4-L turbo model is available in LE, XLE, XSE, Limited, and
Platinum grades. The 2.4-L turbo LE and XLE grades are available in
a choice of FWD or eAWD, and the 2.4L turbo XSE, Limited, and
Platinum grades have Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD, standard.
There's also plenty of space in Highlander, as it seats up to
eight and has up to 84.3 cubic feet (cu. ft.) of storage with the
second and third row folded, with 48.4 cubic feet behind the second
row with the third row folded flat. The area behind the third row
provides 16.0 cu. ft. of space, enough to carry 4-6 large
suitcases. The versatile cargo area makes the most of Highlander's
additional length with side surfaces and pockets shaped for maximum
space utilization. All Highlander HEV models have up to 3,500
pounds of towing capacity and the Highlander 2.4-L turbo powered
models can tow up to 5,000 pounds.
Exterior color choices abound across the lineup for 2025.
Depending on grade, colors include Midnight Black Metallic,
Blueprint, Cypress, Magnetic Gray Metallic, Cement, and Celestial
Silver Metallic. Extra cost colors include Heavy Metal, Ruby Flare
Pearl, and Wind Chill Pearl. Interior colors also vary by grade and
exterior color. Fabric-trimmed models have the choice of graphite
or black; SofTex-trimmed models come in black, graphite, or harvest
beige; leather-trimmed models come in choices like red, black,
harvest beige, graphite, glazed caramel, and the Limited
25th Edition's exclusive portobello colored
interior.
Remarkably Hybrid
The Toyota Highlander HEV combines a high-efficiency 2.5-liter
DOHC four-cylinder engine with two electric motor-generators. The
gas engine employs Variable Valve Timing-intelligent system by
Electric motor (VVT-iE) on the intake camshaft, and VVT-i on the
exhaust camshaft. A variable cooling system (electric water pump,
electric thermostat) and a fully variable oil pump help to further
enhance engine efficiency.
The gas engine and Motor Generator 2 (MG2) work in concert to
deliver dynamic performance, while both MG1 and MG2 charge the
hybrid battery. The bottom line is a jaw dropper for the
efficient-minded: 243 net combined horsepower, a
manufacturer-estimated up to 35 combined MPG, and a towing capacity
of up to 3,500 pounds for all hybrid grades. The Highlander HEV's
battery pack was developed with convenience in mind and is
installed under the second-row seats, so it does not take away any
cargo or passenger space.
Like all Toyota hybrid vehicles, the Highlander HEV simply goes
about its business. For example, the system optimizes the level of
electric motor assistance and gas engine speed without the engine
running at high revs. Engine speed is synchronized with vehicle
speed, yielding effortless and quiet acceleration. The unique AWD
system for Highlander HEV employs a separate rear-mounted electric
motor to power the rear wheels when needed. Like the hybrid
powertrain itself, the AWD system is designed to work seamlessly,
switching on and off and sending power to the wheels as needed.
Highlander HEV offers selectable NORMAL, ECO and SPORT driving
modes that let the driver choose the vehicle's performance
personality. ECO mode extracts maximum efficiency from the fuel and
battery, while NORMAL mode is ideal for everyday driving. SPORT
mode quickens the throttle response from the hybrid system for
improved acceleration control. A bonus is the EV mode, which allows
electric-only driving at low speeds for short distances.
Regenerative braking captures the energy of the turning wheels
as the vehicle slows, sending it to the hybrid battery. To foster
greater control when driving in hilly areas, the driver can
manually control regenerative braking in steps, like the engine
braking effect of downshifting a manual transmission. Highlander
HEV Limited, Limited 25th Edition, and Platinum also
come with Predictive Efficient Drive (PED), standard. PED analyzes
the driver's daily driving habits and upcoming road and traffic
conditions to help optimize battery usage and charging. The more
the vehicle is driven, the more data is accumulated, thereby
helping to support fuel efficient driving patterns.
As part of Toyota's diverse approach to its carbon neutrality
goals, the Toyota Highlander Hybrid also plays a part in Toyota's
vision to reach a "Beyond Zero" future to reach carbon neutrality
in its products, services, and operations. As a symbol of this
commitment, the 2025 Toyota Highlander adds a Beyond Zero HEV badge
on all Highlander models with a Hybrid Electric Vehicle
powertrain.
Travel in Style in the XLE HEV
The Highlander HEV line starts with the XLE grade with
Electronic On-Demand AWD system, standard. The HEV XLE grade can
seat up to eight and includes standard features like SofTex-trimmed
front- and second-row seats with an 8-way power-adjustable driver's
seat, 7-inch color LCD Multi-Information Display (MID), in-zone
automatic climate control with air filter, 8.0-inch Toyota Audio
Multimedia touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
compatibility, five USB ports, a Smart Key System and more.
The HEV XLE is also equipped with Electronic On-Demand AWD, has
a power tilt moonroof, and a 10-way power-adjustable for the driver
feature. The XLE also has a hands-free power liftgate, Qi wireless
smartphone charger, auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink®
universal garage door opener, and second row sunshades. For extra
storage, roof rails come standard. Packages include the option to
upgrade to a 12.3-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen and
seating for up to eight with a second-row bench seat and 60/40
split fold seats.
Take it Upscale with Limited and Platinum HEV
The Highlander HEV Limited and Platinum grades pile on even more
features. Both models have standard Electronic On-Demand AWD,
leather-trimmed front- and second-row seats, with heated and
ventilated front seats and 10-way power-adjustability and memory
function for the driver's seat that includes power lumbar support
and 8-way power-adjustability for the front passenger seat.
Both grades also come standard with a 12.3-inch Toyota Audio
Multimedia touchscreen and 11-speaker JBL® Premium Audio system
that includes a subwoofer and amplifier. Additional standard
exterior touches for the Limited and Platinum hybrid grades include
20-inch wheels, power-folding heated outside mirror with turn
signal and blind spot warning indicators, puddle lights with
integrated Highlander logo, front grille in black paint with
chrome-plated surround, and more.
The HEV Platinum grade adds heated second-row captain's chairs
for even more rear passenger comfort, and a Panoramic Glass
Moonroof with sunshade and one-touch front power tilt/slide
function. The driver benefits from a Panoramic View Monitor,
10-inch color Head Up Display, and LED projector headlights with
Adaptive Front-Lighting System (AFS) auto leveling and LED-strip
Daytime Running Lights (DRL). Additional Platinum features include
rear lower bumper accent piece and scuff plate, rain-sensing
washer-linked wipers, illuminated front doorsill metal scuff
plates, and Digital rearview mirror with HomeLink® universal garage
door opener.
HEV Nightshade Style
The hallmark of the Toyota Nightshade lineup is bold style with
blacked-out touches. It's an expressive, stylish look that's
available on 10 models – including the 2025 Toyota Highlander HEV
Nightshade. Built on the XLE HEV grade, the Highlander HEV
Nightshade is available in Cement, Wind Chill Pearl, Midnight Black
Metallic, or Ruby Flare Pearl exterior colors. Whichever color
customers choose, they will find it sitting on black-painted
18-inch five-spoke wheels and because every detail matters, the
bold style also extends to black grille trim, mirror caps, door
handles, rear badging, rear spoiler, and shark fin antenna, all
topped off with black roof rails. Electronic On-Demand AWD is also
standard.
On the inside, the Highlander HEV Nightshade model has black
two-toned SofTex®-trimmed seats with unique embossed fabric inserts
and silver-colored accent stitching. It comes with standard heated
seats for the driver and front passenger, and a 10-way
power-adjustable driver's seat, an 8-way power adjustable passenger
seat, and captain's chairs for second row passengers. The
SofTex-trimmed fold-flat third-row seats have sliding headrests and
recline function. For added convenience, it also has a hands-free
power liftgate, standard.
For entertainment, the HEV Nightshade comes with an 8-inch
touchscreen with the latest Toyota Audio Multimedia system with
wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility standard,
with the option to upgrade to a 12.3-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia
touchscreen. The HEV Nightshade comes with a power tilt moonroof,
hands-free power liftgate, Qi wireless smartphone charger,
auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink® universal garage door
opener, and second row sunshades, standard.
2.4-Liters of Turbocharged Efficiency
For customers looking for an efficient-yet-powerful option, the
Highlander's 265-horsepower 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder
models with 310 lb.-ft of torque are the answer. Equipped with a
standard Stop and Start Engine system that allows the engine to
shut off when the vehicle comes to a complete stop and instantly
restarts when the driver's foot lifts from the brake pedal. This
feature is one way the Highlander has up to a 22 city/29 highway/25
combined manufacturer estimated rating. It's an economical choice
that's ready to take on the next highway merge.
The engine is paired to a direct shift 8-speed Electronically
Controlled Automatic Transmission (AT) with selectable drive modes
that include Eco, Normal, Sport, and Snow modes. The 2.4L Turbo
equipped models are available in a choice of Front- or
All-Wheel-Drive. AWD equipped models come with Multi-Terrain Select
(MTS), allowing drivers to select Mud & Sand or Rock & Dirt
modes for those times when outdoor adventure calls. AWD equipped
Highlander turbo models are equipped to tow up to 5,000-pounds and
include Trailer Sway Control (TSC), which uses the Vehicle
Stability Control (VSC) to help control unwanted trailer
movement.
The Highlander LE and XLE turbo-powered gas models have a
mechanical AWD system that can send up to 50% of available torque
to the rear wheels to help counter wheel slip when necessary. The
Highlander XSE, Limited, and Platinum turbo-powered gas models step
up to a performance-minded Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD system with
Drive Mode Select. In addition to governing torque distribution
between the front and rear wheels, this advanced system uses
special couplings to actively manage torque distribution between
the left and right rear wheels.
Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD doesn't simply react to wheel
slippage. Rather, a sophisticated AWD Integrated Management (AIM)
system manages Electric Power Steering (EPS), throttle control,
transmission shift control and drive torque distribution to
continually help optimize handling. Using the Multi-Terrain Select
control dial on the console, the driver can maximize traction for
prevailing conditions. Mud & Sand mode works well for beach
driving, while Rock & Dirt mode optimizes AWD traction for
trails. The driver can monitor, in real time, torque allocation and
slip control on the Multi-Information Display (MID).
AWD equipped gas-powered models also come with Downhill Assist
Control (DAC). When AWD is not needed, such as in steady highway
cruising, Rear Driveline Disconnect automatically disengages drive
to the rear wheels and stops the propeller shaft's rotation,
helping to reduce fuel consumption. The system seamlessly
re-engages when AWD is needed to handle road conditions.
Take a Turbo Tour
The turbo-powered Highlander LE comes with fabric-trimmed
seating for eight and a second-row bench seat. Drivers get an 8-way
power adjustable seat and for added storing and convenience the
second-row bench seats have 60/40 split, sliding, and reclining
functionality. An 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen with
six speakers comes standard, along with a 7-inch color LCD
Multi-Information Display (MID), five total USB ports, Push Button
Start, Smart Key, and several Connected Service trials*.
The XLE includes all LE grade features and adds a power tilt
moonroof, SofTex-trimmed heated driver and passenger seats, and a
10-way power-adjustable seat for the driver. It has standard
seating for seven, with seating for eight optional with the
addition of second row bench seat. The XLE also has a hands-free
power liftgate, Qi wireless smartphone charger, auto-dimming
rearview mirror with HomeLink universal garage door opener, and
second row sunshades. For extra storage, roof rails come standard.
Packages include the option to upgrade to a 12.3-inch Toyota Audio
Multimedia touchscreen and seating for up to eight with a
second-row bench seat and 60/40 split fold seats.
The Highlander XSE turbo comes equipped with Dynamic Torque
Vectoring AWD and rolls on all-black 20-inch wheels, wrapped in
235/55R20 all-season tires. A specially tuned suspension with
high-rate springs, rear stabilizer bar, and low-friction shock
absorbers works in concert with tuned electric power steering to
give the XSE a distinctly sporty feel. XSE-exclusive styling
applies to the front fascia, grille, lower spoiler and headlamps.
Unique rocker panels add an edgy accent to the Highlander XSE's
sculpted lines. Black roof rails, mirror caps and window moldings
dial up the subtle cool factor, finished off by a twin exhaust
tip.
Inside, the Highlander XSE cradles passengers in black
SofTex-trimmed seats with fabric inserts, while ambient lighting
and carbon-fiber style finish on the instrument panel adds a sporty
vibe. A striking two-tone red and black leather-trimmed interior
with red-stitched instrument panel is also available. To emphasize
its sport-inspired style, the XSE grade's 12.3-inch full color
digital gauge cluster and drive mode will default to Sport Mode for
2025. The 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen with
six-speaker sound system comes standard, with an option to upgrade
to a 12.3-inch touchscreen and 11-speaker JBL Premium Audio system
with subwoofer and amplifier. It also has a hands-free power
liftgate.
The Highlander Limited and Platinum grades have premium features
like 20-inch alloy wheels, leather-trimmed seating that's heated
and ventilated for driver and front passenger, height adjustable
hands-free power liftgate, 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and
12.3-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen and 11-speaker JBL
Premium sound system. High end details like wood door and
ornamental dash trim, high output LED fog lights, and puddle lights
with integrated Highlander logo also come standard. The Platinum
grade adds even more features including power Panoramic Glass
Moonroof with sunshade and front power tilt/slide function, an
eight-way power adjustable front passenger seat, Digital rearview
mirror with HomeLink® universal garage door opener, 10-inch color
Head Up Display, rain-sensing wipers and panoramic view monitor,
just to name a few.
The Highlander 2.4-L turbo models exterior colors vary by grade
and come in a choice of Midnight Black Metallic, Celestial Silver
Metallic, Magnetic Gray Metallic, Cypress, Blueprint, and Cement.
Heavy Metal, Ruby Flare Pearl, and Wind Chill Pearl are also
available as extra cost colors.
