Choosing a new vehicle is hard, especially if you are attached to your last car, even if it is on its last legs. However, as mechanic bills continue to come in, you may be thinking that it is time to move on. If you need a vehicle that has space, is reliable and can get your family to your destinations safely then you need to look at the 2022 Toyota Highlander.

Meet the 2022 Toyota Highlander

The Toyota Highlander is the largest SUV of the Toyota lineup. This full-size SUV comes in seven gas models: the L, the LE, the XLE, the XSE, the Bronze Edition, the Limited, and the Platinum. It also comes in four hybrid models: the Hybrid Platinum, the Hybrid Limited, the Hybrid XLE, and the Hybrid LE. These vehicles also have the option of nine exterior colors for you to select from.

Performance

The XSE model of the Highlander has an incredible sport-tuned suspension. This includes retuned shock absorbers, higher-rate springs, and a rear stabilizer bar that gives you superb handling. In addition, the Dynamic Torque Vectoring All-Wheel Drive, available on all models, improves the responsiveness and stability of your SUV by switching up to 50% of your power to the rear wheels and then disturbing that power further to the wheels that need it.

The Highlander Hybrid models get a fantastic estimated combined fuel mileage of 36mpg. This means that you can enjoy more of what nature has to offer, especially where gas stations might be few. This SUV gets an impressive 295 horsepower and 263lb-ft of torque with its 3.5L V6 engine. Additionally, the gas models can get a wonderful EPA-estimated 23mpg combined.

Drive Select

The Highlander offers three drive modes so that you can tailor your drive to precisely what you want it to be. Sport mode features sharper acceleration. Eco mode helps maximize fuel efficiency. Normal mode combines fuel economy and performance. In addition to this, you can take advantage of the Multi-Terrain Select on AWD models. You can select between mud and sand, rock and dirt, snow, and normal.

Interior

The interior of the 2022 Highlander features multiple USB ports to keep your devices charged. However, you can also utilize the available wireless charging pad in the center console. Enjoy heated and ventilated front seats to keep you warm or cool; additionally, you can opt for the available heated second-row as well.

Kids will love the available panoramic moonroof with the front power tilt/slide moon roof. Sunshines directly into the vehicle during the day, and you receive a fantastic view of the stars at night. In addition to this, with the tilt/slide front power moon roof, you can enjoy fresh air inside the vehicle with just the touch of a button.
