2022 Toyota Highlander Model Review - Omaha, NE

The 2022 Toyota Highlander

As Toyota's lineup has grown larger, so have the vehicles in it. We've watched Toyota's success with SUVs for years because they hit these other markets as no other automaker could do before or since. The 2022 Toyota Highlander is a mid-size SUV with seating for up to 5 . Let's discuss some of its special features.

1. Engine and performance

The 2022 Toyota Highlander employs a 3.7-liter V6 engine which produces 305 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque. This engine must be paired with 8-speed automatic transmission. This output is good to provide the Highlander with decent acceleration and towing capabilities, and there are no numbers released on either yet because this is a future model. Also, fueling economy is still unknown but should meet Toyota's overall goal of improved mpg by 2026. It has trims with a boxier look and features a roof rack.

2. Interior and exterior design

This Highlander features a sporty look that distinguishes it from the rest of its class and has very efficient aerodynamics. The Highlander features a spacious cabin. Two rows of bucket seats that can seat up to 5 passengers are great for even longer-distance trips, common in this class of vehicles. It has innovative technology that helps manage the cabin's acoustics and the air conditioner's compressor design. Driving itself and local climate control is available. Its exterior design is boxy and looks like it will tow a small boat.

3. Safety/Features

The 2022 Toyota Highlander comes standard with rear parking sensors, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and front active park assist. This model also comes with a proximity sensor which can be set to activate when the vehicle is in reverse. These sensors are great for helping assist with driving while keeping your eyes on the road ahead of you.
