The Highlander wears it's heart on its sleeve.
You only need to give Highlander a quick once-over to realise this recreational vehicle definitely wears its heart on its sleeve. It features bold exterior details, like a chiseled front grille design, stylish 18” alloys and rugged black contrasting trim framing each flared wheel arch.
Highlander has a premium look about it, but you also instantly know the AWD version of this perfectly proportioned vehicle will get you to the motocross track, down the boat ramp and along that gravel road to the beach house every single time without fail. A trip over the Takaka Hill has never been easier!
A true all-rounder recreational vehicle needs a true all-rounder power plant. Highlander’s 3.5-litre V6, with 201kW maximum power on tap is the perfect engine for this vehicle. Highlander’s engine also features dual VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing - intelligent) technology which optimises power and fuel economy and complies with stringent Euro 5 emissions standards.
Extra safety to keep your precious cargo safe.
Count them; 7 airbags. That’s the standard number in all versions of Highlander, proving its worth as a reassuringly safe recreational vehicle with a 5 star ANCAP safety rating. This comprehensive safety suite includes front airbags for the driver and front passenger seats, along with a knee airbag for the driver. In addition, the driver and front passenger seats have side airbags, and curtain shield airbags provide side protection from the front right down to the 3rd-row seats.
A consummate performer in the popular 7-seater class, the Highlander also boasts revised ‘walk-in’ accessibility to the 3rd-row seating. Once inside, the Highlander’s 3rd-row of seats also benefit from a recline function for greater individual comfort.
