If so, the choice is easy: the 2021 Toyota Highlander. Equipped with convenience features you’ll love and safety technology you can depend on, the Highlander is an easy choice.
For its latest model year, the Highlander features more aggressive styling, a unique wheel design, additional sleek exterior accents and a sportier drive. Sitting on available 20” wheels, the Highlander’s sleek body contouring, contrasted against angular LED headlights, emphasizes its unique silhouette. But its design does more than turn heads. It also delivers greater aerodynamic efficiency for enhanced vehicle stability.
There are so many ways to make the latest Highlander your own. This SUV is available in 8 exterior paint options. And better still, you’ll have 12 different interior upholstery options to choose from!

And the Highlander offers more to love than just a fresh, new aesthetic. This SUV also offers versatility, driver-focused features, ample passenger and cargo space and performance capability you’ll love.
The 2021 Highlander offers 3 rows of dynamic cargo capability. Depending on the trim you choose, the Highlander offers seating for up to 8 passengers with available 2nd-row captain’s chairs. Second-row seats also come heated on select trims.
To maximize cargo space, the Highlander offers fold-flat 2nd-row seating and 60/40 split fold-flat 3rd-row seats. So, even larger, awkward-size cargo can be stowed with ease. And loading cargo is even easier, thanks to the available hands-free power liftgate.
