2007 Toyota Highlander Review
Side airbags and curtain side airbags are standard instead of optional for 2007 on all versions of this midsize car-type SUV. Highlander shares its basic design with the more-expensive RX SUV from Toyota's premium Lexus division, and like the RX, offers gas and gas/electric hybrid models. Highlander seats up to seven and comes with front-wheel drive or with all-wheel drive that lacks low-range gearing. Conventional-powertrain Highlanders come in base, Sport, and Limited models. Base models are available with a 155-hp 4-cyl engine or a 215-hp V6. Sport and Limited use the V6.
The Hybrid comes in base and Limited trims, but both team a gas V6 with an electric motor for 268 hp. Like Toyota's other hybrids, it runs on one or both of its power sources, depending on driving demands, and requires no plug-in charging. Hybrids have a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Other Highlanders have conventional automatic transmissions.
Previously standard only on Hybrids, all Highlanders now have front side airbags and curtain side airbags that cover the first two seating rows and include rollover deployment. ABS and traction/antiskid control are also standard. Options include a sunroof and DVD entertainment. A navigation system is optional on Limited and Limited Hybrid.

Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Larger than Compact SUVs, Midsize SUVs offer a mix of car- and truck-type construction, V6 and V8 power, and up to eight-passenger seating. This class also includes crossover vehicles.
Our Best Buy choice is the Honda Pilot. Our Recommended picks are the Ford Explorer, Ford Freestyle, Mazda CX-7, Nissan Murano, and Toyota Highlander.
New or significantly redesigned models include the Dodge Nitro, Ford Edge, GMC Acadia, Hyundai Santa Fe, Mazda CX-7, Mazda CX-9, Saturn Outlook, Suzuki XL-7, and Toyota FJ Cruiser.

News
The first redesigned Highlander is due for 2008. We'd look for an auto-show preview this winter before a summer '07 sales start. A platform upgrade from midsize Camry to full-size Avalon is said to put the new model close in size to the Honda Pilot and Ford Edge. That implies a roomier interior with easier 3rd-row access, but it also implies extra weight, putting a question mark on a 4-cyl version. No matter. V6s account for most Highlander sales. Recent Toyota statements suggest a possible ethanol-capable flex-fuel V6 to answer buyer concerns about SUV fuel economy, but this is strictly our guess. A new Highlander Hybrid is a sure thing, though, and it's likely to offer improved fuel-thrift at a lower price premium. All models may look somewhat more macho, but still far less butch than Toyota's truck-based midsize 4Runner SUV. Keep checking back with us for further developments.

Consumer Guide® Road Test Ratings
Acceleration
Four-cyl models are sluggish on takeoff, marginal for passing and merging even lightly loaded. Conventional V6s have good all-around power. Test AWD Limited did 8.1 sec 0-60 mph.
Hybrid among the quicker midsize SUVs; a similar test Lexus RX 400h did 7.3 sec 0-60. Responsive CVT helps, though gas-electric powertrain prone to subtle but annoying surging and bogging in cruising conditions. Maximum towing capacity is 3000 lb for 4-cyl, 3500 for V6 and Hybrid.
| AWD Base 4-cyl | AWD Limited w/nav. sys. | 2WD Limited Hybrid w/nav. sys. | AWD Limited Hybrid w/nav. sys. | Class Average |

Fuel Economy
Test AWD 4-cyl Highlanders averaged 19.6 mpg. Test AWD Limited averaged 15.1 mpg in mostly city use, including gas-eating performance runs.
Test 2WD Hybrid averaged 26.4 mpg. Test AWD Hybrids averaged 22.8-23.8 mpg in mostly highway driving. Conventional Highlanders use regular-grade fuel. Toyota recommends premium for Hybrids.

Ride Quality
Among the best in class. Highlander has firmer suspension than RX, registers more bumps, but is never jarring.

Steering/Handling/Braking
Pleasant, though not car agile. Cornering lean evident, but fine overall control abetted by standard traction/antiskid control. Highlander's AWD less capable off-road or in deep snow than true 4WD. Some testers complained of overly sensitive brake pedal in one test Hybrid.

Quietness
Four-cyl sounds coarse at full throttle. V6s always quiet, refined, but electric-motor whine noticed in Hybrid. Well-muffled road noise in any model, only moderate wind rush at highway speeds. More than expected wind rush from sunroof in one test Highlander.

Controls
Handy, smooth-working switchgear, but some labels not obvious. Shift lever sprouts from dashboard, is easy to knock into Neutral by mistake. Large, clear gauges. Hybrid replaces tachometer with a "power" meter that isn't too informative. Navigation system is fairly intuitive, but complicates some audio and climate adjustments. Hybrid's navigation screen can display power-flow and fuel-economy graphics that can be distracting. Cabin has quality materials, exemplary workmanship, but decor isn't that fancy.

Room/Comfort/Driver Seating (front)
Ample space, though available sunroof steals some head room. Seats nicely supportive, but maybe too firm for some. Driver gets elevated views with no big blind spots. Entry/exit requires modest step-up vs. higher-riding truck-type SUVs.

Ample 2nd-row space for two adults, three in a pinch. Narrow door bottoms impede entry/exit. Third-row seat cramped and hard to access for adults, but OK for preteens.

Cargo Room
Only grocery-bag space behind 3rd-row seat, but that stows quickly and without removing headrests for more room with a flat floor. The 2nd-row seat is split 60/40, also folds easily, but its seatbacks don't lie fully flat. Ample interior storage.

Value within Class
Any Highlander earns our Recommended label as a family focused SUV offering great practicality and solid quality. Versions with the conventional V6 engine best represent Highlander's attributes. The 4-cyl models are slow and noisy. Hybrids are the costliest versions, and their price premium may take years to offset in fuel savings. They are the quickest Highlanders, however.

Price note: Prices are for vehicles distributed by Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. The dealer invoice and destination charge may be higher in areas served by independent distributors.
Pricing Key: Retail prices listed with each report are set by the vehicle's
manufacturer. These figures appear on each car's federally mandated window sticker.
Most price lists also include dealer-invoice prices. Dealer-invoice prices are
what the dealer pays the manufacturer for the car and its factory-installed options.
The destination charge is not included in the suggested-retail or dealer-invoice price
and must be added to the cost of the vehicle. Car companies change prices frequently
throughout the year. If the prices published do not match those on the vehicle's
window sticker, the manufacturer has probably altered the price recently.
NA = price note available, NC = no charge.

NHTSA Crash-Test Results
| Test | Toyota Highlander 4-door wagon |
| Front Impact, Driver | 5 |
| Front Impact, Passenger | 5 |
| Rollover Resistance | 4 |
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests a vehicle's
worthiness in front- and side-impact collisions and rates its resistance to
rollovers. Front-impact crash-test numbers indicate the chance of serious injury:
5 = 10% or less; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-35%; 2 = 35-45%; 1 = More than 45%. Side-impact
crash-test numbers indicate: 5 = 5% or less; 4 = 6-10%; 3 = 11-20%; 2 = 21-25%;
1 = More than 26%. Rollover resistance numbers indicate the chance for rollover
when the vehicle leaves the roadway: 5 = Less than 10%; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-30%;
2 = 30-40%; 1 = More than 40%.
