The 2025 Toyota Highlander is expected to build on its reputation for reliability, comfort, and versatility, with several enhancements that align with modern needs. The exterior design likely features a more streamlined and bold aesthetic, with updated LED lighting and a refined front grille to give it a more dynamic presence on the road.
Under the hood, the 2025 Highlander may offer a choice between a fuel-efficient hybrid powertrain and a powerful V6 engine, both optimized for better performance and lower emissions. The hybrid model could see improvements in fuel economy, making it an even more attractive option for families and eco-conscious drivers.
Inside, the 2025 Highlander is expected to offer advanced technology features, including a larger infotainment screen with enhanced connectivity options, such as wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The interior materials might be upgraded, offering a more premium feel, with available options like leather seating and a panoramic sunroof.
