What's New For the 2020 Toyota Highlander?

The 2020 Highlander was a lovingly crafted SUV by Toyota. It's a fact that shows up in the details. From its chiseled, muscular stance to its 20" alloy wheels, Toyota took its mission to redesign the Highlander to be more upscale and powerful, seriously. Now customers are about to benefit from the fruits of that labor. Available in 5 distinct trims, the Highlander is more prominent, bolder, and more carefully designed than ever before. It now boasts power liftgate options, premium audio system options, and a larger 12.3" touchscreen available on higher trims or optionally on lower trims. It's a multimedia bonanza, with upgraded technology features that many won't soon forget.

Which Features are Available for 2020?

A base model L has all the essential features that you'll enjoy. The 8" touchscreen is vibrant and easily within arm's reach of the driver and passenger, comfortably situated to give you access to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto features. The big surprise was that higher trims would feature a massive 12.3" touchscreen, almost unheard of on a model of this price. This is something you might be pleased to find in even a luxury sedan. The LE and XLE throw in even more upgraded features, including a beautiful Power tilt and slide moon-roof with roof rails.

Drivers who choose the Limited or Platinum trims, will be in for a considerable number of upscale features. Features, such as ambient interior lighting, keeps things entertaining and soothing inside the Highlander. It's available on both of the highest trims. 20" alloy wheels make the Limited look more aggressive, more SUV. Embossed & perforated leather seating makes for a luxurious ride in the Platinum, but it gets even better when you enjoy the practical convenience of rain-sensing windshield wipers. Through rain, sleet, or shine, your Highlander is going to power you forward with grace and style.
