Faster Fuel Efficiency
Few engines get faster and more fuel efficient at the same time. Toyota has managed it with the new V-6 with Direct Shift Automatic transmission. Horsepower rises by 25 to 295. Torque rises by 15 to 263 lb.-ft. The new eight-speed automatic adds two more gears for better ratios. Fuel economy jumps by three to 27 mpg highway. A stop-start system lets you choose to save fuel at redlights. Even the hybrid edition picks up more horsepower.
Smarter Safety
With eight airbags, you can bet the Highlander is all about taking care of your family. Going beyond protection, however, it is now offering a lane departure alert, a steering assist, pedestrian detection, forward collision warning and automatic pre-collision braking. All of these standards definitely position it at the head of its class in terms of prevention. These systems employ camera and millimeter-wave radar to assist the driver. Ready to go as fast or slow as the traffic allows, radar cruise control helps ease the stress of the parent in the driver’s seat. The special high beam feature automatically reduces or increase the light level to match road light conditions.
Schedule a test drive and check all of the good things it has to offer your family. You’ll find it at McKinnon Toyota dealer serving Montgomery AL.
