2019 Toyota Highlander Interior

Interior Features

The Toyota Highlander serves up a highly spacious cabin. Slide inside, and you’ll find three rows and seating for up to eight people. Choose the comfortable second-row captain’s chairs, and you’ll have room for seven riders.

Sometimes, you need to pack your ride with people. Other times, you have a lot of gear. Often, though, it’s a mix of both, and the 60/40 split-folding third row lets you tailor cabin space to your specific needs. You can have anywhere from nearly 14 cubic feet of space to nearly 84 cubic feet of space for your cargo.

What’s more, the available panoramic moonroof makes the cabin feel larger than ever. Slide it open and let the sun shine into your ride!

Technology for Your Entertainment

When the whole family’s packed into your Toyota Highlander, long drives call for entertainment that really captures your attention. That’s the why this SUV offers an available Entune™ Audio system. It includes an 8-inch touchscreen and the Entune™ App Suite, so you can access your favorite music apps.

For passengers in the second and third rows of the Toyota Highlander, the available Blu-ray™ entertainment system is an excellent treat. Complete with a 9-inch display that folds into the cabin ceiling and two wireless headphones, kids (and adults!) can stay occupied on even the longest journeys.

Optional SiriusXM® Satellite Radio offers access to over 150 channels of commercial-free entertainment. Find your favorite music, sports, talk, and comedy shows and while away your time behind the wheel!

All-Star Performance Specifications

The 2019 Toyota Highlander offers two powertrains. The base trim runs on a 2.7L 4-cylinder engine paired to a 6-speed automatic transmission, a combination that serves up 185 horsepower. For daily driving, that’s more than enough, but all other trim levels offer more power.

The available 3.5L V6 engine mates to a smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission and cranks out 295 horsepower. With that kind of muscle, you can accelerate quickly from a stop or overtake slower traffic with ease.

The V6-equipped Highlander can also tow up to 5,000 pounds. You can hitch up a small boat or trailer and turn this SUV into a reliable weekend warrior!
