2014 Toyota Highlander, BCAS Edition

What’s happening here? Is Toyota finally getting some style all of a sudden? The 2014 Highlander, shown here in Sanjeev Brown (my new name for Brown, in honor of all the misspellings of our dear Sajeev’s name that come across TTAC’s inbox) actually looks macho and handsome. The 2.7L 4-cylinder and 3.5L V6 are standard Toyota fare, though a new 6-speed automatic is a welcome update. All the usual active safety features, from lane departure warning to cross traffic alert to a blind spot monitoring system, are standards.

    We have them here, but we call them Kluegers. Work has one and the fuel economy is very poor. A one way 350km drive and they use nearly a tank of fuel. It has more than enough power with the V6. They are uncomfortable and noiser than my old 2004 Kia Sorento. Actually, talking of Sorento's, just change the grill and it would look nearly like a Sorento. I hope this one is an improvement as I consider this is a poor offering by Toyota.

    I'd haul the family in it. It doesn't offend which these days makes it OK I guess.

      That's what the Highlander is for, to haul your family around without any drama.
