Toyota Highlander
The Highlander has a fresh face for 2017. The 295-horsepower V6 still displaces 3.5 litres, but it's nonetheless a new mill featuring direct injection and Atkinson cycle technology, just like the hybrid version, which offers a combined 306 horsepower. The hybrid still has its continuously variable transmission, but the gas-powered versions have a new eight-speed automatic. A new SE trim level makes its debut, and safety equipment has been added.
