Toyota Highlander
The Highlander drops the V6 for 2023 and gets a turbocharged 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine instead. Output is down to 265 horsepower, but peak torque is increased to 310 lb-ft. Maximum towing capacity is still rated at 5,000 pounds. Inside, look for a brand new infotainment system on an 8-inch or 12.3-inch display. As for the hybrid variant of Toyota’s three-row crossover, nothing changes and the Bronze Edition is back for a second year.
