Toyota Highlander gets new V-6 engine for 2017
Toyota's popular Highlander midsize crossover, which was completely redesigned just three years ago, returned for 2017 with a "refreshed exterior"; a new, more-powerful V-6 engine option; and with the new V-6, a new eight-speed automatic transmission.
Available in either gasoline-only or hybrid versions, the 2017 Highlander starts at $30,630 (plus $995 freight) for the base front-wheel-drive gasoline model with a four-cylinder engine.
On the gasoline-only Highlander, front-wheel drive is standard, but all-wheel drive is available at all levels except the base four-cylinder model. Hybrid models come only with all-wheel drive.
