Toyota is increasing the power output and adding new safety features to its 2017 Highlander in a heavy mid-cycle refresh for the mid-size SUV.
The 2017 Highlander will arrive with a new 3.5L V-6 with D-4S fuel injection that's paired with a new Direct Shift 8AT 8-speed automatic transmission. The new V-6 replaces an outgoing 3.5L V-6 and increases power output by 25 horsepower to 295 hp and 263 lb.-ft. ( a gain of 15 lb.-ft.) of torque. The 8-speed replaces a 6-speed automatic transmission.
The carryover 2.7L four-cylinder remains the standard engine on the base LE model.
Fuel economy for all-wheel V-6 models improves to an EPA-estimated 20 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway compared to 18 mpg and 24 mpg on the outgoing model.
Toyota is also adding automatic stop-start to V-6 Highlander models.
The 2017 Highlander becomes a safer SUV with the addition of the Toyota Safety Sense P (TSS-P) as standard equipment. The safety package includes pedestrian detection, automatic frontal braking, steering assist, dynamic radar-based cruise control, and automatic high beams.
