If you’re set on getting behind the wheel of the Toyota Highlander, you’ll want to consider its various trim levels with what they offer and how they differ.
Our team at Group 1 Toyota West Bank is here to help you review the 2021 Toyota Highlander trim levels. This guide will cover all the Highlander trims, starting with the base, so you can get a sense of the one that’s right for you and your adventures on the road!
The L is the base trim and is pretty much the canvas on which the other trims build. It comes with a 3.5L V6 engine able to boast 295 horsepower and 263 lb-ft of torque. The cabin includes Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and Amazon Alexa compatibility.
In terms of convenience, the L trim incudes the Smart Key System with Push Button Start and Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5+. This suite of driver-assisting technologies includes Pre-Collision System with Low-Light Pedestrian Detection, Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, and more!
The Highlander LE builds upon the base by adding a few notable features, like LED fog lights and the height-adjustable power liftgate with jam protection. The Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert provides additional driver assistance to make sure the coast is clear when you change lanes.
This trim also comes available as a hybrid version. The 2.5L 4-cylinder engine boasts 186 horsepower. With the combined effort of the electric motor, it can generate 243 net horsepower.
The XLE trim continues to add doses of style and technology to the Highlander. It comes with Qi-compatible wireless charging for your devices. To improve the style, it adds a power tilt/slide moonroof with sunshade. The interior includes SofTex®-trimmed front- and second-row seats. This synthetic leather offers a mix of both style and comfort.
The XSE Highlander trim adds a lot to the exterior style. It includes 20-inch machined-face alloy wheels and a twin-tip exhaust. The interior features heated front seats and unique SofTex®-trimmed or leather-trimmed front- and second-row seats.
The Limited continues to evolve the Highlander by incorporating more convenience amenities. It features a hands-free power liftgate with jam protection. The interior carries over the leather-trimmed seats but also adds 11 JBL® speakers including subwoofer and amplifier.
This trim is for the premium tech lovers. It includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen display to access your media options and features from the road. This vehicle also features the Power Panoramic View Moonroof with sunshade. It also adds the Bird’s Eye View Camera with dynamic gridlines to provide a better view of your surroundings.
