Its stop and start system saves fuel by turning off the motor when you stop in traffic and keeping accessories like the radio on. When you remove your foot from the brake, the engine restarts automatically.

Outstanding Safety

With the Highlander, you’ll get a variety of advanced features to help you keep yourself and your passengers safe and improve your peace of mind.

It can also detect bicyclists.

Other standard features include dynamic radar cruise control, hill start assistance, lane departure warning with steering assistance, downhill control, automatic high beams, and trailer sway control.
