Toyota Highlander Summary

The 2008 Toyota Highlander is all-new. It offers more room and more power than the 2001-07 models without giving up any fuel economy. Highlander Hybrid models offer excellent fuel economy, particularly in the stop-and-go traffic of major metros, along with extremely low emissions. Add in Toyota's reputation for reliability and resale value, and the 2008 Highlander is a wise choice for active families.
