The Toyota Highlander is a midsize sport utility vehicle that was first introduced for the 2001 model year. Unlike the truck-based 4Runner,which is designed for rugged off-road use,the unibody seven-passenger Highlander offers a softer,car-like ride. Now in its second-generation and last redesigned for the 2008 model year,the Highlander receives a facelift,several new features,and a new Sport trim level for 2011

The Highlander is offered in five trim levels: Highlander,SE,Limited,Hybrid,and Hybrid Limited. Base models arrive with standard cloth upholstery,air conditioning,rear privacy glass,split-folding seats in the second and third row,17-inch alloy wheels,and more. The SE model adds leather upholstery,power driver seat,power tailgate,dual-zone climate control,auto-dimming rearview mirror,back-up camera,and other standard features. The range-topping Limited model is equipped with upgraded leather upholstery,tri-zone climate control,keyless entry/ignition,power driver and passenger seat,and other luxury appointments. Major options include a towing package,upgraded JBL audio system,navigation system,and DVD-based entertainment package for the rear seats

The Highlander is offered with three engine choices. The standard power plant is a 2.7-liter,four-cylinder engine rated at 187 horsepower. It is mated to a standard six-speed automatic transmission. A larger 3.5-liter,six-cylinder engine rated at 270 horsepower is optional. The V6 is offered only with a five-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard,with all-wheel drive optional on six-cylinder models. The Hybrid features a 3.5-liter,six-cylinder engine that is combined with a pair of electric motors for total system output of 280 horsepower. On the Hybrid model,a continuously-variable automatic transmission (CVT) is standard,as is an all-wheel drive. The EPA rates the fuel economy of the 2011 Toyota Highlander between 17 mpg city and 28 mpg highway,depending on powertrain combination

The 2011 Toyota Highlander starts with a base price of about $28,500 and tops out with the Hybrid Limited,which starts around $44,000

Initial Quality: Taken from the Initial Quality Study (IQS), which looks at owner-reported problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership, this score is based on problems that have caused a complete breakdown or malfunction, or where controls or features may work as designed, but are difficult to use or understand.

Predicted Reliability: Derived from historical trending for a vehicle and/or manufacturer in our Initial Quality and Vehicle Dependability Studies, Predicted Reliability is a forecast of how reliable a newer vehicle might be over time.

Overall Dependability: Taken from the Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS), which looks at owner-reported problems in the first 3 years of new-vehicle ownership, this score is based on problems that have caused a complete breakdown or malfunction of any component, feature, or item (i.e., components that stop working or trim pieces that break or come loose).
