Technology

Connected Services

Connected Services by Toyota provides the best technology to keep you and your passengers safe and connected. The LE has Audio Plus, with Safety Connect and SiriusXM satellite radio. The XLE and XSE step it all up with Remote and Service Connect.

12.3-inch Touchscreen Display

The Platinum trim of the Highlander features one of the biggest screen sizes available in the segment. How does a 12.3-inch display in your vehicle sound? Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? This large size allows for even easier operation, and provides a larger view screen for drivers and passengers.

Apple CarPlay & Android Auto

Apple or Android, no matter the phone you have, you’ll be able to easily connect it to the Highlander to mirror your choice apps and enjoy your smartphone functionality on the display screen in your vehicle.

Performance

Engine Power

An available 3.5L 295 horsepower V6 engine combines to deliver the best of both worlds with top tier performance and efficiency. Dual Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence works with the 8-speed automatic transmission to provide an incredibly responsive drive that is smart on fuel.

Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD

This Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD system is a first for Toyota and ready for you to take full advantage of. It works by sending 50% of torque to the rear wheels and then to the wheel that requires the most power to hold up over rough terrain and unruly weather. When that extra work isn’t needed, that power goes to the front wheels to maintain that excellent fuel efficiency.

Multi Terrain Select

Driving a Highlander means there’s good reason to believe you’ll be attacking a variety of road conditions and environments. Available Multi-Terrain Select features four modes of Mud & Sand, Rock & Dirt, Snow and Normal to meet the traction requirements at hand.

Safety

Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+

Drive the 2023 Highlander and know that it’s the first Toyota in Canada to feature the new Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+ system. New additions include intersection awareness support, curve speed navigation and emergency steering assist. Other features include:

  • Pre-Collision System (with Pedestrian Detection & Bicycle Detection)
  • Lane Departure Alert (with Steering Assist)
  • Lane Tracing Assist
  • Automatic High Beams
  • Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (with Curve Speed Management)
  • Left Turn Intersection Support

8 Airbags

As advanced as the Highlander is in new technology-focused safety systems, the traditional airbag system has been heavily focused on as well. The 2023 Highlander’s airbags are dual  stage for the driver/passenger, driver knee, passenger seat and side curtain airbags cover all three rows for superior safety.

Rear Cross Traffic Braking

Rear Cross Traffic Braking is a crucial part of reversing. This system will let you know of any vehicles approaching when backing up and will even initiate the brakes if it thinks a collision may occur.

What’s New on the 2023 Toyota Highlander?

The gas version of the Highlander doesn’t see any major changes for the 2023 year, as the still recent 2023 model SUV saw a full-scale redesign. On the hybrid side of things, the new Bronze Edition presents a unique take on this dynamic SUV, with unique detailing and design accents.
