For more than 20 years, many have turned to the Toyota Highlander when looking for a reliable midsize SUV with plenty of space. It excels in key areas that matter to families, including safety. Due to the vehicle's great resale value and fuel efficiency, owning a Highlander becomes more affordable.
Toyota has made a few minor tweaks to the Highlander for the 2025 model year. The athletic XSE model now has a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a display for starting Sport Mode. Heavy Metal and Cement are two new paint options. The automaker offers five trim levels for the Highlander: LE, XLE, XSE, Limited, and Platinum.

The Highlander LE can carry up to eight passengers with its second-row bench seat. Meanwhile, seating capacity is reduced to seven when you choose two captain's chairs instead of the bench seats on the XLE and Limited trims. The seven-seat option is also exclusive to the XSE and Platinum grades.
The space in the first two rows is quite generous. In the front row, passengers benefit from 42 inches of legroom, while those in the second row have 38.7 inches. The third row has 28 inches of legroom, making it ideal for children.
While fabric upholstery is standard on LE trim levels, genuine leather and Toyota's SofTex synthetic leather are available as upgrades. The driver's seat is also electronically adjustable and comes standard on all trims. Higher trims include a 10-inch head-up display (HUD), heated and ventilated front seats, and a digital rearview mirror. Save from the XLE, every trim level comes standard with second-row sunshades.
The Toyota Highlander offers 48.4 cubic feet of storage space when the rear seats are used. This space expands to 84.3 cubic feet when the second and third rows are folded down. Strollers, sporting equipment, and shopping bags can easily fit in this space.
The Highlander's eye-catching style is impossible to overlook. It strikes the perfect balance between appearing powerful and looking sophisticated. Underneath its one-of-a-kind rear bumper, the XSE trim stands out with its twin-tip exhaust. The Highlander's already athletic and nimble profile gets even more impressive with the addition of chrome highlights.
The dynamic front of the Highlander reflects a modern look. While the basic LED headlights offer clear and brilliant illumination, the optional auto-leveling LED projector-beam headlamps assist in directing light lower onto the road for enhanced visibility.
The 20-inch alloy wheels provide an extra touch of style to the Highlander. They are standard on the XSE, Limited, and Platinum trims and available as an optional upgrade for the other models.
Below are some of the available colors for the 2025 Toyota Highlander:
The 2025 Toyota Highlander features a turbocharged 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine. This engine is powerful, with 265 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. A smooth-shifting eight-speed automated transmission sends power to the wheels. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is an option. Models with all-wheel drive may tow up to 5,000 pounds.
The Highlander has never strayed from its original purpose: to provide families with a reliable and pleasant experience on the road. It does this admirably by gliding gracefully over different types of roads. Meanwhile, the sport-tuned suspension in the XSE trim level provides extra stiffness for drivers who like a firmer ride. Better traction in all weather is another benefit of the all-wheel drive technology. A Dynamic Torque Vectoring system is available on higher trim levels, enhancing responsiveness and stability.
