2022 Toyota Highlander: Redesign, Hybrid, and Pictures. The all-new Highlander launched this year seem to receive positive responses from car enthusiasts. The strikingly bold design that include wraparound taillights and headlights, powerful wheel arches, and a rising character line successfully grabbed people’s attention. Therefore, it’s expected that 2022 Toyota Highlander will have at least similar design, of course with a sportier and more custom-looking design.
The Safety Features
What about its safety features? Because Toyota always puts safety on top priority, you don’t need to worry about that. As we know, the current model has received good ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). IIHS itself is known as one of the most reputable organization that conduct crash tests. Hopefully Toyota can maintain the safety standard and rating for the 2020 model.
At least the 2020 model will have automatic emergency braking that can detect pedestrian crossing in front, active lance control, automated high-beam headlights, adaptive cruise control, and lane-departure alerts as the standard safety features.
2022 Toyota Highlander Hybrid
Similar to the current models, the future Highlander still use the 2.7-liter hybrid engine with three-tube that produces 185 horsepower and 184 pound-foot of torque. This sort of capable SUV includes 6-quickness auto transmission. What’s more, Toyota adds 3.5-liter V6 as additional energy which makes this car more reliable and more fuel-efficient. It possibly could make 295 horsepower and 263 pound-foot of torque. Toyota is known for its smooth and quite ride and the engine ensures that passengers of the car will have comfortable ride.
2022 Toyota Highlander Redesign
There are two words best describe the interior of the Highlander Hybrid; a sophisticated and simplicity. The 2020 model features a blocky steering wheel center, neat and well-organized center stack, and wide dash-top touchscreen. It is expected that this interior design will remain the same in the 2022 Highlander. Of course, it will be some new features available.
Other desirable features that the future Toyota Highlander mush have are cloth upholstery, a number of USB ports, an 8-inch (hopefully larger) touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration, and automatic climate control. As the future generation will employ more advanced technologies, perhaps the 2022 Highlander will allow users to add more premium features such as leather upholstery, a JBL audio system, and more, at least for the higher trim option.
What about the exterior? So far, Toyota always produces larger SUVs than the predecessors. That is why the 2022 models will also come with a sleeker yet slightly larger body than the outgoing models. Definitely it will feature a refreshed styling.
Pricing and Release Date
The release date for 2022 Toyota Highlander is still unknown. It’s highly likely that the car will be officially released in summer next year. Because the previous year’s models were also launched in summer, this prediction occurs. The estimated price will be around $39,000 to $52,000, close to the current model. This car is worth to buy if you want to experience powerful base engine. It is really a great value in the hybrid mid-crossover market.
