As far as three row family vehicles go, the 2017 Toyota Highlander receives high praise. Not only does its interior boast plenty of room for a growing family, it’s also small enough to maneuver wherever it needs to go.
What’s more, most trim levels come standard with a powerful V6 engine, capable of quick acceleration and good fuel mileage. The 2017 Highlander owners also benefit from the new standard Safety Sense package (which includes autonomous braking).
