The car we are talking about today is the new Toyota Highlander. According to the latest market sales data analysis, the cumulative sales volume of the new Toyota Highlander in January-February 2022 was 18158 units, accounting for 12.11% of the GAC Toyota family, 0.96% of the domestic SUV market, ranking 30th in the comprehensive ranking, 3.73% of the mid-size SUV market, and ranking 10th individually.
The newly redesigned Highlander is obviously much more fashionable than the old model in appearance, as a fourth-generation version, it applies more mainstream design elements and has been upgraded in the configuration of the appearance. LED headlights are standard in 22 models, including fog lights, which use LED light sources and have the function of automatic headlights. The rib line highlighted by the lid and the silver-through front guard bar make the whole car look more powerful.
In the interior part, the new Highlander also adopts the current popular full LCD instrument plus floating central control screen design, but the entire center console looks like a fly. There is nothing too radical about the entire interior, and Toyota's conservative car-making philosophy can still be seen.
Coming to the side of the body, the A-pillar adopts a mirror blackened design to enhance the fashion sense of the outside of the car; the tires are 18 inches and 20 inches, respectively, and they are still not large on the Highlander, which is nearly 5 meters long. The side waistline is relatively rich, and the tail lights use LED light strip effect, which has a Lexus texture. In terms of appearance, the new Highlander can be described as a "rebirth" compared to the old model, and the texture has been improved.
The taillights of the new car are in the style of red and white stitching, and its rear windshield area is very small. In the middle of the rear of the new car is a shallow groove design, and the bottom of the car is surrounded by silver. We can see the word D-4ST on the rear of this road test car, revealing its identity with turbocharging. The rear of the new car also has the Limited and AWD wordmarks, indicating that it is a four-wheel drive version of the model. The road test uses a single-out exhaust
The new Highlander abandons the old 2.0T engine and instead uses its own 2.5L engine plus motor hybrid. The maximum horsepower of the engine is 192Ps, the maximum torque is 238N·m, and the total power of the four-wheel drive model motor is 174 kW, and the total torque is 391 N·m. With the blessing of the motor, the new Highlander is much better than the old model in terms of driving experience, and its performance in fuel consumption is also very gratifying, and many people are most interested in the fuel consumption of this car.
