EXECUTIVE EDITOR--AUTOWEEK.COM BOB GRITZINGER: Hefty, pricey, but also near perfect: That's what this flagship version of the Highlander seems to be. In the past, Highlanders seemed to be a little underwhelming--nice enough vehicles, for sure, utilitarian and functional, yes, but nothing too special. This one, with all of this equipment, changes that perception from the moment you settle in behind the wheel. This is one substantial vehicle, with all the bells and whistles one could ever want.
The vehicle looks more stylish than its predecessors, with sharp paint and sheetmetal and a very upscale feel to the interior. It's a good-looking, right-sized vehicle that offers a third row and a third seat between the captain chairs in the second row in case you need max people hauling capacity.
Power from the 3.5-liter V6 is strong, and while a five-speed automatic may not be state of the art, it does the job and is easily manageable via the slap shifter. The steering is a little vague and seemingly needs regular, slight corrections to stay on course, but most drivers probably won't notice. The ride is smooth and quiet, and despite what feels like quite a bit of overall weight, the body roll seems well controlled.
If you can afford to go this far on sticker for what starts as a much less expensive vehicle, the Highlander Limited gives you a lot of vehicle for the money.
NEWS EDITOR GREG MIGLIORE: I downright enjoyed my travels in this troop transporter of a truck. It's freakin' huge, but it doesn't drive like a monster. In fact, the Highlander is well-civilized in most situations. Even when striking through expressway curves at a decent rate of speed, this ute doesn't come unnerved. The roll is reasonable--even a bit better--than most in this segment. The steering pickup is light off center but offers responsive feedback farther into maneuvers; these big wheels add weight, but not overly so.
So, yes, it handles a bit better than many vehicles in class. The Highlander is also well-powered. I thought this was a V8 at first blush, as the 270 horses are channeled efficiently and there's strong push all the way to redline. The five-speed automatic is simple and efficient. Upshifts are smooth as the revs build but not in an angry fashion. Launches are energetic, and passing is no sweat.
This Highlander is also well-suited to daily driving, cushioning road imperfections, train tracks and nearly anything in its path. The suspension is impressive, and the shocks are not excessively bouncy; whack a pothole, and this Toyota hardly blanches. This is much more relaxed than some trucks, which pitch and roll with every obstacle.
The looks are spot-on, in my view. The Highlander has sleek styling and extends back. The lines have a horizontal flow, almost reminiscent of when car styling took cues from locomotives, and there are curves around the wheel wells that make for attractive accents. The greenhouse and pillars also set off the appearance well, looking sleek and swift in contrast to many top-heavy-looking vehicles in this segment. The cabin is luxuriously appointed (as it should be for $43,000), and the door panels feel soft and pleasing. The cabin is reasonably quiet with just a hint of engine din creeping in.
My only preference would be to slash some of the electronic goodies to get the price down a bit. But if you're in the market for a ship like this, you probably want to check most of the option boxes because it will likely be a long-term member of your personal fleet--and it would be a good one.

Toyota explains what names like Camry and Yaris mean
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Ever wonder where automakers get the names for their cars? You're not alone. The sitcom Seinfeld opened Episode 94 - the one where George Costanza buys a Chrysler LeBaron instead of a Volvo - with a bit about nameplates like Integra, Supra and Impreza. Toyota, clearly, is not exempt from choosing evocative but enigmatic names for its models, and now the Japanese automaker is taking us through the etymology of some of its nameplates.
Names like Supra may require no clarification, but what about Camry? That comes from the Japanese word kanmuri for Crown (which is, incidentally, the name of another Toyota sedan).
Yaris? According to the company, it's "an amalgamation of words from Greek mythology and German. In Greek mythology, 'Charis' was a symbol of beauty and elegance. Toyota swapped the 'Ch' with 'Ya' - German for 'yes' - to symbolize the perceived reaction of European markets to the car's styling."
2014 Toyota Highlander
Tue, 17 Dec 2013Midsize crossovers like the Toyota Highlander tend to play a thankless role in the life of today's modern family.
That's really too bad. With the ability to hold several hyperactive kids and tons of cargo while keeping everyone safe and comfortable in all kinds of climate conditions day in and day out, they're true heroes in the lives of hundreds of thousands of families across the country. Yet their car-apathetic owners often immediately forget about them as soon as their work is done. And nearly all midsize crossovers are thoroughly ignored by enthusiasts whose eyes begin to glaze over at first mention of the phrase "third row."
Toyota is looking to soften the blow somewhat by giving its midsize crossover, the Highlander, a big redesign for the 2014 model year. With a bold new look, updated suspension and a refreshed interior focused on comfort and convenience, Toyota aims to make the Highlander sportier to drive and more striking in appearance, because, as the marketing team explains, "families are going places and they want to get there in style."
Toyota C-HR hybrid crossover coupe concept leak ahead of Paris
Sun, 21 Sep 2014Last week, Toyota previewed an upcoming concept called the C-HR and promised it would debut at the upcoming Paris Motor Show. It didn't say much more or give us anything beyond a silhouette and the shape of the lights, but here we have the first images of the finalized form.
The C-HR envisions a hybrid crossover coupe with angular styling that looks ready to take on the Nissan Juke. It's far sportier than a RAV4, and looks closer to how we'd imagine the next-generation Scion FR-S would look like if it were riding on a jacked-up suspension - with some show car elements thrown in for good measure, like a gloating roof, radical lighting and the usual absence of door handles and usable wing mirrors.
Of course, this being a Toyota concept, it packs a hybrid powertrain, although specifications did not leak out along with the images. Overall the form looks pretty striking, if decidedly unsubtle. We'll look forward to bringing you more as the Paris show rapidly approaches.
