2023 Toyota Highlander LE

The 2023 Highlander is Toyota's three-row family SUV, slotting between the compact RAV4 and the larger Sequoia. It competes with the Honda Pilot, Kia Telluride, and Hyundai Palisade in the crowded midsize crossover segment. The Highlander drives with a composed, planted feel, and the hybrid's seamless power delivery suits family duty well. Inside, the cabin offers comfortable seating for up to eight, with a practical layout and easy access to the third row. Standard Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 includes adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist across all trims. The LE is the entry trim, trading the XLE's premium touches for a lower starting price and a standard 8-passenger layout. Under the hood is a 2.4L I4 making 265 horsepower, paired with an automatic transmission and four-wheel drive that returns 24 mpg combined.
