The 2018 Toyota Highlander: Wondrous Wheels

There are numerous reasons why the 2018 Toyota Highlander should be atop any Chicagoland SUV shopper’s list. After all, we’re talking about a three-row SUV that in the last year alone has reeled in eight major awards. So what should reason #1 be? Well, how about the fact that this vehicle is perfect for families of all sizes and interests.

The 2018 Toyota Highlander is an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick (TSP) recipient, making it back-to-back years that this stunner has impressed the IIHS staff. It certainly helps that every 2018 Toyota Highlander comes standard with the Toyota Safety Sense package. That’s right: all six 2018 Toyota Highlander trims offer cutting-edge safety technology like forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane-departure intervention. You’ll be hard-pressed to find such a bevy of protective features standard on an automobile outside the luxury segment.

This SUV’s tremendous value is also proven by the fact that it doesn’t skimp on standard comfort/convenience features, or under the hood. In fact, five out of the 2018 Toyota Highlander model’s six trims are equipped with a 3.5L V6 engine that outputs 295hp and 263 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard, and all-wheel drive (AWD) is an attractive option, especially when dealing with Chicago weather conditions. On the comfort/convenience front, premium amenities are everywhere you look. Check out the entry-level 2018 Toyota Highlander LE: it comes standard with 18-inch alloy wheels, a six-speaker sound system, and five USB ports. That’s quite a haul for a “baseline” trim. Plus, this trim can option-in the V6 engine.
