Coming Soon: The 2020 Toyota Highlander

The all-new fourth-generation Toyota Highlander is coming soon to Fiore Toyota. It’s been completely redesigned to be the boldest, safest, and most comfortable Highlander yet, but with the same rugged performance, quality craftsmanship, and reliability that has made this mid-size SUV a favorite for families and outdoor enthusiasts in Hollidaysburg, Altoona, Johnstown, and beyond.

What’s New with the 2020 Highlander?

The exterior of the 2020 Highlander has a more sophisticated design with chiseled lines, edgy features, and a more aerodynamic body that reduces noise and enhances stability. Sound-dampening and sound-proofing materials are used throughout the vehicle so noise doesn’t interfere with your experience inside.

The robust new vehicle platform, called Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA-K), gives it a stiffer unibody structure and enables even more comfort, safety, and capability than ever before. The high-strength steel allows tuning for the front strut and rear multi-link suspension that enhances agility and a smaller turning circle while also contributing to a smoother, quieter ride.

This new generation features more space, with an added 2.36 inches to the cargo area and 1.2 inches between the second and third-row for more legroom. Choose between 7 or 8 passenger seating in your 2020 Highlander depending on your needs. Either way, enjoy the large rear doors and versatile seat folding features for an easy climb into the back.

Also, the 2020 Highlander Hybrid has improved fuel economy by 17% over the current generation Hybrid. Efficiency at its finest.

Performance Features of the 2020 Highlander

Equip your 2020 Highlander with a powerful V6 engine or a new-generation hybrid powertrain. The Hybrid model offers Best-in-Class MPG at 34 combined MPG, while the gas version offers about 22mpg combined. Paired with a sophisticated 8-speed Automatic Transmission, this mid-size SUV is virtually unstoppable.

Need towing power? No problem. Add the available towing package to your Highlander for an impressive 5,000-lb towing capacity, then opt for the available Dynamic Torque Vectoring All-Wheel Drive with Driveline Disconnect and Multi-Terrain Select features so no adventure is too big for your vehicle.
