Three-row midsize SUVs have emerged as a desirable alternative to the minivan for people with large families. The 2020 Toyota Highlander is an option not to miss, with its space, comfort, safety, and technology making every road trip a memorable adventure. 

Spacious and Comfortable Cabin

The 2020 Toyota Highlander can comfortably carry up to eight people. Its cabin is not only supremely spacious but also made with top quality materials that are soft to touch. It comes with a tri-zone climate control standard, so passengers in every row of seats can set the temperature as they wish. Optional features, such as a sunroof, second-row captain’s chairs, heated seats, leather upholstery, and a crisp-sounding JBL sound system, improve upon an already impressive interior. It is also very well insulated, with most wind, road, and engine noises being kept outside the cabin.

Smooth and Powerful Engine

Drivers who have experience with large vehicles know that a subpar engine makes driving very difficult and uncomfortable. Luckily, the 2020 Toyota Highlander comes with a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that’s capable of producing up to 295 horsepower and 263 pound-feet of torque. All this power is transmitted down to the wheels with the help of a smooth 8-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, while those who often venture off-road or who live in areas with occasional bad weather can opt for the all-wheel-drive version.

Infotainment Technology

Keeping up to eight people entertained on a trip can prove to be challenging, but the 2020 Toyota Highlander’s infotainment options will make the hours fly by. The standard 8-inch touch-screen interface can be upgraded to a massive 12.3-inch one, providing the driver and passengers both information and entertainment. Smartphone connectivity is a breeze, through either Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, or USB ports. Although most of the car’s functions can be accessed via the touch-screen, there are still physical buttons available for the most often-used functions, so the driver’s eyes can stay on the road at all times.

Excellent Safety Systems

Comfort and entertainment are welcome additions to any family vehicle, but the one feature that’s more important than everything else is a vehicle’s ability to keep everyone inside as safe as possible. The 2020 Toyota Camry’s active safety systems and its Safety Sense 2.0 advanced driver aids bundle work together with the driver to notice and avoid any potential danger coming from any direction. Features such as pre-collision with pedestrian detection, full-speed dynamic radar cruise control, or lane departure alert with steering assist all combine to offer a smooth and safe ride in any situation.

Choosing the right car for your family can depend on many factors, but space, comfort, power, technology, and safety will definitely make the list for most drivers. The 2020 Toyota Highlander sets high standards for all of the above and that makes it the perfect vehicle in which you can make lasting memories with your loved ones.
