The Toyota Highlander is all new for the 2020 model year, with sporty new styling and a ton of both safety and convenience technology built in. The hybrid model returns, with Toyota now claiming that the Highlander Hybrid has the best fuel economy in its class. Toyota has also been trying to standardize much of their safety tech across their entire range, with the Highlander benefitting from that change as Toyota's Safety Sense 2.0 comes on all Highlanders sold in 2020. In addition, Android Auto is now standard on the vehicle.

The Toyota Highlander is a three-row, mid-sized crossover SUV competing with vehicles such as the Honda Pilot, the Nissan Pathfinder and the Mazda CX-9. The Toyota Highlander is slightly more expensive than many of its rivals, but in return it offers a bit more comfort and the kind of legendary reliability that Toyota built its reputation on. The Highlander also offers a combination of both power and fuel economy that its rivals can't match, with more horsepower than the Honda, Nissan or Mazda while bettering all of them in fuel economy while driving on the highway.
