According to some sources Toyota is planning to introduce a new model 2016 Toyota Highlander in the SUV range, and the release of this prototype is planned in the next two years. We can certainly expect this model to be a step up from the previous models, with newer technology, better engine line, futuristic design and overall better performance.

2016 Toyota Highlander Price and Release Date

These pieces of information are still being kept a secret, save for the leak that this newest model is expected to get released in the beginning of 2016, probably at some of the bigger auto shows. There are some rumours that the price of 2016 Toyota Highlander will start at $38,000 which is still a reasonable sum compared to the characteristics of this model.

Exterior

Judging by some spy shots which were found, the newest addition to the production line of this company, 2016 Toyota Highlander, will get a substantial facelift. New design of headlights, more aggressive-looking and lifted front fascia, new back structure, elegantly reshaped wings and overall body design will definitely make people on the street turn around to take another look at this mid-size SUV when you pass them by. Aerodynamics will also see significant improvements over the previous model, making it quicker and easier to go 0 to 60 as a start. Also, it will sport 18-inch alloy wheels with an option of selecting 19-inch alloy wheels.

Interior

Some of the additions planned for the interior of the 2016 Toyota Highlander are redesigned cabin with more space, comfort and luxury, heated second row of seats, heated steering wheel, 6.1-inch touch-screen interface, Bluetooth and more. Safety is also one of the highlights of this new model, with rear cross traffics, Anti-lock Braking System, Automatic Cruise Control, Blind Spot Monitoring, Pre-collision system and those are just the traits which were announced for now, with more to follow.

Engine of 2016 Toyota Highlander

Engine characteristics and options have been announced, though we can still see them change, almost certainly for the better. There are two options announced, the first one being a 2.7L 4-cylinder engine, and the second one a 3.5L V6 engine. For both of these options, there will be a selection of a 6-speed automatic transmission which will enable it to develop a bit more power than expected. Also, the 2016 Toyota Highlander will switch to an all-wheel drive system as opposed to the previous model.
