The Toyota Highlander was introduced at the 2000 New York Auto Show and hit North American streets in 2001. As the first car-based midsize crossover of its kind, the Highlander was an instant trendsetter. The SUV is a taller, heavier version of the Toyota Camry and a counterpart to the truck-based 4Runner. For the new model year, the 2012 Toyota Highlander continues the tradition of offering consumers car-like comfort, performance and fuel economy with SUV practicality, making it an attractive option over other crossovers like the Ford Flex, Dodge Durango, Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia.
The 2012 Highlander comes in several trim levels including: the Base, SE, Limited, Base Hybrid and Limited Hybrid. Each comes in luminous colors like Sizzling Crimson Mica, Sandy Beach Metallic, Nautical Blue Metallic and Blizzard Pearl. The gasoline-only Highlander Base and SE come standard with a 2.7-liter inline-4 engine that generates 187 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque. The luxurious Limited trim gets a muscular 3.5-liter, 270-horsepower V6 that produces 248 pound-feet of torque. This engine is optional on the Base and SE. There are also terrific choices for shoppers who are searching for a "green" SUV. Both 2012 Highlander Hybrid trims come equipped with a gas-electric system that includes a 3.5-liter V6 gas engine and an advanced group of electric motors.

This unique setup is even further expanded in 4WD Highlander Hybrids, which generate rear-wheel power with a third electric motor that provides additional drive torque on demand.
