Specs, explained
It runs the 2.4L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Combined fuel use is 10.7 L/100 km: about 32 litres for 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $49.77 in energy at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,050 a year for 15,000 miles.
Inside and out
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.
Rent it for a week first
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A week with the Highlander answers more than any brochure. Drive the Highlander on your commute before you commit to it.
Money matters
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $165.90 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Choosing the right one
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
One more step
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
Rent it for a week before you buy
