In terms of design, the new 2021 Toyota Highlander body remains recognizable, but now the model’s appearance is less aggressive, and the car has become visually lighter.

At the front, the massive radiator grille has been replaced by a more modest design, reminiscent of the RAV4 V.

The brand’s emblem is located at the top of the grille, while it is framed by a chrome trim with beams extending to the headlights.

The head optics have become narrower and noticeably stretched along the front fenders, and the bonnet has become more prominent.

The very lightness in the appearance of the new Highlander is added by the sidewalls with a stylish curved stamping on the doors, as well as a rising window sill line, a spoiler-visor over the trunk lid and taillights extending far into the wings. The lanterns themselves, as before, are horizontally oriented, but from now on they are also made narrower.

The 2021 Toyota Highlander predecessor has only three shades: Midnight Black Metallic, Celestial Silver Metallic and optional ($ 395) Blizzard Pearl.

The other five colors are all new: Magnetic Gray Metallic, Moon Dust Blue, Ruby Flare Pearl Red, Blueprint Blue and Opulent Amber Brown.

The interior of the crossover by default has three rows of seats for eight people (the second and third rows are three-seater), although the top-end configurations have separate captain’s chairs on the second row, but if desired, customers can replace them with a one-piece sofa (the range of longitudinal movement of the second row is increased by 30 mm).

The manufacturer has worked to improve sound insulation and increase the level of finishing materials.

At the same time, the architecture of the front panel in the new Toyota Highlander 2021 model remains the same.

The car has a different steering wheel, a redesigned instrument panel, although it is made in a classic style, as well as a high-positioned multimedia system screen.

The vertical ventilation deflectors were replaced by horizontal ones, but the shelves above the dashboard and under the glovebox were retained.
