When shopping for a family SUV, some of the most essential factors are space and efficiency. You want to make sure you have room for all the kids—and a few of their friends too. That’s why the Highlander comes with seating for up to eight passengers.

Plus, you’ll have ample room for all the gear you need to bring along. Check out how much space you’ll have behind each row:

• 84.3 cubic feet behind first row: Plenty of space for large rugs or home renovation supplies.
• 48.4 cubic feet behind second row: All the room you need for your kids’ after-school sport equipment.
• 16 cubic feet behind third row:You’ll have space for backpacks, large grocery hauls, or school projects.

With flexible passenger and cargo space, the sky is the limit for your family adventures.

There are several comfortable interior materials you can try out to see which best suits you. Woven cloth seats come standard; however, available SofTex®-trimmed seats are sure to help you and your passengers feel right at home.

However, there are also leather-trimmed seats available, which will provide a combination of luxury, comfort, and style. No matter which interior appointments you choose, you’ll be able to get comfortable and recharge when on the road.

Additionally, the available JBL® Premium Audio System comes with 11 speakers to offer a comprehensive experience that everyone—from the front row to the back seats—is sure to appreciate.

If you’re driving around with your family, you’ll want a vehicle that works as hard as you do to help keep everyone safe. That’s why the Highlander comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5+. This suite of safety technologies covers a range of features, including:

• Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
• Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
• Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
• Lane Tracing Assist
• Automatic High Beams
• Road Sign Assist

There are even more standard and available features that help look out for you. The Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert will keep an eye on those hard-to-view spots to make sure the path is clear when you’re backing up or changing lanes.

Speaking of backing up, the available Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automatic Braking provides audible and visual warnings. In certain scenarios, it can even apply the brakes to avoid making contact with another vehicle or other objects, so you can easily slide into that parallel parking spot.
