Review
Since its debut in 2001, the Toyota Highlander has received positive recognition from leading consumer publications, including Consumer Reports’ 2002 “Best Mid-Sized SUV”, Car and Driver’s 2001 “Best Large Sport Utility Vehicle” and J.D. Power and Associates’ “2002 Initial Quality Study award.” And, just as Toyota has done with its other, highly acclaimed vehicles (i.e., the Camry), it builds on its success.
Going into its third year, this unibody-based sport utility vehicle comes in a wide range of styles, from an entry-level four-cylinder, front-wheel drive model ($24,080) to its top of the line Limited 4WD V6 ($31,380).
