2006 Toyota Highlander Sport V6 w/o 3rd Row 4dr All-Wheel Drive

Overview

The Toyota Highlander is the best-selling vehicle of its type, a midsize sport-utility based on a car. It promises top-notch quality, durability and reliability. But it's also a practical and easy mannered SUV. The Highlander is available in base or Limited trim, each with front-wheel drive or full-time all-wheel drive. A choice of three powertrains is now available: A 2.4-liter inline-4, rated at 160 horsepower, comes standard. A 3.3-liter V6 that produces 230 horsepower is optional on the base Highlander and standard on the Limited. And a Hybrid version is new for 2006. Safety features start with front seatbelt pretensioners and force limiters. The driver and passenger front airbags inflate according to collision severity and front-seat passenger weight category. Optional side-impact airbags are mounted in the front seats and side curtain airbags are designed to protect the heads of first- and second-row passengers. A new low-tire-pressure warning system is also standard. For 2006, the Toyota Highlander is available with hybrid technology.
