2026 Toyota Highlander LIMITED

Description

Fresh for 2026, this New Toyota Highlander LIMITED AWD in striking 08X8 Blueprint takes an already respected three-row SUV and layers on more connectivity, comfort, and confidence than ever—especially for drivers who live by their smartphones. With just 3 kilometres on the odometer, it delivers a near-factory-fresh experience backed by Toyota’s latest technologies and safety systems. Under the hood, a 2.4L intercooled turbo I‑4 engine delivers an impressive 264 horsepower while using regular unleaded fuel, paired to an 8‑speed automatic transmission with lock-up torque converter and overdrive. Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD (DTV‑AWD), Multi‑Terrain Select, and Selectable Terrain Modes work together to help you adapt to changing road and weather conditions, while all-speed ABS, four-channel brakes, electronic stability control, trailer sway control, hill start assist, and hill descent control add reassuring control on challenging terrain.

LEV3‑SULEV30 and Tier 3 Bin 30 emissions compliance underscore its modern efficiency focus. Inside, the Highlander LIMITED treats occupants to a premium, three-row cabin. Leather front and rear seat upholstery with SofTex leatherette rear surfaces, simulated wood and metal-look accents, and a leather-wrapped heated steering wheel create an upscale environment. Both front seats are power-adjustable (8‑way) with heating and ventilation, plus driver power lumbar support and memory settings for seat and mirrors. Second-row passengers enjoy a 60/40 split-bench with sliding, reclining and fore/aft adjustment, while the third row folds into the floor with 60/40 flexibility and manual recline. Thoughtful touches like illuminated entry, auto-dimming rearview mirror, conversation mirror, dual and rear climate control with separate rear controls, and a cabin air filter enhance day-to-day comfort. At the centre of the dash is a 12.3‑inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen—your command hub for a deeply integrated smartphone experience.

Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto mirroring are standouts here, elevating this Highlander beyond basic connectivity. With wireless integration, you can leave your cords at home: navigation apps, podcasts, playlists, messages and calls from either platform appear crisply on the large display with intuitive touch controls. Apple CarPlay support is designed to feel natural for iPhone users. Once paired, your familiar iOS interface appears on the 12.3‑inch screen, giving quick, glove‑friendly access to Maps, Apple Music, Messages and more. Voice interaction is seamless—use Siri through the vehicle’s microphone system to send and receive texts, adjust routes or change playlists while keeping your hands on the wheel. The clear layout and responsive screen make on‑the‑go adjustments simple, reducing distraction and integrating your digital routine directly into your drive. Android Auto support receives equally strong emphasis.

Android users can call up Google Maps or other preferred navigation apps with turn‑by‑turn directions displayed on the main screen, with real-time traffic from Drive Connect working alongside your apps. Voice commands through Google Assistant let you search destinations, place calls, or control audio without diving into menus. This Highlander effectively becomes an extension of your Android device, with wireless mirroring cutting clutter and making every errand or road trip more connected and convenient. Supporting these smartphone features is an audio system that makes the most of your content: JBL speakers powered by a 1200W amplifier, Clari‑Fi digital signal processing, AM/FM/SiriusXM satellite radio with a 3‑month trial, Bluetooth wireless audio streaming, and speed‑sensitive volume. Driver Easy Speak allows front occupants to talk to rear passengers via the vehicle’s speakers—especially useful with a full third row.

A Qi wireless charging pad up front and five USB ports keep devices powered, while a 120V AC outlet adds flexibility for electronics. The 2026 Highlander LIMITED also integrates cloud-based Drive Connect Cloud Navigation with a 3‑year trial, Destination Assist, real-time traffic and weather, plus Drive Connect Intelligent Assistant and Toyota Assistant voice-activated controls. Together, they allow natural voice commands for navigation, climate and audio adjustments, adding a layer of convenience to the wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto experience. On the outside, this Highlander LIMITED projects a refined, modern presence. The 08X8 Blueprint paint is complemented by body-coloured bumpers and mirrors, chrome side window trim, a black grille with chrome surround, and 20 x 7.5‑inch chrome aluminum wheels wrapped in P235/55VR20 all-season tires.

LED low and high beam projector headlights, LED daytime running lights, LED front fog lights, Automatic High Beam, a rear lip spoiler, roof rails, and a power liftgate underscore its upscale yet practical character. The first and second-row sliding and tilting glass sunroof with power sunshade brings extra light and air into the cabin. Safety and driver assistance are extensive. Toyota Safety Sense™-based features include Full‑Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Tracing Assist, Lane Departure Alert w/ Steering Assist, Automatic High Beam and Curve Speed Management for automatic slowdown on bends. Pre‑Collision System w/ Intersection Support and Pedestrian (Day & Low-Light) and Bicycle (Daytime) Detection, Emergency Steering Assist and Vehicle Sway Warning provide elevated collision mitigation and driver attention support.

Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross Traffic Brake, Intelligent Clearance Sonar front and rear parking sensors, a rear-view camera, eight airbags (including driver knee and front passenger seat cushion airbags), and Rear Seat Reminder further bolster safety. Convenience technology rounds out the package. Smart Key with hands-free access and push-button start, keyfob remote start, Smart device remote start, HomeLink garage door opener, power folding heated mirrors with integrated turn signals, power windows with one‑touch up/down, power door locks with auto-locking, trunk/hatch auto-latching, proximity cargo access and tailgate-linked power lock add day-to-day ease. Over-the-air update capability, SafetyConnect® with a 5‑year minimum subscription, Service Connect with up to a 10‑year trial, immobilizer and a full security system help keep the vehicle and its systems current and protected. With its advanced turbo powertrain, sophisticated AWD capability, premium three-row comfort and an especially robust smartphone integration suite—headlined by wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on a 12.3‑inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen—this 2026 Toyota Highlander LIMITED AWD in Blueprint stands out as a forward-thinking SUV built for modern families and connected drivers alike.
