car_truckSliding into the driver’s seat of this 2023 Toyota Highlander LE AWD feels less like stepping into a typical family SUV and more like settling into a well-organized command center built for real life—school runs, winter highways, weekend escapes, and everything in between. Finished in sophisticated 0218 Midnight Black Metallic, it offers three rows of flexible seating, confident all-weather control, and a technology suite that keeps everyone connected without overwhelming you.
Under the hood, a 2.4L intercooled turbocharged I-4 engine delivers an efficient balance of power and fuel economy, paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. Dynamic Torque Control All-Wheel Drive and Multi-Terrain Select give you selectable drive modes so you can adapt to changing road and weather conditions, supported by hill start assist, hill descent control, and trailer sway control for added confidence.
All-speed ABS, four-channel four-wheel disc brakes, electronic stability control, and a fully independent suspension system contribute to composed, reassuring road manners.
Where this Highlander really stands out is in the way it integrates your smartphone into everyday driving. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smart device mirroring transform the 8-inch touchscreen into a familiar, app-like interface. Plug in and your preferred navigation, music, podcasts, messages, and calls appear clearly on the primary display, letting you route trips, queue playlists, and send responses using intuitive on-screen icons. Because it’s wireless mirroring, you avoid messy cables while still enjoying seamless access to your digital life. Steering-wheel audio controls, Bluetooth handsfree calling, and voice-activated audio and climate through Toyota Assistant help you stay focused on the road while you stay connected.
Beyond the smartphone integration, the Highlander LE offers a thoughtful technology package designed to reduce stress on every drive.
Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Curve Speed Management helps manage speed and distance on the highway, while Lane Change Assist/Lane Tracing Assist and Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist provide hands-on support in keeping you centered in your lane. The Pre-Collision System with Intersection Support, Low-Light Pedestrian & Bicycle Detection, Emergency Steering Assist, and Vehicle Sway Warning add multiple layers of protection and awareness, working in the background as you drive.
Inside, the cabin is practical and comfortable with durable cloth upholstery, leatherette and metal-look trim accents, and full carpet floor coverage with additional vinyl/rubber floor mats. Three rows of seating include a 60/40 split-folding second and third row, manual reclining and fore/aft adjustment in the second row, and third-row seats that fold into the floor, allowing you to quickly transition between passenger-hauling and cargo-carrying duties.
Height-adjustable head restraints in all rear rows help ensure proper fit for passengers of different sizes.
The driver’s seat features 8-way power adjustment including height and cushion tilt, allowing you to fine-tune your position, while both front seats are heated for cold mornings. Dual-zone automatic climate control with separate rear controls, rear under-seat and headliner/pillar ducts, and a cabin air filter keep temperatures balanced and air quality comfortable throughout all three rows.
Storage and everyday usability are clear priorities. You’ll find 14 beverage holders spread throughout the cabin, seatback pockets, door bins front and rear, a full floor console with covered storage, overhead console with conversation mirror, and concealed cargo-area storage with tie-downs and lighting. The liftgate rear cargo door makes loading simple, while keyfob-operated trunk control and remote start—plus Smart Key with hands-free access and push-button start—simplify both entry and departure.
The infotainment system includes AM/FM/SiriusXM capability with a three-month satellite trial, six speakers, speed-sensitive volume, and a window grid/roof-mounted antenna for clear reception.
Five USB ports ensure that passengers in all rows can keep devices charged. Safety Connect and Service Connect (with up to 10-year trials) add features like integrated SOS emergency assistance, vehicle tracking, and service interval information for added peace of mind.
Outside, the Highlander LE presents a clean, modern profile. The Midnight Black Metallic paint is complemented by body-coloured bumpers, mirrors, and door handles, a black grille with metal-look surround, chrome window trim, and black wheel-arch accents. LED low and high beam projector headlights with Automatic High Beams, LED brake lights, and remote-activated perimeter approach lighting enhance visibility and security. Deep-tinted rear windows provide privacy and help keep the interior cool, while 18-inch silver aluminum wheels wrapped in all-season tires balance ride comfort with confident traction.
With 114,617 kilometers on the odometer, this pre-owned 2023 Highlander LE AWD offers the substance of Toyota engineering, three-row versatility, and notably advanced Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration—all wrapped in a refined, midnight-black package that’s ready for everyday duty and long-distance travel alike.
