2026 Toyota Highlander Newport News

The 2026 Toyota Highlander gives you the power to choose the kind of drive that best fits your lifestyle. If you like a little punch under the hood, the standard 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder delivers 265 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, giving you plenty of muscle for highway merges and weekend trips. It's paired with a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive, so you'll feel confident no matter what the road looks like. Prefer something a bit more fuel-friendly? The Highlander Hybrid pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with two electric motors for a total of 243 horsepower and around 35 mpg combined. It's quiet, efficient, and still strong enough to tow up to 3,500 pounds — perfect for those light camping trailers or small boats. Whether you're chasing fuel economy or performance, the Highlander gives you both sides of the story in one sleek, capable SUV.

Inside the 2026 Highlander, you'll find a tech setup that feels modern, intuitive, and designed around everyday life. Every model comes with Toyota's latest infotainment system, starting with an 8-inch touchscreen or stepping up to a crisp 12.3-inch display on higher trims. Both support wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so your favorite apps, maps, and playlists are always ready to go — no cords required. A fully digital gauge cluster and available head-up display make it easy to keep your eyes on the road, while a wireless charging pad, USB-C ports throughout, and built-in Wi-Fi keep everyone connected on long drives. You'll also get Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 across the board, which means adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking all come standard. It's everything you want in a family SUV — smart, safe, and surprisingly easy to use.

The Highlander has always been a comfortable ride, but the 2026 model really steps up the luxury. Higher trims wrap you in soft SofTex® or available leather upholstery, with heated and ventilated front seats that make any season more enjoyable. There's even the option for heated second-row captain's chairs, giving passengers their own little slice of comfort. The panoramic moonroof floods the cabin with light, and ambient interior lighting sets the mood for those evening drives. Music lovers will appreciate the available JBL premium sound system — it fills the cabin with crisp, clear audio that makes every playlist sound like a live show. Details like a digital rearview mirror, rain-sensing wipers, and power-folding mirrors add small touches that make a big difference. The 2026 Highlander proves that practicality and luxury can live side by side.

The 2026 Toyota Highlander brings together everything drivers love in an SUV — power, efficiency, cutting-edge tech, and everyday comfort.
