It seems like many manufacturers are obsessed with giving vehicles as much power as possible. The problem, of course, is that not all vehicles need to have 300+ horsepower. In fact, many of them don’t need anywhere near that. The 2020 Toyota Highlander is a crossover SUV that understands where it fits in the market and where it can afford to cut some costs. Let’s take a look at six reasons you should care about the new hybrid!

Improved Fuel Economy

The 2020 Toyota Highlander SUV has great fuel economy. The crossover boasts 34 mpg in highway and city EPA testing. That’s a massive improvement from the older models that hit around 28 to 29 mpg.

A New Engine

Briefly mentioned above, the new Highlander has a more refined, less powerful engine than it did in previous generations. It’s a four-cylinder crossover this year and comes with a 2.5-liter I-4 and 240 horsepower. Does that make it a sluggish option? Stay tuned to find out, but our suspicion is “no”.

Better Price Point

In addition to improved fuel economy, you can thank the Highlander’s new engine for its drop in price. While it’s not a significant fall, the new price is more affordable and might help shoppers on a budget.

Sports Mode

Worried that the 2020 Highlander won’t have enough power for your tastes? The vehicle offers a “Sport” mode to help give the model a boost, although it’s a temporary one that won’t last for your entire trip.

Excellent Cargo Space

You might be concerned that the new hybrid crossover model might not be able to haul everything you packed in the last generation of Highlanders, but don’t worry. The battery fits under rear seats, giving you just as much space as the V-6 model.

Fun Infotainment

Finally, the 2020 Toyota Highlander offers Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and an 8.0 touchscreen standard.
