Powerful, versatile, and ready for anything: It’s good to be in a 2010 Toyota Highlander with 4-cyl and 6-cyl models
(TORONTO) – The Toyota Highlander is a better breed of vehicle – delivering passenger car-like handling and control coupled with the power and versatility of a mid-size SUV.
“The 2010 Toyota Highlander is available in four models – an efficient 4-cylinder and three powerful V6 models – each with a generous suite of standard features,” said Warren Orton, Director at Toyota Canada Inc. “All 2010 Toyota Highlander models can accommodate up to seven passengers or almost 100 cubic feet of cargo, so it’s easy to take family, friends and gear wherever you want to go. Each delivers the comfort, versatility, power and safety that Canadians demand.”
The four-cylinder, front wheel drive Toyota Highlander achieves remarkable fuel efficiency – just 9.0 L/100 KM – while still delivering ample power and performance for most drivers. Its 2.7L 4-cylinder engine generates up to 187 horsepower and up to 186 lb-ft of torque, for a 1,587 KG (3,500 lb) towing capacity. A six-speed sequential shift electronically controlled automatic transmission ensures strong acceleration at any speed for confident driving.
For those who need more power, there are three models equipped with a 3.5L V6 that generates 270 peak horsepower and up to 248 lb ft of torque, capable of towing up to 2,268 KG (5,000 lb). Mated to a five-speed sequential shift electronically controlled automatic transmission, these Highlanders offer the additional driving confidence of full-time 4 wheel drive, and achieve a combined city/highway fuel efficiency of 10.8 L/100 KM.
Regardless of engine size, the Highlander is rated as a Tier 2 Bin 5 vehicle for emissions performance thanks to numerous Toyota engine management technologies, such as Dual Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence and Sequential Multiport Electronic Fuel Injection.
And because it’s good to be ready for anything, all Highlander models are equipped with extensive handling and safety features, including:
