Discover the 2020 Highlander and Highlander hybrid

The 2020 Highlander gas model has arrived at Ile-Perrot Toyota! Come discover all that this SUV of choice has to offer.

Available in a choice of a regular gasoline or advanced self-charging gasoline-electric hybrid powertrains, with a range of trim levels to suit every taste and budget, the new Highlander line-up is an order of magnitude above the model it replaces, and ready to re-define the segment it created.

The TNGA platform also liberates Highlander’s design, giving it a more powerful stance and a modern, sophisticated attitude – with body styling designed to turn heads while being highly functional. Attention to all elements of the design – from the broad-brush strokes on the panel to the details of side mirrors and tail lights – contribute to the 2020 Highlander’s aerodynamic efficiency, to reduce wind noise while enhancing both vehicle stability and fuel efficiency.

Accentuating the 2020 Highlander are five new colours: Magnetic Gray Metallic, Ruby Flare Pearl, Blueprint, Opulent Amber and Moon Dust – a striking blue premium paint. Carried over from 2019 are exterior paint colours Blizzard Pearl, Celestial Silver Metallic and Midnight Black Metallic.

Inside, Highlander expresses a complete, modern makeover. Toyota designers improved everything from the doors to the seating, including better seat-folding features to improve access to the third row.

Highlander models with space for eight people feature a three-person bench seat in the second row, while seven-person models upgrade the second row with a pair of captain’s chairs.

The 2020 Highlander is impressively equipped with technologies that help simplify everyday life – starting with Connected Services by Toyota. Certain models also include Safety Connect, Service Connect, Remote Connect and Destination Assist. And every Highlander is compatible with both Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™.

Under the hood, the Highlander family offers a choice of powertrains. The Highlander gas models are built around a 295 horsepower, 3.5-litre V6 engine matted to a Direct Shift eight-speed automatic transmission. Highlander Hybrid models, that will arrive later this year, will feature a new-generation self-charging hybrid-electric powertrain. This all-new hybrid system will boasts a 19% improvement in fuel efficiency over the previous-generation hybrid powertrain. A competitive $2,000 premium will allows drivers to get behind the wheel of a Highlander Hybrid.
