It has long been a cornerstone member of the Toyota new model lineup, available here at Elgin Toyota Scion in Elgin, IL, and now for 2014 the Highlander is going to receive massive overhaul to get it updated for the new model year.  Luckily for us, the first reviews and images are out now on the refreshed model, and for all intents and purposes, it appears that Toyota has done a great job.


The first thing you're likely to notice that has changed is the exterior design in the new 2014 Highlander SUV model.  Over the last couple of years, Toyota has been moving to modernizing and updating the styling across of their model lineup, and the Highlander is the recent recipient for the treatment.  The updated model of the Highlander is about 3 inches longer than previous versions contributing to more space and a more luxurious ride.  It is also more sleek contributing to a more modern silhouette and a body shape that is both functional, by providing adequate space but is also appealing to the eyes.


One thing not being changed on this new SUV version is the engine platforms available to power it. Drivers can pick from the 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine which produces 185 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque or the more powerful, but still efficient, 3.5-liter V6 engine, which is capable of 270 horsepower to go alongside 248 pound-feet of torque.
