If you’re looking for a bold new SUV capable of taking you beyond the ordinary, then the new 2023 Toyota Highlander is what you’ve been waiting for. This powerful yet dominant vehicle is the epitome of strength and comfort. With a staggering standard 265 horsepower, you’ll feel like you’ve just entered into the races with the power this SUV is capable of.

Were we right? Or were we right? The new 2023 Toyota Highlander did not come to play. This magnificent SUV came prepared to dominate the competition at every turn. From its best available EPA-estimated mpg to its availability as a hybrid, the Toyota Highlander is a truly efficient ride that won’t let you down. It also boasts 310 pound-feet of available torque, which is great for towing your heaviest load with ease. Although both models offer available all-wheel drive and a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds,4,5 the Honda Pilot is no match for the Toyota Highlander model’s conveniences. Turn up the tunes with its available 11-speaker JBL® Premium Audio system, which includes a subwoofer and amplifier,6 and enjoy no-cost maintenance for 24 months or 25,000 miles (whichever comes first).8 The Honda Pilot may also seem like a good option, but when it comes down to functionality, versatility and driver perks, the new 2023 Toyota Highlander is the right choice.
