So appeared and Toyota Highlander 2022, which received a serious redesign not only the appearance, but also the interior, as well as, despite the previous power unit, and the undercarriage characteristics.

As a whole, despite all «family», the car has turned out more wickedly and dynamically than its forerunner, and for sure will please not only experienced, family, but also young drivers.

Exterior

Judging by the photo, the new car has a more modern, but at the same time and unified with similar models exterior.

Thus, the novelty began to look more interesting, but also lost its individuality, preserving its basis only in general features.

The new model looks much brighter in the front projection, where it combines undisguised aggression and conservative «minivan» style.

The muzzle put on a middle height here absolutely does not stand out with dimensions among competitors.

Under the sloping windshield you can find slightly bent forward big hood with an elevated central part.

Immediately below it there are stretched «icons» of the headlights with high-quality LED stuffing.

The radiator grille is slightly reduced in size, has acquired the shape of a regular trapezoid and has retained the decorative chrome plaque with a large brand symbol in the upper part.

Controls and controls

Steering wheel with leather-covered fluffy rim and lots of buttons on the side spokes unchanged from the previous version of the machine.

But the dashboard, located immediately behind it, with the classical tachometer, speedometer and trip computer is slightly «grown», and a large display of the command and entertainment center, located slightly to the right, boasts new features.

Of the other elements located on the torpedo, it is worth noting small air deflectors and quite complex, at least visually, the block of work with the climate control.

As for the central tunnel, it remained floppy and wide, with a small technical panel and an elegant gear selector, cup holders, organizer and armrest, in the depths of which hides an additional large, cooled box.

Seating and luggage compartment

The seven-seater car can brag of leather covering and soft filling of all seats, however, the quantity of accessible functions will decrease from row to row.

If the first two seats can brag of electro settings of position, heating, a massager and developed lateral support, then the average sofa is deprived of the last two options, and on back seats it is possible to adjust an angle of slope of a back only slightly.
