"Toyota Highlander": specifications, interior, design and price

Off-road car "Toyota Highlander”, despite its Japanese origins, enjoys active demand in domestic and us market. By the way, this paradox in the land of the rising sun is not the first time. You can cite many examples of how the Japanese design their cars specifically for the US market. But we will not interfere in these details, and move on to the SUV «Toyota Highlander”.

The Technical characteristics and distinctive design of this car is well known to Americans since 2002. It was then rolled off the first generation auto data. But suddenly after 5 years of successful sales, the company management took the decision to close the production of this model. Some time later, in 2008, was born the new “Toyota Highlander" (the second generation). At this time the developers decided not to limit the American market and made the decision on delivery of machinery to Eastern Europe. After 2 years the novelty was officially delivered to Russia, and this means that you can buy it not through ‘black dealers”.

Externally, the car has many similar parts with the younger "sister” called “used”. In fact, the second-generation SUV has been constructed that is based on it. This makes clear why the car has almost the same grille and slanted headlights, like “donor”. But despite the slight plagiarism in the design of the SUV can be traced to a unique, purely masculine traits. This is evidenced by the massive bumper with chrome inserts and ‘cannon’ fog lamps. The angle of the windshield slightly decreased. So the developers have managed not only to give the car a sporty look, but also to reduce aerodynamic drag. High clearance and rapid slope of the front of the car saying "I am ready to conquer any obstacles." Looking at the appearance of the car, did not immediately notice that this crossover and especially that it was based on the passenger "Camry". The designers do deserve praise-they were able to make a city runabout a real four-wheel drive SUV.
