The consensus is that the 2016 Toyota Highlander is a solid SUV for those looking to buy a family vehicle. Buying the right SUV makes all the difference in your day to day life. The reason why the 2016 Highlander is among the best in its class is, it’s not only because it is powerful and efficient, but the availability of a hybrid model is rare in the mid-size SUV segment.

Before making the decision
Decide what you’ll use it for most often. Is it going to be hauling your kids to school and soccer practice or will it be used for family road trips?

• Off-road SUV’s (like the Toyota Land Cruiser and Jeep Cherokee) come with power for towing and handling off-road tracks.
• Modern crossover SUV’s (like the 2016 Toyota Highlander) is designed to deliver smooth and comfortable drive.

As good as it may sound; there are some aspects of the 2016 Highlander that can be enhanced. On the off chance of going off-ramp, the Highlander’s performance is drastically reduced. The fuel economy of the four-cylinder engine front wheel drive model is barely better than the V6 engine models. The third-row seating is not as comfortable as its counterparts the Honda Pilot.

There is more good in this vehicle than the features that might need a tweak. The smooth and quiet ride the 2016 Toyota Highlander gives is unparallel in its segment. The multiple safety features that come part of the deal makes this SUV the apt vehicle for hauling your family around. The 2016 models are powered by the 270-horse power 3.5-liter V6 engine and come with a standard tow package. Toyota’s Innovative Torque Control All-Wheel Drive system is available in few select trims. Hybrid variants come with an electronic on-demand all-wheel drive system. The expansive and well-equipped interiors make this SUV an asset for families looking to buy one.
