The three-row midsize crossover class has grown from just a few nameplates in the early 2000s into one of the more competitive markets in the industry-and the Toyota Highlander has been there since the beginning. Now in its fourth generation, the 2022 Highlander continues to excel in the segment it helped popularize more than two decades ago, delivering a superb blend of comfort, versatility, safety, and Toyota’s renowned reputation for reliability.
The Highlander is a great choice for larger Morristown-area families seeking extra space, seatbelts, and safety features without the imposing space requirements of a full-size SUV. And drivers from Knoxville to Sevierville, TN, can find the perfect match for their families here at Rusty Wallace Toyota in Morristown.
Despite its larger dimensions, the Toyota Highlander is impressively spry for its size. Under the hood, the robust 3.5-liter V6 powerplant (295 horsepower, 263 lb-ft of torque) provides plenty of internal motivation for confident highway merging and passing maneuvers. The engine responds dutifully when you step on the accelerator, capable of reaching 60 mph from a standstill in under 7.0 seconds. The Highlander keeps its composure on winding roads and neatly smooths out road imperfections for a pleasingly plush ride. Torque Vectoring All-Wheel Drive is available across the lineup for enhanced control in inclement conditions and improved off-road capability.
The 2022 Toyota Highlander is roomy and refined, with spacious seating, modern design elements, quality materials, and an intuitive layout. A capable family mover, the Highlander provides comfortable accommodations for up to eight (seven with second-row captain’s chairs) and numerous available convenience amenities, including a hands-free power liftgate and Driver Easy Speak, which lets you communicate with rear-seat passengers without needing to raise your voice. The 2022 Highlander retains 16 cubic feet for your luggage or groceries with all seats in use. And when you need more cargo roomy, the 60/40-split third and second-row seats fold flat, expanding capacity to 48.4 and 85 cubic feet, respectively.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto provide safe and intuitive access to a variety of smartphone features via the standard 8-inch touchscreen, including hands-free calling and messages, Google and Apple Maps, streaming media, your music library, and more. Platinum models feature a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen and a head-up display that lets you view useful information without taking your eyes off the road.
Your family’s safety isn’t just optional, and neither is Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5+. All 2022 Highlander models come with a full roster of advanced driver-assistance technologies for a safer and more convenient journey. Standard driver aids include:
