By: Funk's Toyota   |   16 Feb 2018

If your idea of the perfect ride is one that is not only rugged, reliable, and comfortable, but also high tech, you will love the new Highlander, because this go-anywhere, do-anything beast of a vehicle has cutting-edge capabilities throughout. Here we will look at a few of the many high tech features and functions you’ll find on board.

  1. Touchscreen Audio System

Many of the Highlander’s biggest tech highlights revolve around its user-friendly display audio system, starting with a 6.1” touchscreen that you can tap or swipe at will. Steering wheel mounted audio controls also come standard, while Siri Eyes Free and Bluetooth functionality are both fully compatible. XLE and Limited model Highlanders offer a wealth of additional highlights, including AVN Navigation and Sirius XM Satellite Radio Integration.

  1. Multi-angle Backup Camera

Every 2018 Highlander comes equipped with a state-of-the-art multi-angle backup camera, making every manoeuver in reverse a whole lot safer, easier, and much less stressful. Limited gas and hybrid models go even further by way of an available Bird’s Eye View Monitor, which uses 4 strategically positioned cameras to provide a 360° view of everything surrounding your vehicle.

  1. Start/Stop Technology

One of the best ways to improve your ride’s fuel efficiency is to reduce your idling time and the new Highlander does so for you by including Start/Stop Technology. This brilliant system is designed to shut off your engine anytime you come to a complete stop and then restart it the instant you take your foot off the brakes to get going again. Not only does this mean saving you fuel but creating far fewer harmful emissions as well.

  1. Keyless Entry

Whether you’ve got your hands full with tools, toys, or kids, or it is simply too cold outside to be fumbling for your keys, your new Highlander has you covered, because every new model comes with keyless entry functionality. As long as you have your keys in your purse or pocket your vehicle will unlock automatically the moment you touch the handle, making it faster and easier to load up and head off.

  1. Toyota Safety Sense P

The 2018 Highlander takes vehicle safety to a whole new level thanks to the inclusion of the award-winning Toyota Safety Sense P system. This highly integrated package is built around a suite of pre-collision warning and braking systems, each of which utilise real-time driving data to maximise the safety and performance of your vehicle. Its three main focuses are keeping drivers in their lane; improving road safety at night, and preventing and/or mitigating frontal collisions.
