What’s New for the 2026 Toyota Highlander at Toyota of Scranton

There are a lot of SUVs out there, but most of them can’t match the balanced performance that the new 2026 Highlander brings to the table. This model gives you the best of both worlds, as you’ll have a powerful and responsive engine that aims to conserve as much fuel as possible. The result is an efficient SUV that’s nimble and fun to drive. You can see what it’s like to drive the Highlander when you stop by Toyota of Scranton.

Test-Drive the New 2026 Toyota Highlander

This is a Toyota model, so it’s needless to say that it’s strong. The Highlander offers both gas and hybrid grades, so you can choose the one that works best for you and your family. As for performance, you’re bound to be impressed by what this SUV can do. The Highlander Hybrid is able to get up to a manufacturer-estimated 35 miles per gallon combined while still delivering up to a net-combined 243 horsepower. This gives you a lot of power to work with, and you’ll be able to tow up to 3,500 pounds of weight. This is impressive, but this model has a few more tricks up its sleeve. All hybrid models are equipped with the Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive System, so you’ll have great handling regardless of whether it’s a sunny day or it’s pouring. You’ll also be able to use the Highlander Hybrid’s EV mode. This allows you to drive short distances with just the power of the battery.

Great Tech For Your Cabin

If you look at your dashboard, you’ll find the 8-inch Touchscreen. Higher grades come with a larger 12.3-inch Touchscreen, with both being powered by the Toyota Audio Multimeda System. This model also offers smart features like standard Three Zone Climate Control, Qi-compatible Wireless Charging, and the 7-inch Color LCD Multi-Information Display. With a cabin like this, you’ll have the latest tech at your fingertips. If you want to see what these features are like, and you live close to Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, or Chinchilla, then we’d be happy to get you behind the wheel at Toyota of Scranton. While you might be excited to see the Highlander, we also have new, used, and certified models that might pique your interest. If something happens to catch your eye, you can always ask for a test drive.
