2021 Toyota Highlander review
Standing up close for the first time, next to the new — well, new to the UK — seven-seater Toyota Highlander, for a split second I could imagine what it must have been like for the youngsters in the 1989 movie, . The Highlander has the effect of making everything around it feel small. It’s massive.You’ll not be surprised to learn that at 4,966mm long, 1,930mm wide and 1,755mm tall — that’s about two inches in old money, taller than me — the Highlander is significantly larger than the RAV4 stablemate it shares its platform with, that being the GA-K version of Toyota’s TNGA Architecture.And while the behemoth that is the Highlander has been around for 21 years, racking up sales in the likes of the USA, Russia and Japan, its debut on UK streets will turn heads … possibly due to passersby wondering where the sun has disappeared to as the Toyota cruises by quietly.It’s actually the fourth-generation of the big seven-seater, but only now has Toyota in the UK decided the time is right to bring it to these shores. Good timing, as sales of rivals, such as the Skoda Kodiaq, Land Rover Discovery, Volvo XC90 and Kia Sorento are all on the up.Just a pity that it’s arrival also coincided with the RAC Foundation preaching that drivers in crowded cities should think twice before buying a big SUV. But let’s not get into that discussion at the moment.
