When I was given the opportunity to test drive the new 2016 Toyota Highlander XLE AWD, I was beyond thrilled. After all, it’s not everyday I get the opportunity to take a brand new vehicle for a spin and test out all of its nifty features. Right off the bat I can say that I was most impressed by its sleek and stylish design. The Highlander was built with excitement in mind. A bold, aggressive grill aids in optimal airflow while the LED Daytime Running Lights add style and visibility. I could definitely see myself driving it around town for the duration of my test drive.
Another huge selling point was that it was very roomy on the inside. It could hold up to 8 passengers, something that is great news for anyone with a big family or who likes to take lots of trips with friends. Even better still, I could just imagine how much easier trips to the grocery store would be with the extra space available for storing groceries or bigger items in the passenger areas. The second row captains chairs are also heated, which makes traveling in the cooler months all the more luxurious and comfortable.
