The 2014 Toyota Highlander is a better SUV today than it was yesterday, thanks to a significant redesign of its gas-powered and hybrid models. Now with a sleeker look, 34 percent more third-row cargo space, room for up to eight passengers and great new amenities, the 2014 Toyota Highlander separates itself from the competition by evolving into something crossover SUV enthusiasts love - a perfect balance of car and sporty utility vehicle.

Toyota Highlander shoppers in Dallas and Grapevine will enjoy other brand-new features like three engine choices, Toyota's Entune smartphone integration system, a power rear liftgate and a rearview camera. The 2014 Highlander is also equipped this year with the STAR Safety System, which adds safety features like enhanced vehicle stability control, ABS, traction control, electronic brake-force distribution, and smart stop technology.

The 2014 Toyota Highlander and Highlander Hybrid are available in Grapevine and the Dallas area in several different trim levels. Buyers can choose from three gasoline engine options, while the hybrid comes stock with a 3.5-liter V6 and a high-torque electric motor, collectively called the Hybrid Synergy Drive. All gasoline-only base models come with a 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine, but we recommend stepping up to one of two available V6 options for premium power and hauling/towing ability.

Three rows of seating and an attractive, comfortable interior comprise the 2014 Highlander's cabin. Standard and optional features include: heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, navigation, leather seats, automatic headlights, a rear-seat DVD entertainment system, a panoramic moonroof, and much more.
