Fun for the Whole Family!
When it’s time to take a long trip on the highway, your passengers will certainly enjoy themselves thanks to the assortment of sophisticated entertainment and technology features that are included in the cabin. The Entune® App Suite is a multimedia bundle that centers on a 6.1-inch touchscreen that includes voice recognition technology. The vehicle offers plenty of audio entertainment with the AM/FM radio, CD/MP3/WMA player, the USB 2.0 port and auxiliary jack, and even Bluetooth® streaming, allowing you to enjoy your smartphone’s media library through the vehicle’s 6-speaker sound system. You can also use this feature to conduct hands-free phone calls from the road!
Sophisticated Safety Technology
The Toyota Highlander comes with the Toyota Safety Sense™ P system, which simply adds more safety and convenience to the driving experience. These driver-assisting technology features utilize front-mounted radar sensors to predict collisions and determine distances from objects in your path. The Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection works to help you avoid a crash by warning you when an impact is likely, so you can intervene and stop the vehicle.
The Toyota Safety Sense™ P System also includes Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, which is a feature that uses the lines in the road to ensure that you’re within your intended path. The Dynamic Radar Cruise Control adds the convenience of setting a distance, on top of your cruising speed, so the system will keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front, even when traffic begins to slow down.
