Performance Capabilities

You’ll have the choice between two available engines: The 3.5-liter V6 engine which produces 295 horsepower and 263 lb-ft of torque capabilities, and the 2.5-liter four-cylinder electric engine for Hybrid trim levels.

On Hybrid trim levels, you’ll have four selectable driving modes which include NORMAL, ECO, EV, and SPORT, which you can change depending on the terrain you’re traveling over.

For advanced towing features, pair the V6 engine with the available towing package to get a towing capacity of up to 5,000 lbs. when properly equipped. This system also includes Trailer Sway Control, and Vehicle Stability Control, for maximum traction control when towing or off-roading.

Standard Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0

You’ll find a plethora of driver-assistant safety features within the standard Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0 system. These features were designed to be a second set of eyes on the road ahead. Here we’ll dive into the features included in this advanced system.

This system works by monitoring the vehicles, objects, and pedestrians ahead of you. When it senses an oncoming collision, it will alert you with audio and visual warnings, and can even help apply brake pressure in order to mitigate or avoid a collision.

This feature is a big advantage for those frequent highway commuters. It will help you maintain one set speed and automatically slow down or accelerate depending on the flow of traffic.

This feature will help you stay securely in your lane by warning you when it senses you drifting. It will also provide gentle steering assistance in order to keep you safely in the center of your lane.

• Automatic High Beams

The Automatic High Beams improve visibility for you and everyone else on the road, because they will automatically toggle between low and high beams depending on incoming traffic.

This system works with the Dynamic Radar Cruise Control feature to monitor the lines on the road and keep you centered.
