The {{nihongo|'''Toyota Highlander'''|トヨタ・ハイランダー|Toyota Hairandā|lead=yes}}, also known as the {{nihongo|'''Toyota Kluger'''|トヨタ・クルーガー|Toyota Kurūgā|lead=yes}} in some markets, is a [[mid-size crossover SUV]] with three-row seating produced by [[Toyota]] since 2000.

The Highlander was announced in April 2000 at the [[New York International Auto Show#2000|New York International Auto Show]], arriving in Japan in late 2000, and North America in January 2001. It was among the first of a new class of mid-size SUVs that were based on a car platform (later known as crossovers). At the time, the Highlander was built on the company's existing [[Toyota K platform|Toyota K]] architecture, shared with the [[Toyota Camry|Camry]].<ref>{{cite press release |url=http://4cars-innovation.blogspot.com/2014/05/2015-toyota-highlander-release-date-and.html |title=2015 Toyota Highlander release date |publisher=Toyota |location=US |date=19 April 2000 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140807060452/http://4cars-innovation.blogspot.com/2014/05/2015-toyota-highlander-release-date-and.html |archive-date=7 August 2014}}</ref> The Highlander became Toyota's best-selling [[SUV]] in the US before being surpassed by the smaller [[Toyota RAV4|RAV4]] in 2006.

The first-generation model was sold in Japan as the Kluger, which was exclusive to a dealership network called ''[[Toyota dealerships (Japan)|Toyota Netz]]'' as a larger alternative to the RAV4. The Kluger nameplate is also used in Australia because "Highlander" is a trademarked trim line name owned by [[Hyundai Motor Company|Hyundai]]. The name is derived from the German word ''klug'', which means smart or clever (''klüger'' – with [[diacritic]]s – means "more clever“ in German).<ref>{{cite web |first=Glenn |last=Butler |date=1 October 2003 |url=http://www.carpoint.com.au/reviews/2003/large-passenger/toyota/kluger/toyota-kluger-2003-4401 |title=Toyota Kluger (2003–) |publisher=Carpoint.com.au |access-date=6 June 2012}}</ref>

The fifth-generation Highlander introduced in 2026 became a [[Battery electric vehicle|battery electric]] model. A [[Subaru]] version is marketed as the '''Subaru Getaway'''.

The Highlander (or Kluger in Japan and Australia) shared a platform with its [[Lexus RX (XU30)|XU30 series Lexus RX/Toyota Harrier]] cousin. It came in five (2001–2007) and seven-seat (2004–2007) configurations and became a sales success for Toyota in a number of markets across the world. The Highlander came standard with [[front-wheel drive]] and offered full time [[four-wheel drive]]. A rear [[limited-slip differential]] was optionally available on models without traction control.<ref name="02usbroch" /> Unlike Toyota's own [[Toyota 4Runner|4Runner]] and other mid-sized competitors such as the [[Jeep Grand Cherokee]], or [[Chevrolet TrailBlazer]], the Highlander aimed for on-road comfort with its [[unibody]] construction and independent rear suspension. Although it was longer than the 1996–2002 4Runner available at the time it was launched, the Highlander was surpassed in length by the redesigned 4Runner in August 2002.

The Highlander was available in three trim lines in the United States: the base model, the Sport model, and the Limited model. The base and Limited models were present when the Highlander was initially introduced, while the Sport model was introduced in March 2006. For the 2004 model year, the wheels on the Limited trim changed from a six-spoke to a five-spoke alloy. The base-model Highlander wheels also changed from steel-rims to the alloy wheels that were on the 2001–2003 model year Highlander Limited and B-Package. The Sport models had a distinctive grille design, differentiating themselves from the non-Sport models. Wheel styling also serves to differentiate the various models—the hybrid sports a unique twin-spoke design.

The 3.0-liter engine was able to propel the Highlander from {{cvt|0|-|60|mph|km/h|order=flip}} in approximately 8.8 seconds. For 2004 the Highlander was given a new 3.3-liter V6 engine to compete with the more powerful V6 offerings from its competitors, mainly the [[Nissan Murano]] and the [[Honda Pilot]]. The larger engine made it possible for the Highlander to reach {{cvt|0|to|60|mi/h|km/h|order=flip}} in 7.8 seconds.

;Australia The Kluger was introduced to Australia in October 2003. It was available in three guises: CV, CVX, and Grande. A limited edition CV Sport model was also released in 2006. There was no hybrid model available in Australia. The only engine offered was the 3.3-liter ''3MZ-FE'' [[V6 engine|V6]]. Typical fuel economy using the Australian standard testing regime is {{cvt|12.3|L/100 km}}.

=== 2001 update === For the 2001 model year, the Japanese and Australian Kluger was released with a center console integrated with the dashboard, while the North American Highlander initially lacked this integrated center console. This meant that the cup holders before 2002/2003/2004 were integrated to the seats. The integrated center console was introduced in all US Highlanders and in Canadian Limited Highlanders in late 2001, for the 2002 model year, and in all Canadian Highlanders in late 2003, for the 2004 model year. However, for early Highlanders without the integrated center console, a smaller non-integrated stand-alone center console was available as an option, either factory or dealer installed.

=== 2004 update === For the 2004 model year, an updated 3.3-liter engine was introduced alongside a new five-speed automatic transmission for the V6-powered models. The five-speed automatic replaced the four-speed automatic transmission paired with the outgoing 3.0-liter V6, while the inline-four models remain unchanged. This year also saw the introduction of the optional third row seat allowing for two additional passengers. A DVD-based navigation system was introduced to the Highlander for the 2006 model year as an option on the Hybrid Limited trim. The unibody was slightly modified behind the second row seats to include a depression in the hatch floor able to accommodate the optional third row seating. On models without third row seating, this space was turned into a storage compartment. (prior to 2004 the spare tire was accessible from inside the vehicle where the third row seating would subsequently be located; beginning in 2004 the spare tire is accessible from underneath the vehicle). Subtle changes to the front grille, front and rear bumpers, headlights and tail lights round-out the major changes for the 2004 refresh.

=== 2005 update === In 2005, for the 2006 model year, Highlanders sold in Canada were offered only in a V6 [[all-wheel drive]] configuration. Hybrid models were available with part-time four-wheel drive, which Toyota refers to as 4WD-i whereby the rear wheels are powered by a separate electric motor. This system is intended for use on snow and ice and is prone to overheating the rear electric motor off-road.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/auto/article894067.ece |title=''The Globe and Mail'' article |website=[[The Globe and Mail]] |access-date=22 August 2017 }}{{dead link|date=June 2022|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref>

=== Safety === [[Anti-lock brakes]], [[brake assist]] and [[electronic brakeforce distribution]] were standard, [[Vehicle Stability Control]] w/[[traction control system|traction control]] optional on 2001–03 models became standard for 2004 models (Hybrids come standard with [[VDIM]]). Also standard for 2004 was a tire pressure monitor. Front seat-mounted [[side torso airbag]]s were optional on 2001–06 models, while front and second row [[side curtain airbag]]s were optional on 2004–06 models. Side airbags became standard on 2007 models and the curtain airbags gained a rollover sensor that year as well.

Initially, the Kluger was a regular, non-hybrid SUV driven by an internal combustion engine, but later Toyota introduced a [[Hybrid vehicle|hybrid]] version, the '''Kluger Hybrid''' that utilizes the company's [[Hybrid Synergy Drive]] technology combined with the company's ''[[Toyota MZ engine|3MZ-FE]]'' 3.3-liter V6 engine offered in either FWD or AWD trim. The hybrid drivetrain was unveiled at the [[North American International Auto Show#2004|2004 North American International Auto Show]], and was offered to the public in July 2005 as a 2006 model. The power steering pump, water pump and AC compressor were changed from belt-drive to electrically powered versions. A modified [[alternator (automotive)|alternator]] was incorporated into the hybrid system.

In North America, the hybrid version was called the '''Highlander Hybrid'''. It was also the first seven-seat [[hybrid vehicle]] from Toyota.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.edmunds.com/toyota/highlander-hybrid/2006/ |title=2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid |publisher=Edmunds.com |date=9 March 2010 |access-date=6 June 2012}}</ref> With the electric motors providing power, overall acceleration improved, particularly at passing speeds. Other additions include Toyota's [[Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management]] (VDIM) system and [[Electronically Controlled Brake]] (ECB). The [[California Air Resources Board]] gave it a [[SULEV]] emission rating. The [[United States Environmental Protection Agency|US Environmental Protection Agency]] (revised standards) rated it at {{cvt|28|mpgus|L/100 km mpgimp|order=flip}} City/{{cvt|25|mpgus|L/100 km mpgimp|order=flip}} Highway for FWD models and {{cvt|27|mpgus|L/100 km mpgimp|order=flip}}/{{cvt|25|mpgus|L/100 km mpgimp|order=flip}} for AWD models. This system is near identical to that of the [[Lexus RX 400h]]. All-wheel drive models were rated to tow {{cvt|3500|lb|order=flip}}.

Toyota revealed the second generation Highlander and Highlander Hybrid at the [[Chicago Auto Show#2007|2007 Chicago Auto Show]], with American sales beginning in July and hybrids in late September.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.toyota.com/vehicles/future/highlander.html?s_van=GM_HOME_HIGHLANDER_TXT |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070210053459/http://www.toyota.com/vehicles/future/highlander.html?s_van=GM_HOME_HIGHLANDER_TXT |url-status=dead |archive-date=10 February 2007 |title=2008 Toyota Highlander }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.caranddriver.com/autoshows/12458/2008-toyota-highlander.html |title=2008 Toyota Highlander – Auto Shows |work=Car & Driver |date=February 2007 |access-date=7 February 2007}}</ref> The second generation Highlander and Highlander Hybrid were not sold in Japan. The five-seat Highlander for the United States and Canada was dropped as the [[Toyota Venza|Venza]] replaced it.

Initially the sole powertrain for the 2008 Highlander was a {{cvt|270|hp|kW hp PS|0|adj=on|order=out}} 3.5-liter ''[[Toyota GR engine#2GR-FE|2GR-FE]]'' V6 mated to a five-speed [[automatic transmission|automatic]]. The four-cylinder model had been discontinued but added again in 2009. While the 3.5-liter engine has {{cvt|55|hp|kW hp PS|0|order=out}} more than the previous 3.3-liter V6 and dimensional increases along with increased sound proofing added nearly {{cvt|500|lb|kg|order=flip|round=5}} to the vehicle's curb weight of approximately {{cvt|4,000|lb|kg|order=flip|round=5}}, fuel economy is slightly improved. The EPA estimated fuel economy for front-wheel drive models is at {{cvt|18|mpgus|L/100km mpgus mpgimp|order=out}} city and {{cvt|24|mpgus|L/100km mpgus mpgimp|order=out}} highway (previous generation was: {{cvt|17|mpgus|L/100km mpgus mpgimp|order=out}} city and {{cvt|23|mpgus|L/100km mpgus mpgimp|order=out}} hwy).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.jbcarpages.com/toyota/highlander/2008/specs/ |title=2008 Toyota Highlander Specs |work=JB car pages |access-date=17 July 2008}}</ref>

For 2009, Toyota again offered a 4-cylinder for 5-passenger front-wheel drive models with the all-new ULEV-II certified 2.7-liter ''[[Toyota AR engine|1AR-FE]]'' I4 paired to a six-speed automatic. It generates {{cvt|187|hp|kW hp PS|order=out}} at 5,800 rpm and {{cvt|186|lb·ft|N.m|order=flip}} of peak torque at 4,100 rpm on regular 87 octane fuel. The four-cylinder delivers an EPA estimated fuel economy of {{cvt|20|mpgus|L/100km mpgus mpgimp|order=out}} city and {{cvt|27|mpgus|L/100km mpgus mpgimp|order=out}} highway.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find.do?action=sbs&id=29747 |title=2010 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER 2WD |publisher=fueleconomy.gov}}</ref> This is better than the previous model's four-cylinder with {{cvt|19|mpgus|L/100km mpgus mpgimp|order=out}}/{{cvt|25|mpgus|L/100km mpgus mpgimp|order=out}}.

The same three trim levels were offered (Base [also Base Plus after the 2011 refresh], Sport and Limited) until early 2010 when the SE model replaced the Sport model, buyers are still able to choose between [[front-wheel drive]] or [[all-wheel drive]] on V6 platforms. Also new is an [[Electric Power Steering (EPS)]] system.

In Australia, the new generation Kluger was launched in August 2007. There are three trims available, KX-R, KX-S and Grande. All trims are available with either 2WD or AWD. The base model KX-R is also available with either five or seven seats, whilst the latter trims are seven seaters only. Specifications are mostly similar to the US Highlander, sharing the same 3.5-liter [[V6]] ''2GR-FE'' engine and five-speed automatic transmission.

=== 2010 update ===

In 2010, for the 2011 model year, Toyota made some changes to the Highlander and Highlander Hybrid. While the general design remains similar to the 2008–2010 model, the Highlander's front end has been significantly revised, now featuring new headlights, a new black with chrome accent rocker panel, and new front grille. The non-hybrid engines for 2011 remain the same, although now the 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine may be had on the SE trim level, previously only available on the base model. More standard features are now equipped on all trim levels, with the base model receiving rear air conditioning, third row seating, cruise control, and a multi-function keyless entry control.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.automoblog.net/2010/09/24/toyota-highlander-ascends-to-new-altitude-for-2011/ |title=Toyota Highlander Ascends to New Altitude for 2011 |first=Chris |last=Nagy |publisher=Automoblog.net |date=24 September 2010 |access-date=17 March 2014}}</ref> The facelifted model was also sold in Russia from 2010 to 2013.

The safety and effectiveness of the Highlander/Kluger's Vehicle Stability Control system has been questioned by some motoring journalists. During testing for ''[[Wheels (magazine)|Wheels]]'' magazine [[Wheels Car of the Year|Car of the Year]] in 2007, the magazine's editor rolled the vehicle during high-speed gravel road testing. Noting that it was the first such event in the magazine's 45-year history, he criticised the vehicle's stability system stating that "Deficiencies in the Kluger's ESP contributed to the crash". Six of the seven other judges also stated that they felt ''"the vehicle's ESP performance was sub-standard"'', and remarked that the vehicle was ''"almost dangerous on dirt [roads]"''. In a written response, Toyota disputed the circumstances of the accident and criticised the testing procedures as "unscientific".<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Bulmer |first1=Ged |last2=Newton |first2=Bruce |date=February 2008 |url=http://www627.megaupload.com/files/16707ecdde7d1144e32835f76add8425/wheels%20kluger.pdf |title=Crash Tackled |journal=[[Wheels (magazine)|Wheels]] |location=Sydney |pages=54–55, 78–79 |archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/5skgpCPdw?url=http://www627.megaupload.com/files/16707ecdde7d1144e32835f76add8425/wheels%20kluger.pdf |archive-date=15 September 2010 |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last=Newton |first=Bruce |date=February 2008 |url=http://www.carpoint.com.au/reviews/2008/large-4x4/audi/a5/wheels-coty-2007-stage-1--proving-ground-11041?intref=ed-reviews |title=Wheels COTY 2007: Stage 1 – Proving Ground |journal=[[Wheels (magazine)|Wheels]] |location=Sydney |access-date=25 June 2010}}</ref>

The Hybrid features Toyota's [[Hybrid Synergy Drive]] which continues to allow an electric only powered mode for short distances and speeds. Weight and cost have been improved over the previous hybrid.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.autobloggreen.com/2007/02/07/chicago-auto-show-2008-toyota-highlander-hybrid-now-with-ev-on/ |title=Chicago Auto Show: 2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid, now with EV ONLY mode! |first=Sam |last=Abuelsamid |work=AutoblogGreen |date=7 February 2007 |access-date=17 March 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.jbcarpages.com/toyota/highlander/2008/ |title=2008 Toyota Highlander and Hybrid Review |work=JB car pages |access-date=17 July 2008}}</ref>

The expanded size and new features have led to an increase of 500 pounds to its [[curb weight]]. All Highlander Hybrids are all-wheel drive, and the EPA has rated the hybrid at {{cvt|27|mpgus|L/100 km mpgimp|order=flip}} for the city and {{cvt|25|mpgus|L/100 km mpgimp|order=flip}} for the highway,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.jbcarpages.com/toyota/highlander/2008/specs2/ |title=2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Specs |work=JB car pages |access-date=17 July 2008}}</ref> same as the previous model. The Highlander's fuel economy, while better than the [[Lexus RX 400h]]'s, lags behind the [[compact SUV|compact]] 4cyl [[Ford Escape Hybrid]], which ceased production in 2012, and the latest RX 450h, but still produces significantly fewer emissions than the non-hybrid version with a CARB SULEV rating.

The Highlander Hybrid continues to use the same 3.3-liter ''[[Toyota MZ engine#3MZ-FE|3MZ-FE]]'' V6 ({{cvt|208|hp|kW hp PS|0|order=out}}) offered in AWD from the prior model, net power is {{cvt|235|hp|kW hp PS|0|order=out}}. [[VDIM]] and [[Electronically Controlled Brake]] remain new features include a driver selectable electric only EV mode (when possible) and another ECON mode which restricts acceleration and minimizes air conditioning during acceleration.{{citation needed|date=November 2014}} The Highlander Hybrid Hybrid uses a 1.9 [[kWh]] sealed [[nickel-metal hydride]] traction battery.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://cta.ornl.gov/vtmarketreport/spreadsheets/T33_Batteries_for_Selected_HEV_Vehicles_2013_2014.xls |title=Table 33.

For the 2011 model year the Highlander Hybrid received styling changes and was upgraded with the 3.5-liter ''[[Toyota GR engine#2GR-FXE|2GR-FXE]]'' V6 ({{cvt|245|hp|kW hp PS|0|order=out}}), increasing net power by {{cvt|10|hp|kW hp PS|0|order=out}}, and a powertrain similar to the RX450h.
