The 2018 Highlander in Greenville is Blazing New Trails

Nov 28, 2017

Toyota was founded in 1937, which means that they have been involved in the automotive industry for 80 years. As of 2016, they were the largest automotive manufacturer in the world. In other words, the team at Toyota is clearly well versed when it comes to producing quality vehicles, and the 2018 Toyota Highlander is no exception. If you are in the market to purchase or lease a midsize crossover SUV that can seat up to eight passengers, then the 2018 Highlander should definitely be at the top of your list. This newest model of the Highlander comes with some unique new features that will make any cross-country family road trip that much more enjoyable.

Power For All

If you have ever had the pleasure of being in the car with your young teenagers for an extended period of time, then you will know just how crucial it is that they keep their smart phones charged and easily accessible for all the tweeting, snap chatting, and texting that they can possibly muster. In the 2018 Highlander, running out of charge is a fear of the past. Each model comes standard with five USB ports, three up front and two in the rear, so you’ll never have to worry about any of your electronic devices dying on you ever again. The plentiful USB ports are not the only feature that sets the 2018 Highlander apart from the rest.

Innovation at It’s Finest

This midsize crossover comes equipped with some of the most innovative technology that Toyota has to offer. The Highlanders that have a gas-powered V6 under the hood also have the Stop and Start Engine System (S&S), which allows the engine to turn off when your vehicle is at rest. This feature will save you more fuel by shutting the engine off when you find yourself idling at a stoplight. When the light turns green, simply release your foot from the brake pedal, and the engine will restart so you can continue forward. The 2018 Highlander also comes with Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC). Using a camera mounted on the front grille and an in-vehicle camera, your Highlander will be able to adjust your speed when you are using cruise control based on how fast cars in front of you are moving. The DRCC feature will automatically reduce your speed if it detects that a car in front of you is traveling at a slower pace. These additions along with a slew of other safety features make the 2018 Highlander an incredibly safe option for those of you looking for a family vehicle.

Keep All of Your Precious Cargo Safe

In fact the inside of the 2018 Highlander is just as safe as the outside. This Highlander comes with an Advanced Airbag System that is comprised of a whopping eight airbags in order to ensure that all precious cargo is safe. The 2018 Highlander also comes with an additional safety measure called LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren). This feature provides additional ways to secure those members of your family that must sit in a car seat. These anchors and tethers are located on all of the second row seats and also on the middle seat of the third row.
