With the drop-down 9-in. screen
on the available rear-seat DVD
entertainment system, second-row

“Are we there yet?” again.

allows them to make eye contact
with those in back. Located
above the rearview mirror, it also
conceals a storage compartment
for sunglasses.

So does Highlander.

Center Stow™ System

A perfect example of Highlander’s incredible versatility is its Center Stow™
system. Beneath the center console, there’s a Center Stow™ seat you can pull
out, lock in place between the second-row captain’s chairs and fold open. Or
replace it with the Center Stow™ console to hold drinks and smaller items.

Three-Zone Automatic Climate Control

With the three-zone automatic climate control system and air filter found in
Limited and Hybrid Limited, every occupant can ride in total comfort. The
system offers dual zone climate control in the front, a separate second-row
control panel, and vents for the second- and third-row seats, so everyone
can optimize their own cabin environment.

Whether you’re taking the gang to hockey practice or helping your eldest move into their
college dorm, Highlander is up to the task. Within moments, the second- and third-row

seats fold flat, opening up 95.4 cubic feet of cargo space

for all sorts of bulky items.
And there’s stadium seating to enhance the sense of space for those in the second and
third rows. So no matter what you’ve brought along for the ride — passengers, cargo or
both — Highlander handles it all with ease.

With the available power liftgate,
there are two convenient ways
to access the roomy cargo area.
When loading bulky items, open
the entire power liftgate. Or, if
you just have a small item to load,
pop the available lift-up glass
hatch. Either way, you won’t need
to use a key.

Seating for up to Seven

Information Provided by:

Highlander’s 50/50 split third-row seat makes seating for seven not only
possible, but also comfortable. The second-row seat reclines, slides and
features armrests on the outboard seats. Plus, the passenger side has a
one-touch lever that allows you to fold and slide the seats forward to
make access to the third row that much easier.

A growing family’s gear comes in
all shapes and sizes. That’s why
Highlander offers as standard
equipment a 50/50 split third-row
seat. This versatile feature allows
you to transport long or unwieldy
cargo, while still allowing you to
take up to six passengers.
