Looking for a stylish, bold SUV that can handle everything your busy schedule holds? Meet the new 2023 Toyota Highlander. With an assertive exterior design and a cabin full of luxurious features and finishes, this model has rightfully become one of the most popular SUVs on the market.

Both the second and third rows have a 60/40 split, so your model’s seating and cargo configuration can be changed to fit the day’s needs. Ready to tow your trailer or boat? So is the Toyota Highlander. This capable SUV offers 5,000 pounds of maximum available towing capacity. And whether you’re driving to work or heading out on a road trip, this model will have your back with standard Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5+. Helping you stay aware (while keeping an eye on the road and other drivers around you), these safety and driver assistance features include a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist and more. Make the new 2023 Toyota Highlander your new adventure companion for true peace of mind.

These models have some similar features, but the new 2023 Toyota Highlander clearly comes out on top. If fuel efficiency is a priority for you, then you’ll want to drive home the Toyota Highlander, as it offers better available EPA-estimated mpg than the all-new 2023 Kia Telluride. You can also purchase the Toyota Highlander as a hybrid, while the Kia Telluride doesn’t have a hybrid option. When it comes to torque, the Toyota Highlander wins again, offering 310 pound-feet (as opposed to 262 pound-feet from the Kia Telluride). Step inside either cabin and you’ll find available leather-trimmed seats and standard 60/40 split-folding and reclining third-row seats, which provide the ultimate comfort for you and your passengers. However, if you’re in search of a premium audio experience, the Toyota Highlander has the edge over the Kia Telluride with one extra speaker in its top-tier sound system.


We can’t neglect to mention the fact that the Toyota Highlander comes with no-cost maintenance for 24 months or 25,000 miles (whichever comes first). The Kia Telluride doesn't come with a no-cost maintenance plan. Heard enough? Head over to Cherokee County Toyota to test-drive the new 2023 Toyota Highlander today.
