Every 2021 Toyota Highlander will use the same powertrain. A 3.5-liter, V-6 engine will be under the hood that will be attached to an eight-speed automatic transmission. It will make 295 horsepower and 263 pound-feet of torque. Front- and all-wheel-drive models of the 2021 Highlander are available and all of them will have very similar fuel economy scores. Both drivetrains can return at least 20 miles per gallon in the city and up to 29 miles per gallon on the highway. Obviously, the hybrid version of the Highlander will get better fuel economy scores and it will be reviewed separately.

Just like previous versions of the Highlander, the 2021 model continues to offer three rows of seats that can hold seven or eight passengers, depending on how the interior is outfitted. The difference in seating capacity comes from a choice between second row captain’s chairs or the standard bench style seat. However, where the 2021 Toyota Highlander will really stand out is cargo space. When any 2021 Highlander is fully loaded with passengers, there will still be 16 cubic-feet of cargo space. Folding the rear seat down will make 48.4 cubic-feet of cargo space available. When the 2021 Highlander is properly configured, a maximum of 84.3 cubic-feet can be used.
