With the introduction of a fuel-friendly and powerful 4-cylinder model this coming winter, the 2009 Toyota Highlander becomes even more flexible and versatile. Canadians can now look forward to greater savings at the gas pump while enjoying unparalleled performance and segment leading utility in a mid-size crossover.

“With the 2009 Highlander, we are anticipating the needs of Canadians who face rising fuel prices,” explained Warren Orton, Director, Toyota Canada Inc. “So, starting this winter, Toyota introduces a new 4-cylinder model that will offer outstanding fuel efficiency without sacrificing power and amenities that Canadian drivers expect in a mid-size crossover vehicle.”

The 2.7 litre 4-cylinder engine delivers outstanding fuel efficiency plus an impressive 187 horsepower at 5,800 RPM and 186 lb-ft of torque at 4,100 RPM. The 4-cylinder model is mated to an all-new six-speed electronically-controlled automatic transmission with intelligence (ECT-i) to deliver V6-like performance. It remains crossover-capable with a remarkable towing capacity of 1,588 kg (3,500 lbs). Moreover, with great options available, such as a power driver seat, rear air conditioning, roof rack, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and more, Canadians have even more reason to look to fuel efficient choices that meet their needs.

One of those choices is the 2009 Toyota Highlander 4WD V6, currently on sale across Canada. The Toyota Highlander 4WD V6 comes in three powerful and versatile grades, including base, Sport and Limited, and features even more convenient standard equipment, such as: 3.5″ LCD display with back-up camera, a power rear door with jam protection, flip-up rear glass hatch, eight-way power driver’s seat, premium cloth seat surfaces, in-dash six-disc CD changer, and fog lamps. The Highlander 4WD V6 may also be ordered with a newly available Leather Package, which adds leather seats, heated driver and front passenger seats, and an Automatic Headlamp System.
