When it comes to midsize crossover SUVs, the Toyota Highlander is as good as it gets. The Highlander made its debut in 2001 and was one of the first car-based, midsize SUVs. The third generation of this model was introduced with the 2014 model year. This generation of the Highlander also has the distinction of having been approved for use as a New York City taxicab, which speaks volumes about its reliability even under the most rigorous operating conditions. The Highlander is a great family vehicle with room for up to eight people. The only downside is you may not be able to really enjoy the full effect of the quiet, smooth ride when your backseats are filled with children still too young and inexperienced to appreciate the finer points of quality vehicle performance. Several safety and entertainment options come standard, and even more are available as options. If you’ve been considering a Highlander or SUV purchase, now is the ideal time to visit Toyota of Seattle for a test drive in the 2016 Toyota Highlander, which are being reduced in price to make way for the new 2017 model year.
