Somewhat menacing face. Complex surfacing of the body side. Somewhat muscular fenders and strong shoulder. Paint is a dark blue, not black.
Square wheel openings with unpainted black trim say this is a truck. But it's actually a tall car. Body side S-Curve resembles those on the new Supra and the Sienna minivan.
Most upscale Highlander interior yet. Plenty of soft stitched surfaces to go with the chunky trim. Two storage shelves built into the instrument panel.
Second row comfortable if back far enough to stretch legs, but must slide forward for third row. Third-row seat can hold three people in a squeeze, but cramped like most in crossovers this size.
Not much cargo space behind third-row seat. Luggage for a family will fit with the third-row seat folded.
Excellent cargo volume for a vehicle this size. Wide flat floor between minimal wheel wells. Orange cover for the high-voltage cable.
