At the Moscow Motor Show there will be unveiled the new Toyota Highlander 2011, a version for Ukraine and Russian markets. This model will be similar with the facelift prepared for the Unite States.
The new crossover has a dynamic hexagonal grid with triangular headlights. Fog lights are positioned at the bottom of the bumper, which has a modified design compared to the U.S. model.
The new Toyota Highlander will be released in the U.S. market, with about the same look. Highlander is currently built only in three places - China, Japan and USA (Indiana). We still do not know too many technical details, but Europe Toyota confirmed that a hybrid version of the Highlander model will be available on the markets of Russia and Ukraine. We think that the Highlander will have mounted the 3.5-liter V6 gasoline engine, pumping out 273HP, matched to a five-speed automatic transmission. In the States buyers can choose from an I4, V6, or hybrid and front- or all-wheel drive.
Potential customers will see first the new Toyota Highlander at the Moscow Auto Salon (August 25 to September 5, 2010).
