The 2023 Toyota Highlander Adds a Turbo, Drops the V6

• Toyota replaces the outgoing V6 with a 2.4-liter turbocharged I4 that makes 265 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque.

• This new engine makes 30 fewer horsepower than the outgoing V6 but makes 47 lb-ft more torque.

• Toyota says you can expect to see the 2023 Highlander at dealers later this month.

The Toyota Highlander entered its fourth generation in 2019 with a radical redesign. Powering this fourth-gen Highlander was either a hybrid powertrain or a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6. For the 2023 model year, the Highlander is swapping the V6 for a turbocharged 2.4-liter I4 and a new base price.
