Toyota Announces Pricing for New Highlander 'Sport' Midsize Sport Utility Vehicle

TORRANCE, Calif., March 24 -- Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc., announced manufacturer's suggested retail prices (MSRP) today for the all-new Highlander Sport, the latest grade in the popular Highlander midsize sport utility vehicle (SUV) family.

The Highlander Sport adds numerous refined exterior enhancements including unique color-keyed grille with chrome insert, chrome door handles, chrome rear license plate garnish, color-keyed mudguards, fog lamps, chrome exhaust tip, and 17-inch five-spoke aluminum alloy wheels with a high polish finish. Standard interior features include chrome door handles, tilt leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, leather-trimmed shift knob with chrome stalk, and eight-way power driver's seat and 3-in-1 AM/FM/Cassette/CD with six speakers and in-glass antenna. All Highlander Sports will be powered by an impressive 215 horsepower V6 engine.

A standard sport tuned suspension (4WD models only) will also enhance vehicle handling without impacting its legendary ride comfort.

2WD models will carry a base MSRP of $27,765, while 2WD models with third-row seating will start at $28,615. The 4WD models will start at $29,235 and begin at $30,085 for third-row models.

In addition, a new base V6 4WD two-row model will also be available. The new Base model will further improve Highlander's competitiveness in the marketplace by providing an $850 lower price versus a comparable base V6 4WD third-row within the line-up. The new base V6 4WD two-row model will carry an MSRP of $26,990.

The Highlander Sport and new base grade will go on sale in late March.
