Skepticism for off-road qualities will add if you look at the car from below. The bottom is quite embossed, which promises troubles on Ughab - Togo and Look, get hooked behind the silencer or a tank.

However, its drawbacks in the mud highlander fully compensates for decent behavior on the asphalt. The car, although it does not boast of passenger controllability, keeps the road well, willingly enters the turns even at the overestimated speed. He, like most American cars, is perfect for travel. Comfortable chairs and rear multi-dimensional suspension allow SUV passengers to relax and forget about the relief of the road.

It is worth mentioning and seven-bed versions - they are also quite a lot in our market. The third row of seats is installed easily and simply - the truth, get to him and accommodate the adult there will be difficult. Children will be happy to pass on the gallery. The windows are large, there is a cosser for a bottle of cola and even its own heating control panel is all for happiness.

Opinion expert

Alexander Anisimov, technical Specialist Japancars

Of course, Highlander can be called unsuccessful, but only from the point of view of the serviceman, since there will not earn a lot on it. Beautiful engines that are not killed even on our roads suspension, good corrosion protection of the body - just a dream. The car will serve as faithfully, but taking into account the two "if". First, when purchasing it in the States, the engine condition should be very carefully carefully. In the field, it is necessary to at least look under the cover of the oil-wave neck: is there a dense layer of "Gutalina"? Everyone knows that the Americans love to ride on the mineral unit and rarely change the oil.

The second "if" concerns the road off-road. Highlander, although outwardly and reminds Land Cruiser.Still noticeably worse adapted to combat "directions". Do not tempt fate and climb into dirt for real "passing". The AKP is most likely your high gusts will not appreciate.

Attention: automatic!

Highlander debuted with basic in line engine 2.4 L (163 hp). Although the unit received flattering service of servicemen, including for the reliable chain drive of the timing, to recommend it can only be calmly balanced drivers. The thrust of this motor is clearly not enough to dynamically move such a heavy car. Therefore, it is not surprising that most of the copies imported from the states had a 3.0-liter motor about 223 "horses". Today, the epithet "proven time" is fully applied to him - such engines were installed including at Toyota Camry, Lexus RX300, and there were never special complaints to it. However, both motor aggregated with not the most successful four-band automatic machine. On vehicles with a three-liter engine 2001-2002. They were just a trouble - they are and then demanded repairs both under warranty (in the USA) and after admission to russian market. They sinned both on the design of the box itself and on the settings of the control unit. However, after a couple of years after the start of the serial issue, the problem disappeared. It is not worthwing to fear today - if the box was "unsuccessful", it was most likely repaired or, which was even more likely, replaced with another aggregate to couple with "brains".

In 2004, Highlander stopped set to a 3.0-liter engine, proposing to lovers of good dynamics to be content with a good 3,3-liter "six", installed to the same with a more modern five-sample ACP. Both aggregates again did not discharge bad fame and with proper care without problems serve 250-300 thousand km. Cases of failure of automata (both old and new) for the most part are associated with attempts by car owners to conquer the next "Pampas". Since, as we have already noted, the off-road abilities of this crossover are rather modest, not every site manages to boost. Attempts to rescue the car from captivity without resorting to someone else's assistance, lead to overheating ACP with all the ensuing consequences.

Do not save on gasoline the most economical motor, of course, it should be recognized as a 2.4-liter. By buying a car with more cubic units, you have to be ready to spend in the city of 14-15 l / 100 km, and with an active ride - up to 20 liters. Many former owners of monolodvy passenger cars Such numbers are not satisfied, and they begin to save using 92nd gasoline. It should be noted that, except for the dynamics, nothing suffers from this - all engines successfully digest even fuel of questionable quality. However, servicemen are recommended not to experiment and use AI-95 with reliable refueling.

The timing belt is preferably not less than once every 100 thousand km. Pump cooling system to this runway usually works without complaints, so it makes sense only when the belt replaces the next time. Butter in the ACP is better updated every 50 thousand km. Mechanical boxes Highlander did not complete in principle.

The elements of the full drive system for a long time do not require replacement. Suspended bearings and crossmen are unlikely to require replacement to 100 thousand km.

The suspension demonstrates excellent reliability. At neat operation, it is possible to drive 150 thousand km and more without substantial replacements in the chassis. Only the stabilizer racks are updated, which are already wearing 50 thousand km, and possibly the support bearings of the front depreciation racks closer to 100 thousand km. The shock absorbers themselves, as well as the levers without problems serve 150-200 thousand km. Even the rear multi-dimensional suspension, which delivers a lot of trouble to owners of cars of other brands, performed by Toyota surprises. Her resource is very impressive.

Note that most of the Toyota Highlander and Lexus Rx suspension pendant parts are interchangeable. However, it is not necessary to buy them blindly - some of the elements of each of the cars are still original.

The minimal package of Highlander includes everything you need - ABS, GUR, electric drive glass and mirrors, air conditioning, two airbags, CD receivers ... With a great desire, you can save the front-wheel drive version. True, the disappointment from such a purchase will be strong after the first snowfall. IN russian conditions Four-wheel drive.

Optionally, the car can be equipped with an anti-test system and course stabilization system, climate control, heated seats, electric hatch. The top version offers leather interior, eight airbags, alloy wheels.

There are many suggestions on the market for Toyota Highlander. This can be seen on any popular announcement site. But when buying it is better to forget the entire positive, which was expressed above, and refer to the assessment of the state of the vehicle is maximal as possible. If the car is reliable, it does not mean that it cannot be broken.

Toyota Highlander 3.0 L ACP (2001 GV)

I traveled for some time on Lexus RX300, so I can easily compare two "twins". With the same volume of the Highlander engine, it is noticeably shrouded - most likely due to other "brains". In addition, the salon and the trunk is spacious, which is important for a family man. Of course, there is no such abundance of electricians, and noise insulation worse. But I quite have enough opportunities Highlander, for which I love him. Not the last role for me also plays reliability - experts repeatedly praised in this respect "American", and my experience suggests that the Highlander content will not be ruined.

Of course, today you can find a lot more beautiful and modern cars SUV segment. But, if you figure it out, Highlander is no worse than them - it has everything you need for a comfortable ride. The design is quite brutal, in contrast to the popular "wraths" now. The powerful engine today also boast a few. True, despite the impressive dynamics, Highlander remains an SUV: lovers drive still better to look after a car. To get the impression of the reliability of the machine, it is enough to go to the forum of its owners or in any profile service.

Toyota Highlander is a medium sized crossover, one of the car family, which are built on the Camry platform. The car uses well-deserved popularity and is considered by drivers as a decent budget analogue of the Lexus RX universal. The history of creation begins in 2000.

The model starts his way from the New York Automotive Show in the early 2000s. In the country of the rising sun, Highlander is known under a different name - Toyota Kluger (with German translates as "reasonable").

The United States and today are the most suitable place to sell this model. Under the name Kluger, the car was sold not only in Japan, but also in Australia. The first generation went to the 5-door or 7-door version. In all countries where the crossover was sold, both options were available. The base unit for all countries has become a four-cylinder engine with a volume of 2.4 liters, which worked with a 4-speed "automatic". Since 2003, in America, the car began to be offered with a six-cylinder engine from the 3MZ-FE series, the volume of which was 3.3 liters and 230 forces.

In Japan, the engine power was reduced - their option was made with a 220-horsepie motor. In the fall of 2004, the world saw the hybrid subspecies of the Toyota Highlander, which was walking along with the engine V6 of 3.3 liters. The hybrid electric motor issued 270 horse power. Since the launch of the car in production, two versions of Toyota Highlander were offered - front-wheel drive And full. Cars with full drive equipped with a special transmission. In the US, sales beat all records. In the period from 2000 to 2007, 800 thousand copies of Toyota Highlander were sold.

The emergence of the second and third generation

Toyota Highlander of the second generation was again built on the Camry platform, but only with a simplified full-wheel drive. Such Toyota appeared before drivers in 2007 on a car show in Chicago. What changed from the emergence of the long-awaited second generation of "Highlanders"? First of all, dimensions increased:

• With 4684 mm, the car stretched up to 4785 millimeters;
• Width increased from 1826 to 1910 mm;
• Highlander rose in height to 1760 mm;
• The wheel base has become 2790 millimeters (it used to be 2715).

Buyers could choose a 5-seater or 7-seater Highlander. The monoprifable modifications of the crossover are not anywhere, as well as hybrid versions (from a six-cylinder engine 3.3 liters. You could go to a 3.5-liter unit). The hybrid motor again bypassed the CIS countries and pleased only the inhabitants on the other side of the ocean.

The states were sold and a weaker Toyota Highlander with a 2.7 liter engine (power of 189 horsepower) with a 6-speed automatic box. And instead of motors V6 3.0 liters and V6 3.3 on the highlanders of the first generation, issued up to 225 horsepower, appeared new Motor V6 3.5, which possessed a capacity of 270 "horses". The production of the second generation car has established not only at the homeland of Toyota Highlander, but also in China, and in the states that remained the main market for the model. For the period from 2007 to 2012, more than 500 thousand Toyota Highlander was sold.

Toyota Highlander II (Restyling 2010)

In 2012, Kopania Toyota declared a decrease in the cost of the lineup Highlander for the Russian market. And in the truth, the price fell by almost 200 thousand rubles. Such a gift from the Japanese was obtained due to the withdrawal of a number of options from the standard equipping Toyota Highlander: three-zone climates-control, leather decoration of chairs, third rows, rails.

Third generation Highlander

Third generation Toyota Highlander was presented in the spring of 2013 on a car show in New York. The model is equipped with motors of 249 and 188 forces, which received a volume of 3.5 and 2.7 liters. On the domestic market are represented only petrol aggregates Highlander. Together with the engine there is a 5-range automatic box. The maximum speed of the weak modification is 180 km / h, and overclocking up to 100 kilometers - 8.2 seconds.

Outcome

The car and today pleases the drivers, he confidently takes top places in the sales ranking. The Japanese tuned to sell 11,000 copies of the crossover this year. And this is quite real, because Highlander history is not over.

Briefly about cars: 2002, 4WD, 3.0 1MZ, Limited equipment, Salon leather, black color. In short, brutal undergoing.

A little prehistory: For 10 years, the official driver's experience and 21 informal stood and traveled on a great multitude of foreign cars, starting with simple audi and golfiki from the mid-80s of the release, ending with modern stamps of different classes and producers of the 2000s.

As a result, a more favorable attitude towards the Japanese auto industry was developed, especially to Toyota and Honda, for their high quality assembly, maintainability and low demanding to themselves constant attention. The reliability of the German auto industry has sunk in the past, from which bright memories are given to Audi 80, Golf2, Audi 100 (44), MV 124 (300TD), Passat B3 1,9D (68 hp, drove half a million, until they overheated), which They were produced in the past century, in which they remained. Good impression Left Toyota Carina II (1990) and Honda Prelude (1995). BMW 520 (1992) and 525D (2002) In the process of possessing them, they visited the silent sadness to their cloud and the cost of the content, which reduced the sensations from a pleasant ride to "no". The French are not even mentioned, the electrician can be crazy with unpredictable and dirty minor failures at the most unnecessary moment. Only Laguna I 2,2d somehow lived for about a year, having finished the replacement of all the shocks and no longer remembering the low fuel consumption.

Review Toyota Highlander 2.4 4WD (Toyota Highlander) 2002

Good day to everyone who reads my feedback. I hope he will help someone when choosing a / m.

In general, chose with a brother dad machine, namely a good parquetnik as a gift for an anniversary of 65 years. Before that, we, since 95, were a Jeep Cherokee (10 years old), then Audi weave, Opel Vectra B 98 years, which at that moment family car And he was on which dad and I traveled. In general, they began to choose a car with a brother, the natural choice was m / at Subaru Forester, honda CR-V, nissan X-Trail and similar options within 25,000 cu But we didn't glue something with us, I didn't lie down for a soul, therefore, therefore, I won't hate these cars hard, but at that time I remember that I was very disappointed :)

As a result of searches, when the mood is already beginning to fall below the plinth, and thought that you would have to take a machine to which the soul does not lie (it seems to be inclined to CR-V), in several salons paid attention to the most recently recently appeared in our market. Maunders Highlanders. They cost 2002 around 27-30 thousand dollars, which creaked his teeth could pull. Compared to the dimensions, amenities, sound insulation and the rest of the highlights of the Highlander with the above-mentioned cars was simply impossible! In those machines, no difference, except for the natural (dimensions, the height of planting, clearance), compared to the same vector, was not at all, and even frankly inferior ... But having drove on Highlander, they were just amazed ... what a vector there, he already stretched Soundproofing, sizes, luggage compartment, convenience of planting both in front and rear, etc., etc. To the brother taurgue, and the difference is 2-3 thousand century compared to those machines! The choice was unambiguous - only Toyota. The engine was needed 2.4, the car for the dad ...

Excellent car: powerful, roomy, reliable. I own Highlander for 7 years, very satisfied. Now mileage 225,000 km - the oil is not driven, only consumables changed for all the time. Excellent review, good permeability, in service inexpensive. I went to the village for 250 km - you do not get tired on the road, 5 km on off-road - there are no problems. If you need a reliable crossover - I recommend.

Toyota Highlander, 2011

Excellent dynamics. The size of the parking lot is not felt, the rear view camera helps. Fast, frisky, do not worry at overturns. Highly high car, do not worry about borders, roads, hitting on tram and other things. Consumption on the highway is generally not large - 8-10 liters. Comfortable ergonomics: with buttons are all right.

Toyota Highlander, 2011

The review will be brief - it was my favorite car, I didn't have a soul in him. He adequately resist the trip to the Carpathians on the ski resort, to the failure of the loaded equipment. On trips to the cottage the family is irreplaceable !!! Hished me my favorite after 1, 5 years of operation. I am sad. ((((I have no limit to mine !!! Now I look closely what to buy instead, until I found a worthy replacement in the same price category. I am two weeks without a hea - the heart freezes when I look at the riding past on the road!
