2017 Toyota Highlander Performance and Engine

V6 Power With Everyday Efficiency

Under the hood sits Toyota's proven 3.5-liter V6 engine paired with a smooth 8-speed automatic transmission. This combination delivers strong, confident power — the V6 produces around 295 horsepower — making merging onto the I-5 or I-15 effortless. The 8-speed automatic keeps the engine in its ideal power band, contributing to responsive acceleration and better highway fuel efficiency compared to the older 6-speed units. This particular Highlander is configured as a front-wheel-drive (2WD) model, which is perfectly suited for Southern California driving conditions and shaves a bit off fuel costs compared to AWD variants.
 

Toyota Highlander LE Plus Features and Interior

What the LE Plus Trim Brings to the Table

The LE Plus trim steps up meaningfully from the base LE, adding features that make a real difference in daily ownership. Buyers typically get an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Entune, a power liftgate for hands-free cargo access, tri-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. The three-row layout can seat up to eight passengers, making it ideal for larger families or carpooling. The second-row captain's chairs found on the LE Plus make passenger access to the third row easy, and the overall cabin feel is quiet and well-insulated — a signature Toyota quality trait.
 

Toyota Highlander Reliability and Ownership

One of the Most Dependable Three-Row SUVs You Can Buy

The 2017 Toyota Highlander consistently earns high marks from owners and automotive analysts alike. J.D. Power has repeatedly rated the Highlander above average in quality and dependability, and Consumer Reports recommends it as one of the better used mid-size SUV buys. The 3.5-liter V6 in this generation is a well-proven motor with minimal known issues. Common ownership notes center around routine maintenance — brakes, tires, and fluid services — rather than major mechanical failures. If service records are available, they're worth reviewing, but this engine and transmission combo is known to hold up well at 100K and beyond when maintained properly.
