2023 Toyota Highlander Trim Levels
The Toyota Highlander is a full-size, 3-row crossover that seats seven or eight depending on the configuration. It’s available in five trim levels with three hybrid trim options available. The base trim is the L, and it steps up to the LE, the XLE, all the way to the range-topping Platinum and Bronze Edition levels.
The base engine is a 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine which delivers 185 horsepower and is upgradeable to a 3.5-liter V6 (standard on all but the base trim), delivering 295 horsepower. Under the hood in the Hybrid models, you will find the 3.5-liter V6 engine paired with a nickel-sealed metal battery, generating a total system horsepower of 306.
L Trim
At the base level, you get a solid suite of luxury and convenience features. These include the Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5+ bundle, which gives you an extra copilot dedicated to helping keep you safe behind the wheel. Features like Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert, and a Pre-Collision System all work together in an integrated fashion to keep you safe on the roads. Infotainment-wise, you get wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, connected to an 8-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth®, four USB charge ports, and six speakers, leaving you to explore your tunes in a new way.
LE Trim
Added features make this trim more fun and convenient. The LED fog lights will light the way with bright intensity at night. This trim also features a leather-trimmed shift knob for a lush feel. When you hit the highway, the included Blind Spot Monitor will help you merge into traffic safely as well.
Hybrid LE
Along with the different engine, this trim includes the Electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission system for smooth acceleration. Exteriorly, you’ll now find mudguards in the front and back. Inside, the instrumentations include the hybrid system power meter as well as the Smart Key System for all doors and a push-button start.
XLE Level

The two 12V power outlets give you more charging options while you’re on the move.
Hybrid XLE
The Toyota Highlander Hybrid XLE features everything as the aforementioned hybrid model and mixes it with the luxury found in the XLE trim. However, this model adds on the Star Safety System™, which includes a suite of performance equipment to ensure further safety on the road specifically engineered for a hybrid model.
