Third Generation: 2013-2018
The third-generation Toyota Highlander (XU50, 2013-2018) offered three powertrain options, including a 2.7L inline-4 producing 185 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, and a 3.5L V6 delivering up to 295 hp and 263 lb-ft of torque, upgraded in 2017 with D4-S direct injection and an eight-speed automatic.
The hybrid variant combined the 3.5L V6 with an eCVT (electronically controlled continuously variable transmission) for a total output of 306 hp.
A key innovation for this generation was the introduction of the D4-S fuel system in V6 models, enhancing efficiency and performance.
