The 2026 Toyota Highlander delivers what Auburn–Opelika families need: versatile three-row seating, standard safety features, and efficiency options for daily life. At Allen Turner Toyota of Auburn, we’re seeing strong interest from parents who value the Highlander’s proven reliability and Toyota’s comprehensive safety technology.
The 7-seater Toyota Highlander provides space that grows with your family. Seating for up to eight passengers (with the available second-row bench) means carpools and family outings happen comfortably. When you fold those rows down, you get 84.3 cubic feet of cargo space. That accommodates everything from sports gear to vacation luggage.
Every trim includes Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+ as standard equipment. You get adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring, and automatic high beams protecting your family on every drive. Standard AWD across all configurations handles Alabama weather year-round.
The 2026 Toyota Highlander hybrid delivers 35 MPG combined. That’s an 11 MPG advantage over gas models, which translates to real savings at the pump. Towing capacity reaches 5,000 pounds on gas models and 3,500 pounds on hybrids, making the Highlander capable for families and weekend gear.
