To make the interior feel even more open, a power moonroof is also available. While this brightens things up, it does have a small impact on the driver and front passenger’s headroom. However, with 39.6 inches of front headroom, there’s still plenty of space for tall drivers.
Likewise, a panoramic moonroof is also offered to let even more light in. With this option, you’ll have 38.4 inches of headroom in the front and 37.1 inches in the second row.
Interior Amenities
It’s easy to hop into the 2021 Highlander thanks to a Smart Key System that lets you open the doors and the tailgate while the keys are still in your pocket. You can also hit the road in a hurry with Push Button Start.
You’ll have a few options for your passengers too. The 60/40 split second-row bench seats can fold forward and slide to help passengers get to the backseats. If you’d prefer the cabin to have a convenient center aisle, you can choose to go with a pair of captain’s chairs instead.
The Toyota Highlander is designed to keep everyone comfortable. Some of the great amenities that it offers include:
- 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with power lumbar support
- 4-way power-adjustable front passenger’s seat
- Three-zone automatic climate control
- Heated and ventilated front seats
- Heated second-row seats
You can also warm your hands up on a cold day with a heated steering wheel. Plus, to make sure everyone can enjoy their favorite beverage, the Highlander includes eight cupholders and four bottle holders.
Cabin Design Options
On top of all the great features that the Toyota Highlander has to offer, you can expect to find a stylish cabin too. Cloth seats come standard, but SofTex® and leather upholstery are also available. You can also give the interior the appearance of a luxury SUV with classy touches, like a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear shifter.
Subtle colors are available throughout the interior, including gray, black, and beige. Select trims offer diamond stitching in refined caramel shades, while others feature a bold black and red 2-tone design that makes your SUV look like a sports car.
User-Friendly Infotainment System
The 2021 Toyota Highlander also offers the latest technology. From streaming music to safely making hands-free calls, you’ll find everything you need on the standard 8-inch touchscreen. It includes the following features on every trim level:
- Bluetooth®
- Apple CarPlay®
- Android Auto™
- SiriusXM®
- Wi-Fi Connect
To keep everyone’s phone charged, the Highlander offers five USB ports, a pair of 12-volt outlets, and a Qi-compatible wireless phone charger.
While the Wi-Fi hotspot helps you stay connected wherever you go, the available Dynamic Navigation can guide you every step of the way. It offers turn-by-turn directions and maps that show your route in real time.
To see where your next turn is coming up, you can either look at the available 12.3-inch touchscreen or the 10-inch color Head-Up Display (HUD). The HUD puts information of your drive directly in your line of sight. Just below that, you’ll find a high-tech instrument cluster. This 7-inch LCD Multi-Information Display lets you see all your specs in one spot.
Whether you’re on a long drive or just heading to work, you’ll be able to hear everything loud and clear with the JBL® audio system. It features 11 speakers and a subwoofer. You can even use those speakers to get your passengers attention. Driver Easy Speak lets you use a microphone and the rear speakers to talk to your backseat passengers without having to raise your voice.
Safe & Secure Interior
The Toyota Highlander also sports technology that can help prevent accidents. For example, your dashboard monitor offers extra visibility with an integrated backup camera. It comes standard and even includes projected path guidelines on the display. To see more of what’s around your SUV, you can add a Bird’s Eye View Camera too. This uses a series of cameras to create a 360-degree overhead view.
You’ll be well protected if you’re ever in an accident too. The second and third rows come with Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH), while every seat includes Automatic/Emergency Locking Retractors on the seatbelts. The interior is also lined with eight airbags, including:
