The 2011 Highlander base model comes with a 2.7-liter, 187-horsepower four-cylinder engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. SE and Limited models upgrade to a 3.5-liter V6 engine that puts out 270 horsepower and is paired with a five-speed automatic. Reviewers largely prefer the extra power of the V6 engine even though it provides worse fuel economy.
According to the EPA, four-cylinder models achieve 20/25 mpg city/highway. Two-wheel drive V6 models achieve a less impressive 18/24 mpg city/highway, while 4WD V6 models achieve 17/22 mpg.
Most find the Highlander has car-like manners and a soft ride. However, the Highlander's steering is a low point because of its numb feel.
