According to USA Today, the redesigned 2014 Toyota Highlander has been ranked by Consumer Reports as the best midsize SUV due to its superior fuel economy estimates and large towing capacity.
USA Today says Consumer Reports also listed the Highlander’s handling and friendly multimedia system as factors to the Highlander’s lofty status.
Reuters reports that the Highlander actually took the top two spots in the midsize SUV category, with the Highlander Hybrid coming in first and the standard Highlander taking second.
According to Reuters, the respected consumer group noted the Highlander Hybrid can tow up to 3,500 pounds with combined estimates of 25 mpg, while the standard V-6 Highlander is rated 20 mpg city.
So far, Highlander sales are up 14.9 percent this year to 83,495 through July.
USA Today says the study will be published in Consumer Reports’ October issue.
