Toyota Highlander
Entirely revised in 2008, the Toyota Highlander is back in 2010 without much change. Accommodating seven people, the basic version of this utility vehicle comes equipped with a 187 horsepower four-cylinder engine (2.7 litres) with front-wheel drive. To get all-wheel drive, you necessarily have to opt for a V6 engine: the 3.5-litre produces 270 horsepower and the 3.3-litre, coupled with an electric engine, produces 209 (Highlander Hybrid). The Highlander’s resale value is unshakeable.
