Salinas Toyota Breaks Down Differences Between Two Toyota SUVs

Both vehicles are midsize SUVs offered in six trim levels and have similar exterior dimensions. However, differences in utility, cabin space and seating do exist.

The primary difference between these two SUVs is the intent of their design. The 2018 Toyota 4Runner is built with off-road travel and performance as its primary focus, while the 2018 Toyota Highlander emphasizes comfort and fuel efficiency. The 2018 4Runner offers an available multi-terrain driving mode that optimizes its off-road capabilities, while the 2018 Highlander's optional all-wheel drive system is meant for keeping stable on wet or icy roads.

When it comes to cabin space, the 2018 4Runner and the 2018 Highlander prioritize different areas. Overall, the 2018 Highlander offers more in terms of interior volume, offering 156 cubic feet compared to the 2018 4Runner's 144.5 cubic feet. However, the 2018 4Runner's design has more internal space than the 2018 Highlander for hauling cargo. The 2018 4Runner has a maximum cargo capacity of 89.7 cubic feet, while the 2018 Highlander's maximum cargo capacity is 83.2 cubic feet.

The 2018 Toyota Highlander can seat up to eight passengers, while the 2018 Toyota 4Runner seats up to seven. Optional captain's chairs are available for the 2018 Highlander's second row.
