Unique to Highlander XSE is a sport-tuned suspension that lets it hug the road a little tighter. Compared to other grades, its retuned shock absorbers, high-rate springs and rear stabilizer bar give you enhanced handling on the road, while its lower, athletic stance shows everyone that it’s ready to hit the ground running.
Enjoy an upgrade in all-wheel-drive performance. Available Dynamic Torque Vectoring All-Wheel Drive (TV-AWD) improves responsiveness and stability by sending up to 50 percent of the power to the rear and then further distributing more power to the wheel that needs it. *
