Off-road car "Toyota Highlander",despite its Japanese origin, it is in active demand not in the domestic, but in the American market. By the way, this paradox in the land of the rising sun is not observed for the first time. There are many examples of how the Japanese develop their cars specifically for the US market. But we will not interfere in these details, but let's move on to the Highlander Toyota off-road vehicle.
Specifications and distinctive designThis car is well known to Americans since 2002. It was then that the first generation of these cars came off the assembly line. But suddenly, after 5 years of successful sales, the company's management decided to close the production of this model. Some time later, in 2008, a new Toyota Highlander (second generation) was born. This time, the developers decided not to limit themselves to the American market and decided to supply cars to Eastern Europe. After 2 years, the new product was officially delivered to Russia, which means that it can be purchased not through “black dealers”.
Внешне автомобиль имеет множество схожих деталей with the younger "sister" called "Camry". In fact, the second generation of SUVs was designed on the basis of it. From here it becomes clear why the car has almost the same grille and slanted headlights as the “donor”. But despite the small plagiarism, in the design of the SUV can be traced unique, purely masculine features. This is evidenced by a massive bumper with chrome inserts and "guns" protivotumanok. The angle of the windshield slightly decreased. So the developers managed not only to give the car a sporty look, but also to reduce aerodynamic drag. High ground clearance and the rapid inclination of the front of the car as if says: "I am ready to conquer any obstacles." Looking at the appearance of the car, you do not immediately notice that this is a crossover, and even more so because the Camry was taken as its basis. Designers really deserve praise - they managed to make a real all-wheel drive SUV out of the urban subcompact.
