Overview & Reviews

For 2004, a larger 3.3-liter V6 replaces the 3.0-liter engine, resulting in 10 extra horsepower for a total of 230. Additionally, a fold-flat third-row seat (for two passengers) is now optional on base models and standard on the Limited. To keep the extra passengers content in back, a rear DVD entertainment system is available on Limited models. On the safety front, all Highlanders now come with an electronic stability control system and a tire-pressure warning system, while side curtain airbags for the first and second rows are optional across the board. Rounding out the changes are freshened exterior styling, new seat fabric, new instrument and door panel trim and a 5-hp boost for the base four-cylinder engine (now rated at 160).

• Seats up to seven, carlike ride and handling, smooth and powerful V6 engine, fuel-efficient four-cylinder engine, lots of safety features.

• Gets expensive quickly, limited towing and off-road ability, bland personality.

  Toyota Kluger CVX (Toyota Highlander) - 2004 Toyota Highlander
  By dmcdonald - October 26 - 10:00 am

  I purchased as you Americans Call a Highlander and we call it a Kluger in Australia. We have a model which you dont have in the US where its identical to the limited with out the sunroof and Satellite Navigation called CVX. That is what I got. Its a very smooth ride and fabouls offroad. I have been using the vehicle at Australias snow season at the Victorian Snow Fields. Handled snow very well!!! After that, I have travelled to Queenslands beaches. Handled well I opted for the V6 3.3l AWD modeI would only ever recommend this model. Overall a fantastic car to take the kids either to the snow or sand.

  Not What I Expected - 2004 Toyota Highlander
  By KndOne - October 4 - 10:46 pm

  Although the Highlander overall is adequate, its shortfalls are obvious. The gas mileage is terrible, Ive yet to get more than 16 mpg even on the fwy. If you accelerate at the wrong time the trans just winds out while you go nowhere. The seats are the most comfy I found in this genre of car, and the car has alot of pep to it.

  Overall, I am extremely glad I got this car. It was a little more than what I wanted to spend, but all in all, a good quality vehicle.

  Just got it - 2004 Toyota Highlander
  By TrishG - January 11 - 2:00 am

  I just picked up my Highlander today. I traded in a 1999 4Runner with high mileage. So far, so good. I really had my heart set on another 4Runner, but, I really enjoyed the test drive. Its got great pickup a smooth ride and great handling. Im going to ease into it adjusting for the 4Runner- but Im sure it will be a breeze

  Limited Version - 2004 Toyota Highlander
  By cjwiii08 - February 18 - 10:00 pm

  A very comfortable riding vehicle. To me, the limited package is worth the extra coin. Smooth power on demand. The extra gear in the tranny is a drivers delight. My MPG is close to 20. Not great but adequate. No gripes here!
