The first official pictures of the new Toyota Highlander hit the web a few hours ahead of its debut at the New York Motor Show, showing a handsome SUV that can cause trouble even to Toyota’s own family of utility cars. Underneath they are all basically the same, and this one’s the best-looking, so…

Among the highlights of the new Highlander we can mention the new sculpted head and tail lights that look 3D, a large and imposing front grille, flared wheel arches and black plastic molds that seem to made from high quality materials.

Inside the cabin a small steering wheel like that of the new RAV4 wrapped in leather, digital instruments, and a large display, plus leather upholstery and luxurious trims give the car an air of quality. Space is another good thing about the Highlander. There is tons of it for both the passengers and their cargo.

We’ll have the official specs of the car when they released at New York.
