For those who love powerful rides, the Toyota Highlander has some exciting options. You can choose between a 2.4L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine or a 2.5L 4-cylinder hybrid engine, both available with all-wheel drive. This promises thrilling drives on the roads of Fishkill.
On the flip side, the Hyundai Palisade comes with a 3.8L V-6 engine, packing slightly more horsepower at 291 hp compared to the Highlander’s 265 hp. However, the Highlander wins in torque with 310 lb-ft compared to the Palisade’s 262 lb-ft. Notably, the Highlander also offers a hybrid version, a feature the Palisade doesn’t have.
In terms of fuel efficiency, the Toyota Highlander takes the lead with its hybrid and conventional drivetrains, offering 22/29 city/highway mpg compared to the Palisade’s 19/24 city/highway mpg.
