2023 Toyota Highlander Sales in Corpus Christi, TX

The 2023 Toyota Highlander has no major changes on the surface. Instead, it got a newer, cleaner, and torquier engine in the shape of a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. The new engine offers less power but more torque at a lower rev band, enhancing the overall driving experience. You can also have a 12.3-inch screen upgrade for the infotainment system and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster as options for 2023.

The 2023 Highlander is offered with six trim levels.

• L
• LE
• XLE
• XSE
• Limited

Choosing an L variant doesn't mean you skimp on features or receive a barebones vehicle. However, if you want a premium experience with the JBL sound system and leather-upholstered seats, to name a few things, consider venturing towards the Limited or Platinum trim.

So check out the 2023 Highlander at Mike Shaw Toyota in Corpus Christi, TX. Contact the dealership staff, and they'll be glad to answer all your questions, show you around the dealership's inventory, and arrange a test drive.
