Toyota Highlander vs Ford Escape

Ford EscapeToyota Highlander

The Toyota Highlander has been a handy fallback for the Japanese carmaker. When real SUVs like its own 4Runner were falling out of favor, the plus-sized crossover took up the slack. In two generations, the Highlander took over a lot of jobs, from affordable family wagon to statement-making hybrid.

This year, the 2014 Highlander renews its lease on that space with what Toyota promises is more refinement and strength--and what we sense is some subtle repositioning. For one, Toyota calls the car-based Highlander an SUV, and for two, from the outside, it's made it look more like one than ever.

The Highlander's been reimagined before, from its spartan wagon roots into the current, girthy, second edition. For its third take, the big utility vehicle adopts a new look that owes some of its cues to a slew of competitive vehicles that occupy the grey area between crossovers and SUVs. We see some Durango and X5 in the side view--and oddly enough, lots of Mitsubishi in the maw of its deep new grille and in the exaggerations around its wheel wells and at the sills. The cabin skips that ambiguity--it's all car, and it's directly inspired by the cockpit in the current RAV4. There's some Teutonic-themed dash action, and a pleasing jumble of lines and textures.
