Toyota has made all-wheel drive (AWD) standard across every 2026 Highlander trim. This three-row SUV delivers a versatile blend of comfort and capability, making it well-suited for both daily driving and outdoor adventures. The AWD system works in harmony with a turbocharged engine and automatic transmission, giving the Highlander confident performance in a wide range of conditions.

Your Highlander, RAV4 or Crossover trim may come with an All-Wheel Drive or have it as an add-on feature. If it does, you'll want to be familiar with the All-Wheel Drive Lock Button on your new model. It's often all that's standing between staying stuck or driving away with ease. AWD Lock is designed for low-speed, slippery conditions like snow, mud, or sand. If you're stuck in the snow or mud, this little button can lock on your AWD and give you the extreme power you need to free yourself!
