The all-new, third-generation 2014 Toyota Highlander made its first public appearance today at the New York Auto Show.

The sophisticated, dynamic exterior design includes a progressive silhouette, a lower roofline for improved aerodynamics, and sculptured side panels, not to mention a redesigned front grille and rear liftgate. The latter offers one-touch power open/close and driver-selectable memory height settings.

Seating up to eight passengers, the new interior of the 2014 Toyota Highlander is quieter and features a soft-touch instrument panel, as well as a multimedia system with 6.1'' touchscreen. Elsewhere, access to the third row is now easier.

Buyers will have a choice of a 3.5L V6 engine with a new six-speed automatic transmission, or a V6-based hybrid powertrain that uses a high-torque electric motor for superior output and efficiency.

The 2014 Toyota Highlander will reach dealer showrooms early next year.
