[E family overseas report] According to the plan, at the New York International Auto Show that will open next week, Toyota will officially launch the fourth-generation Highlander. Before the official debut of the new car, some foreign media exposed a set of preview pictures of the new generation of Highlander.
Judging from the released pictures, the preview of the new generation of Highlander is a 3D virtual construction effect. On the whole, the new car still retains a shape similar to the current model. In order to meet the seating space of the third-row passengers, the body has become the center of gravity of the vehicle’s side visual proportions. The roof still adopts a relatively low construction method to refine the overall sense of slenderness. Compared with the current model, the design of the window frame line has changed to a certain extent, and the position of the D-pillar has been raised slightly to balance the overall slenderness of the vehicle. The upper window frame lines also shape the D-pillar into a floating effect.
In terms of feature details, the body shape of the new-generation Highlander is obviously endowed with more changes, and the three-dimensional and sculptural sense created by the changes in the shape is more in place than the current model. The image of the front of the car is still difficult to detect, but judging from the effect of the side view, the new car will continue the design concept of the American version of Toyota, with a trapezoidal big mouth forming the main body.
According to the currently known information, the new generation of Highlander will be built based on the mid-level car platform under the TNGA architecture, and in terms of power, it will also tend to be more hybrid-powered.
