Also, you can add an illuminated entry lighting feature that is overhead as you enter the vehicle, right-way power driver seat, leatherette appointed seating, heated front seat, and both second and third-row split-folding seats. On the Highlander, the seats are fabric-trimmed unless you upgrade to a higher trim line. The Toyota also has a three-zone climate control system, but it has a regular air filter and you get the map lights with no illuminated lighting. The second and third-row seats do split, however, the third row does not do a 50/50 split, instead doing the same 60/40 as the second row. There is no intelligent key entry feature with the Toyota either.

On the Toyota Highlander, you get almost the same engine type, but it comes with an eight-speed automatic transmission that is electronically controlled without the extra advancements.
