2019 Toyota Highlander LE vs LE Plus

For the 2019 model year, the Toyota Highlander is available in five distinct trim levels: LE, LE Plus, XLE, SE, and Limited. As with most vehicle lineups, the lower trim levels favor affordable pricing and the higher trim levels favor premium amenities, though all 2019 Highlander trims are competitive in what they have to offer.

Today, we’re going focus on the 2019 Highlander’s two most affordable trims, LE and LE Plus. The LE trim offers a starting MSRP of $31,330. The LE Plus trim’s starting MSRP jumps to $36,260 thanks to additional tech and creature comforts.

Standard and Available Feature Comparison

SUV shoppers concerned with keeping their purchase price affordable may be most interested in the two lowest level trims in the 2019 Toyota Highlander lineup: LE and LE Plus. While both of these trims do forgo some of the premium amenities found in higher trim levels, both should still offer plenty of comfort and connectivity for an enjoyable experience.

All 2019 Highlander models including base LE configurations will come standard with the Toyota Safety Sense active safety bundle. The bundle includes Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Pre-Collision with Pedestrian Detection, and Automatic High Beams. In addition to active safety, the 2019 Highlander LE also offers split-folding rear seats, USB ports throughout the cabin, and a Toyota Entune infotainment system.

Shoppers looking to add a few more creature comforts to their new family hauler can move up to the LE Plus trim. In addition to the features included in the LE trim, LE Plus adds a rear power liftgate for easy loading of cargo, automatic climate control in all three rows, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, upgraded SofTex seats, and an upgraded infotainment suite for added connectivity on the go.
