Here’s an overview of the pet-ready features you’ll find in this vehicle when you test-drive it at Toyota Chula Vista.

Pet Room

This Toyota SUV has all the space you need for every passenger, human or otherwise. With seating for up to eight people and a maximum passenger volume of 139.5 cubic feet, you and your pet have plenty of space to ride. This model features up to 84.3 cubic feet of cargo space, with 16 cubic feet behind the third row to give your pet plenty of room in the back.

Pet Comfort

Keeping your pet comfortable on the road is essential, and the 2025 Toyota Highlander has all the features you need to help them relax. The standard three-zone automatic climate control system lets you keep your pets as warm as they need to be while cooling off the front seats. Meanwhile, the available cargo area tonneau cover gives your pet plenty of shade when the sun’s out.

Pet Accessories

You can accessorize your new Toyota Highlander to better suit your pet lifestyle. A folding dog ramp, for example, helps your dog easily get in and out of the vehicle. You can also keep your pets secure with a dog car harness, which straps them into the vehicle while it’s in motion.
