The Highlander hits a sweet spot: three rows of seats, SUV comfort and a smooth ride. Here’s what it’s best for and how to hire one.
The Toyota Highlander has quietly become one of the most popular family SUVs on Ghana’s roads, and it’s easy to see why. It offers three rows of seats and room for seven, the comfort and smooth ride of a car, and the presence and space of an SUV — without the firm, utilitarian feel of a hardcore 4x4. For families and small groups who spend most of their time on tarmac and good roads, it’s close to ideal.
The Highlander is a mid-to-large 7-seat SUV built for comfort. Where a Fortuner is a rugged body-on-frame 4x4, the Highlander is a smoother, more refined crossover — quieter, more comfortable on the road, and roomier inside for passengers. It handles light rough roads perfectly well, but its real home is comfortable family and group travel.
Both seat seven, so the choice is about comfort versus capability. The Highlander is smoother and more refined — better for tarmac, the city and comfortable family trips. The Fortuner is a tougher body-on-frame 4x4 — better for rough, upcountry and off-road use. If your trip stays mostly on good roads, the Highlander is the more comfortable choice; if it heads into rough terrain, choose the Fortuner.
The Highlander sits in the SUV class and is available self-drive or with a driver, from around GH₵ 1,300/day with a driver (self-drive on request), before fuel and deposit. Weekly and monthly rates are lower. See the full fleet on our rates page.
