Two SUVs with some similarities, but otherwise different in most aspects such as the model year, starting price, horsepower, fuel economy, and maximum occupancy. First of all, there is a $4,025 difference in the base MSRP. The 2013 Toyota Highlander, an older vehicle by three model years, has a higher starting price than the 2016 Subaru Outback. Also, the 2013 Highlander has a more powerful engine than the 2016 Outback, and it gets 4.7 fewer miles on a gallon of fuel. And finally, you'll seat two more passengers in the Highlander than in the Outback. Among similarities are the body structure, ground shadow size, and height.
