Good, easy hauler, could have larger openings for easier loading of large items. Bigger storage is good. Nice, comfy interior. Wish gas mileage was better, but is in range of similar vehicles. Overall very happy.

Overpriced & Corners cut

It's a nice car for the right price, but when you have a $53k+ sticker price, put some premium features on it and don't cut corners. Advanced safety features are minimal and premium features aren't so premium (i.e., heated steering wheel is 1/2 heated as top and bottom don't heat), premium audio subpar, chrome rims are actually hubcaps, no frontal collision/parking sensors, climate control auto function doesn't work well, bluetooth connectivity does a poor job connecting with iphone, Entune/Apps don't work (there are workarounds for pandora via B/T connection, but the app in the car doesn't work), GPS confusing, etc.) The gas mileage from the hybrid averages closer to 17 in the City and 22 in the suburbs. I would get over most of the items above for the right price (i.e. new around $40k or $42k vs $50k-$54k). It's a nice car, but not worth a premium price. If technology is important to you, but another car. We should have bought the MDX, Volvo XC90, or the Explorer.

This 2015 Highlander Limited Hybrid Platinum is a great SUV with a Car like ride and great gas Mileage and everything works and the overall condition is like new even with 130,458 Miles on it . I highly recommend this vehicle and I have 4 Toyota’s in my family and I have a 2004 Toyota Four Runner with 378,134 Miles on it and no Engine or Transmission problems and you can’t beat the Toyota Reliability.

This vehicle is not cheap. I think it is very pricey but so far worth every penny. It is very comfortable and easy to drive..smooth ride. If you watch how you drive it gets excellent ⛽️ mileage. I got 34mpg on the ride home from Mammoth mountain. That's with awd and cables on.

Reliable and luxurious

This was the limited trim level and all the little extras really make a difference, like the exterior lighting when you get near it at night , and the nice trinket tray under the dash Delivered a solid 29.7 mpg over 161000 miles including trips to Florida every year at highway speeds. Very comfortable for long trips and the memory position seats makes it easy to change drivers. Others than regular maintenance it gave me no surprise repairs over 10 years I’m buying another one in 2025
