I upgraded to the Highlander Hybrid from the Prius because I wanted more space, I was tired of crouching soooo low to get into the Prius, as well as tired of bending over to get things in and out of the car. The 2020 Highlander Hybrid is indeed beautiful and well designed. It feels luxurious. I love the second row bucket seats and the surprisingly roomy third row seats. However, the ride for both the driver and passengers is nauseating. It feels like the wheels are in a weird place, offsetting the overall balance of the car. Have you been on a 747 with the wind blowing like crazy? That's what the driving experience of the Highlander feels like... you are gliding with only a little control. The body kind of sways while you're driving, especially at low speeds. It's discomforting. You feel zero connection to the road which some people like. I now realize that's what I did like about the Prius (and my previous non-Toyota vehicles) - you feel a direct connection from the steering wheel to your feet to the road. You don't get that with the Highlander. If you like the feeling of driving a marshmallow with mushy brakes and chronic nausea then this car is for you. I'm personally counting the days until my lease expires.

As a lease-to-buy soon to be owner of a 2016 Highlander XLE 6-cylinder (gas) vehicle, I was excited to turn my 2016 in, and buy a 2020 Highlander Hybrid. Although happy with some improvements, i.e. the rear of the 2020 is more linear and less pinched as well as increased cargo space/increased length, I was unhappy with the following: 1. They have removed the rear window pop-up option. This was so convenient for putting items in the back cargo area without having to raise the rear gate. 2. Overall handling not as nice as the 2016. 3. Buttons and interior seem cheaper than the 2016. 4. It is not offered in jade metallic (green) - a no-no for a hybrid car! 5. Although a price of roughly $44K makes it fairly competitive when compared to other, costlier hybrid SUVs, Toyota is not offering 0% financing at this time - tough for people with financial insecurity due to COVID-19. Together with the fact that I was over the mileage allocation on my 2016 + other potential penalties, I had no choice but to buy my old 2016 instead of buying new. I will wait for a better sport utility vehicle to be produced. If it is the Highlander (in a few years), with all of these missing features, then I will be very happy.

I’ve had my car (XLE hybrid) for about 3 months now and I still love it. It’s probably my best major purchase in the past decade. Pluses: * It gets good mileage (34.4 and climbing with mostly city/suburban drives). * It drives smoothly and very quietly, which is a noticeable contrast from my previous Subaru Outback. * It’s roomy- we’ve used the third row a few times now successfully, and when folding the third row you get huge trunk space. * I also like the easy switching from Eco mode, which I use most of the time, to sports mode when merging into a highway. Minuses: * At least the XLE doesn’t come with a hitch, which I was surprised by given its size. Installing one would cost about $1000 including labor. * No seat memory in the XLE and below, but wasn’t worth the steep price difference to get the Limited * We’ve had a few glitches with AirPlay and Bluetooth, though mostly they work just fine. That said, those are relatively minor things for me at least.

Needs Rebadging as a Yaris

This 2020 is my fourth Highlander and it ain’t the same car. Toyota pulled a fast one and downgraded with cheap interior plastics, intrusive road noise and extremely loud 4cyl engine. Softex seats just another way of saying cheap. Radio has almost no bass. Pop up back window is gone too. If it was a Yaris at least I would have been warned. These money saving techniques are a bad move for Toyota.
