2023 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Platinum 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

We purchased the 2023 Highlander Platinum AWD Hybrid. The gas mileage started at 28MPG. This is a far cry from EPA ratings but understand there are variables that come into play. That being said, I am now up to 32.6 so it is improving but question if it will ever get better since I have been stuck on this mileage for a while now. The heated seats are weak at best in the winter as are the fan cooled seats in the summer. Very disappointing. The premium sound system is also a disappointment. Just not the dynamic system I expected for Highlander. The seating is OK but for the money we paid, I should have waited for the new Lexus. A much better value, much more comfortable and a much better vehicle in general. I do not recommend this vehicle as a value. We were just too quick to purchase and recommend others to shop around a bit as this is a very crowded category of vehicle. By the way, did I mention I am still waiting for my second ignition key 8 months after I purchased the car. Chip shortage was the excuse. OK, I can be patient but 8 months? That is ridiculous. Keep looking including the Lexus Hybrid which is priced around the same.

Great suv for what I need

2024 Toyota Highlander Hybrid XLE 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

This is a good looking and very practical suv. I have the hybrid Bronze edition. I get about 36 MPG combined while driving in eco mode. It’s roomy in the passenger and 2nd row. The third row is a bit cramped however and made for children under 11 years old to be comfortable. The only downside is that the trunk space is bit small if the 3rd row is in the seated position.

Sluggish 4 cylinder Hybrid

Great vehicle in every way but engine being sluggish. The partnership with BMW on interior seats and finish is comfortable and luxurioius. The underperformance of acceleration with the 4 cyliner non turbo just isn't enough power. The 6 cylinder was better.
Truly fantastic companion

When I replaced my Venza (V6, I really loved that car) with the 2021 Highlander Hybrid in late 2020, I was a bit on the fence: my first hybrid, 4 cylinders "only", SUV rather than crossover, and it was the middle of the pandemic with no deals on new vehicles. This car, however, has truly exceeded my expectations in the little over 3 years of ownership. Sure, the 4 cylinders will make themselves heard a bit in acceleration and the vehicle is less zippy than my previous one (but it is fast for sure). The drive itself, however, will more than compensate for that: it is extremely quiet, well balanced and safe. The vehicle is very spacious, sturdy and well put together. The bells and whistles are abundant, and what little was criticized by experts (e.g. lack of power folding mirrors, position of wireless charger, wireless carplay, etc.) was fixed with the next model year, not that it bothers me. If there are things that I wish were a bit better, the fuel tank capacity would be one of them. I get about 440 miles with a full tank, translating to about 31 MPG since I can only put in 14 gallons. Considering that 80% of my drive is highway (where the hybrid savings effect is much smaller), this is actually a very good MPG. However, the 17.1 gallons of officially disclosed tank capacity are - I believe - from Fantasyland. Even nursing the pump and squeezing as much as possible into the tank, 14 gallons is the max. before it creates a spill. The other thing that I have to accept: the entire front fascia is made of probably softer plastic, and rock chips are all over it. Also, rock chips seem to happen quite quickly in the windshield, not sure why. The last thing: the OEM 12v-battery that came with the vehicle is not best quality (and it appears that this is a known fact). There seems to be a bit of a misconception that a hybrid vehicle should have no 12v-battery issues. In reality, these batteries are probably under a bit more stress than in a non-hybrid vehicle. My recommendation: change it out after 2 years with a high-quality branded battery, or you'll end up with a dead battery at a most inconvenient moment. Despite that, I can definitely only recommend this car (and trim level). Sometimes, I miss my Venza when I see one on the road, but this is just sentimentalism. The Highlander Hybrid is such a pleasure to drive and to own.

Love my Highlander Hybrid AWD Platinum

Love my Highlander Hybrid AWD Platinum! It is comfortable, roomy, luxurious and high tech! Great Gas mileage, solid feel and love the HUD and all the electronic safety features! Bluetooth Apple play is a nice upgrade. Second row captains chairs are very nice with their own heated seat controls and a/c controls, and side curtains for privacy. Third row is small but some extra seating if needed. Plenty of room for storage with third row folded down. And again… really great gas mileage! Great car for long trips, roomy if mainly used as 4 passenger vehicle, with an occasional person or two in the third row. Cons: not many complaints, electronics are sometimes overwhelming, typical toyota factory noisy tires, no easy exit on memory seats, bland front grill design, not any real major issues! This is my second Highlander AWD hybrid platinum. And have it’s little brother a 21 Venza
