Great SUV but I wish it had more tech

Recently bought a 2024 hybrid limited after my 2023 Hyundai palisade SEL prem awd was totaled. Definitely noticed a difference while both vehicles drove comfortably. Here's where they differ... Highlander has great fuel economy better than obvythe v6 the Hyundai had. But since it is a 4 cyl you lack in power. Right now averages about 34 mpg which I'm happy about compared to about 23mpg was getting on the palisade. The tech. This is where I feel Toyota lacks in. For the price I paid for the Palisade Sel awd premium package I feel I got more value as tech. From the heated and ventilation first and second row seats from the drivers assist 2 and the side view turn signal cameras. Lane change assist. And just configuration of settting up all the features the Hyundai is better. We had to purchase a highlander limited model just to get 360 camera view which I have to admit is impressive compared to the palisade 360 camera. But also to get heated and ventilation front only seats. The second row does not have either. The third row does not have usb-c as opposed to the palisade as it does. But I do like that Toyota have wireless Apple car play as the palisade does not. The 11 speaker jbl in the Toyota is definitely better than the Hyundai's Harmon kardon 12 speaker is not that great. Easy use of the folding seats in the Hyundai is better than the toyota, Hyundai has an easy 3rd row pull down to fold and a 1 touch button to fold the second row from the back as well as when you want to enter the 3 town from the row. Toyota you have to kinda struggle with the latches to move. And as far as third row obviously the third row is smaller and I know I could have gotten the grand Highlander but could not wait 4 months for one and refuse to pay a markup. But overall the suv is a great vehicle for my family I remind myself that it's a still a Toyota and it's a great quality car that will last for many years to come. If I had an extra car to use I would have waited for the grand highlander for the space. But those still lacks the technology that the palisade had. Also palisade needs to get in the game and make a hybrid version too. I definitely recommend this car to anyone despite a few things. Can't argue Toyota has it down when it comes to hybrids

The turbo 4 cyl. is not enough of a difference in power or economy to be worth the change. The Hybrid part does little for power and is only fuel efficient if you do mostly city driving and drive daily, the batteries don't like sitting around and not cycling with the charger.

I looked at all the midsize SUVs out there, test drove all the ones that were available. No other SUV could come close to the Highlander hybrid using my personal criteria; apparently the "experts" at this website use a pretty broad brush and assume that everyone is looking for the exact same thing. But they're not.

Perfect family vehicle

This vehicle handles so well its easy to forget how big it is! It is easier to park than other comparably sized SUV's and comes with so many safety features. The comfort, the looks, the technology, the safety, and the gas mileage you want combined with Toyota reputation for reliability. This is my fourth Highlander, only because my last one was totalled. They last for years, even at 200, 000 miles was more reliable than our friends new cars! Why doesn't everyone buy Toyota?

This is my first hybrid and I absolutely love everything about it. It's as smooth as butter. I have the 12.3 screen and it is so user friendly. It is super easy to handle, it just glides. I'm getting about 40mpg which for me is terrific. There was a long wait time for this vehicle but it was worth it.
