Purchased our Toyota Highlander 4 weeks ago, waiting to get the Title so that we can trade it off on something different and here is why: The info system is a PAIN, drains my Iphone battery in no time.Google Maps is not Nav friendly and needs to be re-booted constantly. Apple Play is not an easy system to learn too many secrets....Moving on...The passenger seat is uncomfortable and does not raise high enough so if you are 5'6" or under, you will be looking at the massive dash and cannot see the hood of the vehicle, as well as if you are the driver, makes parking a challenge.."SoftTex seat material is slippery and cheap feeling...Plastic everywhere....Quad Seats in back are Ok; however, don't depend on the third row seats to carry anything but a small child and I would not put a small child in the back as it is very hard to get a kid out of the back for safety reason third row seats are worthless.....We have averaged 28 MPG on freeways and 22 on City so Toyota got that right, kinda of; nonetheless, just can't see myself doing any traveling in this car comfortably back to Jeep real leather...awesome GPS Nav...See Ya Toyota.

My third Highlander and I couldn’t be happier! Ride is soo comfortable, tech is easy to learn(well, maybe not so much Apple Play but that is probably more user error) and I feel super safe-solid for highway traffic yet easy to park and maneuver.

Great handling and plenty of features. But the engine is now a twin turbo instead of the 3.5 V6. It seemed to deliver the same performance, but I didn't want to deal with a turbo-charged engine Idown the road - or put 1up with a $9,000 mark-up from the dealer - so I bought a used 2020 Highlander instead. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. So far we've put about 15k more miles on it and it has been great, but it shares one problem with all Toyotas to dat: Toyota Entune. Entune is over complicated. The pages in the driver's readout are complicated too, as are some of the steering wheel controls for cruise. The driver and passenger seats don't move back very far, and that could be a problem for long-legged people. But, even with those downsides, it's a great car! I would definitely buy it again.

Palisade and Telluride are so much better

This highlander hasnt had a refresh for 3 years. The front looks like a cheap subaru and the features for all you are paying for is much less than its Korean counterpart. I returned my highlander once i found out that the Palisade has massaging seats, three rows of heated seats, a remote control parking feature found only in 6 figure cars. I switched right away. The new Highlander is also so much louder with its 4 cylinder and with the turbo lag it is so much less smooth than its 6 cylinder 2022 model.

Cargo Too Small

After comparing the cargo space (3 rows of seats) to my current Grand Caravan (3 rows of seats), the space was too small. I decided to go for a Sienna, but the first dealer said 1-2 yrs to get a new one and the second said I had to sell my van in order to get one this year (4 months left). They gave me a lowball offer on my van so I would have had to wait more than six months to possibly get one. I bought a Pacifica.
