Terrible Turbo Lag

I owned a 2017 Highlander with the V6, and it produced a very smooth comfortable ride. I test drove the 2024 XSE recently and was highly disappointed with the turbo V4. Why would a company like Toyota put this crap engine in their cars? First of all, the turbo lag is awful, and the engine is very loud. I drove the vehicle into heavy traffic and was nervous because there was very little power after I hit the throttle. The performance is fine once the vehicle gets going, but from a stop it isn't so pleasant. Second, a vehicle that costs nearly 50k should have real leather and a panoramic sunroof as opposed to Softex and a moonroof. Toyota, if you're reading these reviews, you must do better or risk losing your reputation. This car is unacceptable.

Within the first month we had to replace the hood gasket. It blew loose going down the highway. With only 8000 miles the AC went. Discovered a leaky seal which was from the build. Third row seat is absolutely horrendous. There is no room at all for adults to sit back there. I find the vehicle very loud with the windows closed. The radio is sub par. It seems like the speakers are too small for the car. Electronics are confusing and hard to navigate.

Hey my name is Prabhakar, Just want to share disappointing experience I recently had with my dream car purchase Toyota Highlander-2024. I bought $50K car and sales team was in so hurry to close transaction before their deadline of Dec’23 and didn’t allow sufficient/peaceful time to tick checkbox of my list, I accept my big mistake here, I didn’t take test drive on highway to check car performance. Now, from Day1, new highlander 2024 having problems with excessive wind noise and “ unbearable” air pressure in cabin with speed 45+mph (unbearable with speed 70+mph). I had 2 test drive with technician and both of them agreed for wind noise and “ unbearable” air pressure in cabin, they requested me to drop car for 4 hrs. To my surprise, after completion of service, I was told this is normalcy and we didn’t find any issue. Topmost, they told Toyota rejected request and when I reached to Toyota, BEC told me dealer didn’t find any issue and that is reason Toyota rejected the case. Who is untruthful- can’t say 😂 My selling dealer service manager says this normalcy with toyota designed“Aerodynamics” and they don’t know where wind leak failing there super “ Aerodynamics”. I offered out of pocket fix if any too for 2 week old brand new car😂 I won’t recommend this car or at least have a full test drive and please go with trustworthy (who won’t lie) dealer. Toyota doesn’t care for their customers for sure so don’t go with fake pride and big brand name.

Just purchased the 2024 Highlander XLE. The interior is not impressive at all. The info system icons are dull and hard to navigate. The upholstery on the back of my second row seats looks really bad. The vehicle drives and rides great.

I have always loved Toyota but this Highlander has ruined me of ever owning a Toyota again, I will never own another one. This is so cheap made that it makes me sick, the cup holders are made of cheap plastic that folds up and down for an example. I constantly have little things break (can’t even count how many things have broke) which is annoying when they’re as expensive as they are. I love the 3rd row but it’s an absolute joke because the 3rd row or second row has to give up leg room, it’s a tiny fit. Gas mileage isn’t even close to impressive either. The only reason for 2 stars is because it does run decent and I am thankful for that.
