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.

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.

My 4th Highlander in the past 23 years. I like everything about this one, as has been true with all I have owned. The updated features in this 25 Grand Highlander are taking some getting used to, but once I figured them out,, they are very easy to use. I particularly like the large screen on the media platform and having Apple Car Play for my first time. I also am impressed with the acceleration available when going up hills, or merging into traffic on a freeway. The only thing I would change if I could have is to buy the hybrid model to get better gas milage. However, after a very long search to find a limited model with a bench back seat (which the one I bought has), we could not find a hybrid with a bench seat.

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.
