2023 Toyota Highlander

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and Consumer Reports have released their annual list of recommended vehicles for teens, and the 2024 list offers more safety for less, as used- and new-car prices stabilize.

An increasing number of vehicles with sticker prices of $40,000 or less, some much less, offer heated mirrors.

Toyota is issuing a recall for approximately 751,000 Highlander and Highlander Hybrid SUVs over an issue with the front bumper.

The automaker is expanding a July recall to include an additional 43,000 vehicles, bringing the total number to 153,000.

There are lots of choices among the cheaper-to-buy-and-drive mid-size SUVs that, when properly configured, can safely tow at least 5,000 pounds.

The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L comes in last with an EPA-estimated 21 mpg combined, but it isn’t far behind.

Toyota’s latest recall affects approximately 110,000 of its vehicles and poses a serious safety issue: The airbags may not deploy in the event of a crash.

A new study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has revealed that most mid-size SUVs lack good protection for rear occupants in frontal crashes.

IIHS has released its list of Top Safety Picks for 2023, which includes 48 models across both Top Safety Pick and Top Safety Pick+ categories — less than half compared to the 101 models that qualified in 2022.

While the 2023 Highlander isn’t any quicker than the previous model, it feels sprightly, peppy and responsive; it also doesn’t lose any towing ability, either.
