Toyota Highlander

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.

The 2023 Toyota Highlander Hybrid three-row SUV does some things well — namely fuel efficiency and multimedia controls — but misses when it comes to the third row.

Take a look at how the Latch system and each car seat scored in our Car Seat Check of the 2023 Toyota Highlander Hybrid.

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.

Our editors were focused on all-new and redesigned vehicles debuting at the 2023 Chicago Auto Show, and after walking the show floor to see them all, one rose to the top: the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander.

Compared to last year’s results, the 2023 study showed an improvement in the overall dependability of three-year-old cars with an industry average PP100 score of 186, down from 192 in 2022.

The Grand Highlander has a family resemblance to the regular Highlander, but the new SUV’s design is less about bulging styling elements and more about sharper angles and straighter lines.

Toyota didn’t reveal too much about the three-row Grand Highlander, which will debut at the 2023 Chicago Auto Show, besides it being “equipped for family adventures.”

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.
