Perfect SUV for family of 4

The Highlander is comfortable no matter if you are driving, riding passenger, or in the 2nd row captain chair. (I?ve never sat in the 3rd row, but my kids beg to sit there!) There?s plenty of room for cargo, but it isn?t so big that I feel uncomfortable driving it. Plenty of USB ports, cup holders, storage spaces, etc. Favorite small features include: heated steering wheel, sun shades in 2nd row, large console, & back glass opens for quick access to cargo area. I love everything about it!

Very comfortable and great ride:

This is our second Highlander and sixth Toyota. They keep getting better. The latest Highlander is for my wife. We bought a model with defensive driving aids.

Great vehicle

At this point I am very impressed with the power of the V 6 engine. The interior lay out is great. The backup camera is a lot brighter then some other of vehicle that I tested.

I?m in love!

I?ve had my Highlander about 1 week and I couldn?t be happier. It?s such a smooth ride. It feels like it floats over the road. The seats are comfortable and easily adjusted. The safety features are very reassuring since this is the vehicle I transport my children in. I love that the middle row has captains chairs allowing the children some personal space and that the third row is optional. I like it folded down for the extra cargo space most of the time, but it gives the easy option to add passengers whenever I like. I highly recommend this vehicle to those looking for a solid, comfortable family vehicle.

Great safety features

Super reliable SUV. Roomy interior although limited back space if third row seat is up. Excellent standard safety features such as lane warning and assisted braking. AWD a plus and the v6 delivers enough power to satisfy.

Great family vehicle

We love all of the safety features in our new Toyota Highlander. It has lots of room, comfortable and has very flexible seating. It is a great family vehicle.

A car priced fairly but a car that give you more.

I fell in the love with the car at first sight. Once inside the car and reviewing the specs the car was mine. The color celestial gray gives off a calmness in its self. The drive is exceptional but I cannot wait to sit in the 2nd row there's so much leg room.

our xle highlander, 2018

we love our new purchase. it has many features for these buyers. however, i now wonder if the cheapest highlander would have served our needs. we are concerned about service after the sale from the dealership through which we made our purchase.
