Highlander is a great car!

What you get in a Lexus you can get similar in a Highlander. Toyota is built to last. Great technology and good design. Love the safety features in this vehicle.

2018 Highlander SE

I purchased this vehicle new, I only have 1,3xx miles on it so far but I am really enjoying it. The exterior design with the SE trim looks really nice with 19" wheels, body color grill and roof rack. I like the dark trimmed headlights and LED DRLs look better on the SE than even the Limited. Inside the seats have extra inserts to break up all of the leather. Driving - I've been taking it easy so far as I'm a firm believer how you treat it during the initial couple thousand miles makes all the difference (this vehicle replaced a 2000 Tahoe with 300k miles) but it seems to have plenty of power for getting on the freeway and for passing when needed. The transmission is smooth, overall vehicle is very quiet and smooth. We have had a couple of snows since I purchased and I would say it is strong and confident on slippery roads with the AWD. I have not used the 3rd row, but it is definitely not for long trips - I haven't seen a 3rd row in an SUV that is though. You need full-time 3rd row, you need a van.

GREAT CAR/GREAT DEALERSHIP

The 2018 Highlander is very refined. It drives smooth and has almost unnoticeable shift points. It looks great pulling up to valet or just sitting in the driveway. great car to own.

Great vehicle

Great vehicle. Smooth ride and handling. Second row captains chairs were great. Good storage capacity. Interior styling is great. Plenty of room for all passengers even in the third row.

Vary easy to use

VAry well handling vehicle. My wife and I enjoy driving our new Toyota Highlander VAry much. The interior controller are well situated for the driver, the Interior has plenty of room for six people or 4 adults and 2 children. I like the reliability of the Toyota reputation. My second Toyota vehicle

Nice suv

I have only had my Highlander for 3 days. Have put about 210 miles on it so far. The SUV rides wonderfully on the highway. It is very quiet and I listened to the radio on low volume most of the way home; almost a 3 hour drive. The interior color is ash, which I truly love. Will not be too hot in the summer. I settled on the predawn gray exterior, since the blue or reds could not be had without black interior. I did a quite a bit of research before deciding on the vehicle. The Toyota comes with more safety features, better fuel economy and better resale than others in this category. I would definitely recommend this SUV.
