Stylish, reliable SUV

The 2019 Highlander is excellent. The 2nd row captains chairs were a major selling point; comfortably fitting our two high school aged sons and large dog. Tons of tech, only thing missing is a 'front view' camera to help with parallel parking proximity. Only owned for 1 month, so impossible to comment on reliability, but no foreseeable issues. Highly recommend test driving one.

Best and most powerful car i have ever had

This car is beautiful and very comfortable the best car for the money. I love the room and versatility, also very stylish. I would most likely get another one just like it next time.

Love it!

I love my new SUV. It is so easy to drive and very comfortable. I can't think of anything bad to say! I have owned several Hondas and Toyotas, and this is the best vehicle by far.

Stay Away From the Platinum Model!

The 2019 Highlander Platinumodel has a radio issue that causes the Navigation system not to work. Toyota refuses to replace the radio. They claim they’re working on a fix, but admit it may never come! DO NOT BUY!

Disappointed in the gas mileage.

I had a 2017. It had a manufacturing flaw and leaked. I swapped it for a 2019. Both are the XLE version. My main dissatisfaction is the much poorer gas mileage with the 2019. It has not come close to the posted mileage. The 2017 did the posted mpg and better. I wonder why?

Nice suv with exceptions.

Great styling. It was a limited model And Interior kind of cheap looking for 45k priced suv, lots of plastic. My biggest complaint was the kind of rough ride and the road noise, expected better. Dealer was not honest, played games. I passed on it.

Another Great Toyota

This is our 3rd Highlander. We have loved each one. We travel a lot, and they have been the most comfortable vehicles for our trips. We also like to have our grandkids with us, and this Highlander fills the bill there as well. For safety, comfort and ease of driving, we have not found anything better.

I love this vehicle

Not only does the Highlinder drive well, but the interior is roomy. My older (teen) kids love the extra legroom. Stylish and best value for money.

Good Vehicle Ruined By The Entune System

I enjoy driving the Highlander, I think it looks fine but the Entune system is junk. Like another reviewer, my GPS won't "speak to me" with turn by turn directions. The Entune system won't read me my messages or emails. The dealer has been unable to fix it.
