This is our second Highlander and it is as good as

This Highlander has been awesome! We looked at a few different vehicles and this was the one we liked the best. It was the most comfortable and had the most features by far.

Just bought my XSE

This vehicle looks are outstanding. Big change on the design on the XSE. Inside is nice and clean. Seating in front and second row is comfortable. Third road just ok. Gas mileage is what I expected. AWD is a must in New England. This is my 7th Toyota product. Another words dependable

Too new to evaluate completely

Initial quality and vehicle first impression has exceeded our expectations. The comfort level form, fit and finish is excellent. The ride is very smooth and the handling ease is exceptional.

Nice car

Very nice driving vehicle. Quit, good ride and comfortable. Seats could be a little larger. Wish the screen in the dash had a full screen mode for maps.

What doesn’t it have?

The 2021 Toyota Platinum is amazing. It has every amenity but a portable toilet. We purchased from West Herr Toyota in Orchard Park NY via Bill Vogel. This is our “retirement drive America” vehicle, our 2nd Highlander and 5th Toyota car purchase.

much better than the 2018 Highlander

The car performs very well. Front area seems a little smaller but the rear seems a little larger. Only have the first 1000 miles so it will be awhile before it is broken in. The car has improved from previous years.

Like the 2021 XSE better than my 2019 Camry XSE V6

Better than average acceleration. Better than average comfort and steering. Average braking on wet/dry roads. Front end styling is a plus. A fun vehicle to drive.
