Never met a bad Toyota

Replaced a 2014 Highlander with the new XLE Hybrid. Same great build quality as our old Highlander, and it uses 30% less gas. The vehicle in silver is beautiful, and driving the 40 miles home from the dealership netted 33 mpg. Pretty good for an 8 passenger 4wd SUV. Coupled with the fact that our previous Highlander only depreciated 22% over the 4 years we owned it makes the Hybrid an unbeatable deal.

Great car for travelling and even in the city

Plenty of space, smooth drive, comfortable. Serves all my needs: for commuting to work and on weekends, as well as buying furniture and bring back home easily!

Hybrid is smoother than the Gas model.

The Hybrid oozes smoothness and easy power delivery. The Gas engine tends to hunt for gears around 40 to 50 MPH. It seems unsure and there is a slight notch in an other linear acceleration. At low speeds, the Hybrid slides around with a silent roll like a cheetah getting close to its prey.

Technologically Proficient

If you want a vehicle that has cutting edge auto technology, safety, reliability, space and comfort, this vehicle is for you. This vehicle is a short step away from an autonomous auto. Very well thought out.

Hybrid Limited - Love it

I love this car. Comfortable, quiet, quick, excellent mileage, hybrid! I have not used the third row and keep it folded down. The Bluetooth auto play bug was initially very annoying but after a month it's far less annoying . I also wish that the view into the cargo area was more closed off from viewing while the cover is over it. The gaps between the 2nd row seats provide an easy view into the front part of the storage area. If I were in the market again today I would rebuy this car without considering anything else. Everything I get in and drive, I think "I really like this car."

Serves all my needs.

I love it. Worth every penny. Great gas mileage. Comfortable. It's a Toyota, so it should be reliable.
