    Excellent review. We have a 2017 and 2023 Highlander. Enough space for our family of four and large dog and tow our trailer. Much more comfortable than Rav4 especially on longer trips. Goldilocks size means it’s easy to park and maneuver in the city.

      @@lhgross48 Grand Highlander looks nice but regular Highlander fits our needs better. Third row is only used a few times a year and smaller size makes it easier to drive and park in town and fits in the garage. No issues fully loaded with our enclosed trailer but if you’re pop up trailer is heavy I’d be tempted to move up to a vehicle with higher tow rating.

    Thanks for calling out the lack of a bench seat option on the top trim(s) @ 17:38. I post about this as often as I can on many channels and inevitably I get a bunch of likes. And now I'm finding other people beating me to the punch, so, we're a growing contingent. TOYOTA, just offer the bench seat in ALL trims. How hard could that be?

    I think they are making a mistake losing the tried-and-true V6 engines.
    I have a 2015 V6 Highlander with 180000km and I expect this engine the last me another 20 plus years.
    Smooth powerful reliable.
    I don't have to worry about any Turbo breaking or problems with direct injection engines.
    I know why they are doing it but in real-world situations you probably use more fuel than you are with the V6 always accelerating hard.
    I can tow 5,000 lbs with the V6.
    Looks like I may have to keep this Highlander going to rest of my life.
    Great review as usual.

      Exactly no way in the long run a 4 cylinder turbo is going to last as long as a V6 engine . Don't be fooled by how well it runs now drive it for 7+ years then compare it to the V6 ....you will see a lot of less wear on the V6

      I just checked the mileage this Highlander compared to my 2015 it's about one mile per gallon better.
      When I'm cruising 130 km per hour on the highway and the RPMs are barely registering I'll stick with my naturally aspirated V6 thank you.
      No matter how good the engine is it will never last as long as a 6-cylinder engine and will never be as trouble free.
      If you're crazy enough to get a new car every 4-5 years you won't care.
      I try to get at least a half a million kilometres on my vehicles.
      People are going to beat the hell out of these little four cylinders and they are going to wear out in half the time as a 6-cylinder.

      The v6 was once new and less reliable than it is today. One thing that is constant is change. Technology is improving. And the most important thing is that the turbo is cleaner while also being more peppy. Let's not forget that Toyota made the reliable Supra many years ago which was a turbo. Toyota does reliability very well.

    my wife drives one of these with the 2.4 turbo. In the span of one year we wasted money on a Ford Edge, and a Jeep Grand Cherokee L, both of which had multiple issues, including the batteries going dead overnight. I have never owned a Toyota in my life (and I am old) until this Highlander, and I only bought it because I was so disgusted at the Ford and Jeep. Never even test drove the Highlander until I had signed all the papers and owned it. Turns out we love the Highlander, my wife especially. Can't put my finger on why we like it so much, but we do.

    Bought a 2021 Platinum with the V6, anticipating the move to a 4 cyl. turbo. The gas mileage is about the same according to EPA data, but turbo mpg drops like a rock when the booster kicks in. The V6 has 30 years of history and is quieter. Not thrilled with the second row captain chairs, on the odd occasion with need more seating, the 3rd row is for kids. All the seats are firmer than I like.

    Interesting thoughts on the 4-cyl engine. I have a ‘23 XLE, and I’m not thrilled with the motor… I feel it’s underpowered, especially when accelerating around a turn from a stop… I wonder if there is too much waiting for the turbos to spool up?
    I think the wireless charger on the shelf may also be a miss. Toyota should have put it on the next level down, beside the auxiliary outlets. My wife’s smaller phone slides around a lot on the charging pad.

    When CX-9 yrs ago went down from a V6 to a 2.5T they were crucified! So they went to an in-line 6 with CX-90 in response…Toyota goes from a V6 to a 2.4T and they’re praised for it! So much bias against Mazda and so many followers (sheeple) for Toyota! 🤦‍♂️

    Motormouth have you noticed if those front doors design on the Highlander goes way under the floor like the new generation Lexus RX does ? Your in Canada and people complaint a lot about this with the new RX. Snow and debris get inside at the bottom of the interior doors. When we open the doors on the RX in winter time it's so ugly and dirty. We have 3 to 4 inches of debris inside the doors sand, snow, ice, calcium etc. My wife and I we hated that on our RX 350 2023.

    I’m curious as to why we’re lumping the standard Highlander in with the Korean twins, Telluride and Palisade. Would the Sorento not be a more accurate comparison vehicle? I know you did mention the Sorento at one point; but, then on the 4 Cars to Consider segment, you used the Telluride.

    Come on, guys! In terms of aesthetics, please don’t compare the Highlander to the CX-90. Everyone’s been outclassed by the Mazda, except perhaps the Telluride with its very attractive boxy shape. Even in your “consideration” segment, the difference in design is evident.

    We know all agree Toyota quality and reliability is great, but still a "turbo" 4 cylinder engine VS. up to 4,453 lbs. hints that engine wear in terms of long-term durability is still questionable. Only time will tell if it's as durable as past models.

    Of course Toyota would continue making the Highlander. They would be foolish to discontinue a huge seller. I would imagine the next generation model to retain 7 passenger seating but it would be more targeted at the likes of the Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento now that Toyota has the Grand Highlander to compete with the Honda Pilot, Kia Telluride, Hyundai Palisade etc.
    With the Lexus TX being barely different from the Grand Highlander, it would be better if the 3.5l PHEV powertrain remains a Lexus exclusive.

      The key is high torque (rotation force, in case you don't know) starting at low engine rotational speed (rpm). This engine has exactly that (for a gasoline engine type).
