    Buying one this month at 45k miles, my 2020 crv hybrid is amazing on gas ⛽️ qnd better interior and more tech but my problem is the 4 cylinder engine, at low speeds, the hybrid system is quiet and nice but at high speeds or even cruising speeds, the 4 cylinder characteristics begins to show and as a car enthusiasts, it sucks so i switched to this and hope i haven't made a mistake with reliability. Wish me well

      @AutoAcademics  5 років тому

      Your guess is as good as ours for now, Z A86, as Toyota hasn't officially launched it yet. Hopefully, we'll get an invite to that so we can share some first looks with you while we wait for it to hit the market. But so far, all they've done is tease a concept at the NY Auto Show. Should be in the upcoming months, though. Stay tuned and thanks for watching!

    Which one is better this or the Chev Blazer?

    • @AutoAcademics
      @AutoAcademics  5 років тому +1

      The Blazer is a nice vehicle, Shae Chantell, but it's only 5-passenger, while this Highlander is available as an 8-passenger if you get the 2nd row bench seat. So you'll first need to decide if you want a 2-row or 3 row crossover. The Blazer has more up to date tech in it, but the Highlander has its history of reliability. We know this doesn't tell you which one is better, but that's because only you can answer that question. If you haven't seen our review of the Blazer yet, you can check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/dIsJf7h7zkg/v-deo.html Hope it helps a little, though, and thanks for watching!

    How does this exact car match up to the 2020 Nissan Pathfinder platinum?

    • @AutoAcademics
      @AutoAcademics  3 роки тому +1

      That's a challenging question, Rasha Sarandah, because we all have different needs and wants from our vehicles. That being said, we prefer the driving characteristics of this 2019 Highlander over the the 2020 Nissan Pathfinder. We've never been fans of the continuously variable transmission (CVT) in the Pathfinder and this Highlander uses a traditional 8-speed automatic transmission. Interestingly enough, we reviewed the redesigned 2020 Highlander and enjoyed that one much better as the tech was improved, among other things. Here's the link if you were curious: ua-cam.com/video/dH1-Z4-ofSc/v-deo.html
      Finally, to make things even more confusing (sorry), Nissan just revealed their redesigned 2022 Pathfinder. Again, here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/9-DE7tn85cg/v-deo.html
      On this one, they are now using a traditional 9-speed automatic transmission and we are very interested in how it drives. I'm sorry we can't help more, but as you continue to research and possibly test drive, you'll find the one that speaks to you best. Good luck and thanks for watching!

      We were surprised with how well it actually drove compared to the newer vehicles in its class and it's priced well when compared to other vehicles in its class. But if you're in to having the latest and greatest in your vehicles, then you definitely have some things to think about when considering this vehicle. We appreciate your comments, chocolatewheelchair. Thanks for watching!
