Hi Jeff, I hope to buy my new 2025 Camry LE in March and I was hoping you could do some how to videos for things I need to learn like how to use cruise control and my WAZE I have on my iPhone 16 Pro that I just bought. It will charge wirelessly in the new charger. I hope you are having fun at your mom's house in Jackson, Michigan.
I remember in 2019, I bought a brand new 2019 Toyota Highlander with zero miles on it for $26,000. Car payment was $480 a month. Now, in 2025, the version I bought starts at $48,000😢. What is going on🤔? I can imagine the monthly car note, especially after taxes are added. I'm thinking $900 plus
@@SME5724 but with more torque......For most people (not all) driving in town, city etc. accounts for the vast majority of their time behind the wheel. This powertrain is superior for that type of driving. Which would I prefer? The V6. But it is impossible for me to deny that this is a better powertrain for most people, most of the time.
I wish they didn't have a turbo. Turbo equals more problems less engine life. I would go with the hybrid, but it only comes in four-wheel drive. I don't need a four-wheel drive. I don't want higher maintenance costs, less fuel mileage. And not to mention a rear electronic axel that can not be repaired must be replaced. And cost a fortune.
You’re missing a lot without the use of the cruise control, I’ll suggest you search for videos on UA-cam…. The car is a machine it breaks and accelerates by itself while on cruise control.
Why Toyota is discontinuing this model is beyond me. The Grand Highlander is much bigger than many of us need, but we like having something a bit larger than a RAV4 where the 3rd row is only needed once or twice per year for a short trip. Crown Signia is nice, but it is a wagon. The Highlander deserves a new model makeover. Discontinuing it is short sighted.
I want one but I hate thats it’s a 4cyclinder. I had a Camry and I loved it but the get up and punch is horrible. Felt like a grandma trying to switch lanes in traffic.
With the same price or even lower, I would rather buy 2 years old Certified MDX tech package or above. With many options added all Toyota are expensive basic cars vs luxury cars.
You sound like a person who has never seen or driven a car produced in the past 40 years. Oh, seat pockets! Oh, this car has a horn! Wow, a sunroof! Funny to watch.

Toyota Highlander is the best-selling midsize SUV in the country for the last 8 years! Would you buy one....or is there a better option? Jeff
In its category, there is no better option than the Highlander Hybrid. 🤩
Bad decision, same idiots putting failed parts in the Tacoma at Toyota are responsible for this things problems.
turbo? Be careful!
Jeff, In some quarters, the Highlander is not getting the respect it deserves these days.
I love my 2021 Highlander XSE! After seeing this video I’ll just keep mine 😅
I like the looks of the generation before this one. The sides look like wide hips.
Have 2021 Platinum, V6 version. Amazing!!
If they kept the V6, they would've sell more shitload of this.
they sell loads without the V6, dont worry
@@broodp4sales on the Highlander have decreased dramatically since then
@@SME5724because of the Grand Highlander, not because of the turbo 4
Miss my V6 2021 highlander XSE it got stolen unfortunately
Even if you factor in GH sales they’ve still sold 100k less units then when the v6 was around …
I really liked your evening driving impressions. All the lights and gadgets really come alive.
The multi vectoring is on my 2024 platinium, also 12.30 gauge cluster
Can you do review on 25 grand Highlander please
THIS IS SO NICE ❤❤
I love my v6 2019 highlander
They should put the 2.4L iforcemax hybrid system since it’s the sport package
With a naturally aspirated V6?!
Besides the turbo, it is a beautiful car.
Are they going to have the v6 Turbo?
We have a 22 xse awd v6 and we love it.
Heated steering wheel?
When are they available ?and where are they available ?
Not available
It's a shame they don't offer the pop up rear glass anymore.
Hi Jeff, Thanks for all the beautiful and amazing car reviews. What would we do without you? You are appreciated. We love you cheers 🫂 🎉.......
Go Lions! They’re doing great 👍
I’m going to wait for the V6 version
I wish they offered a 5 passenger version of this XSE in Hybrid AWD
What fuel consumption ?

Does it come with heated steering wheel ?
Two spots 10 and 2 so stupid
Nice car
The mini van looks even better than the SUV 😂😂😂

Seems exactly the same as my new 2024 Platinium Highlander with carmel glaze leather seats. I love the vehicle.
I have a 2018 v6 awd …. Shame what they did to my boy 😢
Made it with more torque?
@ sure … with less HP

I would definitely buy this no question if XSE ever offered ventilated seat. I don't know why they still don't
Jeff always has the best view point!
Still repair prices are through the roof

I love my honda pilot touring....thanks
Does the 2025 have the same TTS 2.5÷ as 2024? Whuch TTS on 2023?
Jeff, can you demonstrate with close up video how cruise control works on one of these new Toyota's? Thanks

@@abiodunsadiq61 Thank you for the helpful suggestion. I found one on UA-cam.
@@Irishmanbikes it’s my pleasure enjoy the machine.
3rd row is useless. We use it for grocery shopping but would like captain's seat for easy access to and from 3rd row.

The grand highlander is like 3 inches longer and 2 inches wider
I want one but I hate thats it’s a 4cyclinder. I had a Camry and I loved it but the get up and punch is horrible. Felt like a grandma trying to switch lanes in traffic.
This I4 Turbo is faster. I had the 2021 V6 Highlander.
I love my honda pilot.....thanks
NEEDS a 🎉V-6 with a supercharger….
I hate the front grill of these Highlanders. Change it up please. It looks horrible and cheap
I never grow to love this Highlander body design. It never looks good to me.
It’s only the front end that looks like an ugly catfish. The sides and rear are Supra-esque
Is this guy 5’ 1” ?
With the same price or even lower, I would rather buy 2 years old Certified MDX tech package or above. With many options added all Toyota are expensive basic cars vs luxury cars.
Comparing it to a luxury brand will have that effect. I'd rather a 2 year old certified RX over a Honda Pilot.

Omg that front design is a joke.
I have a highlander limited 2021 with a v6 and its still not enough for me to trade it and that 4cylinder is a big no thank you for me 🤦♂️
Do not trade it in for a 4 cylinder turbo your better off with that naturally aspirated engine.
Dated styling showing its age
Why does it look like an angry fish from the front?
Ask your momma 😂
When this 25 model available in NYC
Tomorrow for Uber only
Go Cowboys! 🤭🤪🤣🤣
Go Lions.
You can't even find theses cars I don't understand most all other Car dealers lots are full of 2025 not Toyota

i think they stop selling hybrid max. this engine has no power
It has noticeably more torque than the V6.
Why do so many new vehicles 🚗 come with a 4banger and turbo, which I really think that most turbos will take you to the bank 🏦 poorer 😢
Agreed. I don’t like turbos either.
u seriously don’t know?
Turbos aren’t good for reliability 10+ years of daily usage, but CAFE couldnt care less about that. Emissions baby!! 🤌
Dude... That singing part was PAINFUL to watch.
shame on toyota to put a dumb 4 cylinder on big suv like this ...
No 360’ camera🤦🏻♂️
No cooled seats? Moving on..
I'm with you, especially with vinyl seats. Leather ventilated seats are available on the Limited or Platinum trims.
They only have heated seats.
