I got this car in November, first car, have never road-tripped alone before, but drove 11 hours without needing to even sleep because of good timing but ALSO because the car is SOOO comfortable to drive. I also had to drive in the snow in the mountains at night after getting to my destination… and wow. Scary but felt super safe the whole time as I could tell the car was taking care of me as a new driver. The adaptive cruise control is AMAZING and makes long trips nice. I’ll never get a speeding ticket lol. The audio system is so nice and the noise canceling/reducing window design REALLY makes a difference… it even makes inside of the car quieter. If you have a loud family i’m sure you could turn the music up a bit and find some peace. The camera system is also greatttt and has made learning to use my mirrors easier. Honestly it’s just an easy car to drive. The safety features make it damn near impossible for you to cause an accident because even if the back corner of your car might touch something there are 360 cameras that show at the same time as the rear camera. Anyways I know people have qualms about the car but it’s sooooo nice to me and even the exterior looks classier
I drove for 12 hrs straight with minimal breaks. Highlanders a re very comfortable and I never feel worn out even after long drives. This is amazing as I am 6'-2" tall and 260 lbs!
can you explain "the noise canceling/reducing window design REALLY makes a difference" ?
Got mine 2 weeks ago best choice I could off made
how does the 4 cylinder hold up? I love my 2006 hybrid 6 cylinder. Kind of sad its only 4 cylnder.
@Bill L. to be honest have not seen much of a difference still responds very well and in sport mode it accelerates incredibly if there's a difference it's barely notisable but fuel economy is a big difference for sure
@@fphotog Per Toyota, officially the fuel economy is only one (1) mpg with the new 4 cyl turbo engine. They did away with the 6 cyl due to new governmental emissions regulations.
Softex is too firm! Leather should soften after a few months.😊
Love it beautiful highlander hybrid i owned a venza hybrid limited 2022 i really love it very comfortable quiet lexus like interior materials good on gas ⛽ thanks for sharing your video take care bye from milton Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
This one doesn’t have the panoramic sunroof? Wow
What, no yest drive..??? Nice review. Awesome vehicle. Will be interesting to see how that 4 cylinder holds up in those big vehicles
I try to keep opinions out of my videos and they're more focused on showcasing the car in question which is why i title them as overviews instead of reviews. Although I've considered doing driving in the videos, I'm not sure how I can keep opinion out of that portion while still saying something. Any thoughts or input would be appreciated as I'd like to make my future videos even better.
@@Krowicki talking about features is great, but a key part in deciding what vehicle to buy is how the thing drives...
Great review
Excellent review
i have hybrid camry 2019. will never go back non hybrid again. hybrid is much better to drive
Would've liked to see the car dry. Thanks.
is a v6 an option on it? I prefer v6 over a 4 cylinder
as of the 2023 model they're only selling them as 4 cylinder now. You can get a used 2022 V6 if you prefer those but you went get some of the new features for the 2023 model year like the wireless carplay and wireless android auto
Great overview video! I love the Toyota Hybrid system (I have a Rav4 Hybrid Limited) and had heard that the new '23 Highlanders were finally getting an upgraded interior so I figured I'd take a peek... I am here to say that I am DISAPPOINTED by this effort from Toyota. Yeesh... The huge borders on the infotainment screen, the very strange placement of the volume knob, and the hideous plain looking toggles for the drive modes.... It really does make you wonder why Toyota stayed asleep on this one? I love how this car looks on the exterior - its not overly flashy and looks clean and yet still has some aggressiveness. The interior just looks like something from 2016 with an added digital gauge cluster and a slightly larger than back then infotainment screen. Have the Toyota Interior Design Engineers not seen what the latest Hyundai Pallisade interior driver and passenger dashboard looks like? Get on it folks!
Toyota rarely is exciting. They do things well which is OK, but I've not been like wow for most of their cars. Maybe the Rav4 is such a big seller works wide that they are thinking of their cash cows.
When the grand highlander will arrive?
Not sure yet but we should be seeing a public reveal in early February
Price????
Still brakes are tight for hybrid highlanders???
You mentioned a 35mpg average? is that US or CANADIAN gallon. as if itt's US for Canada/UK drivers you would get nearly an extra litre to your gallon! therefore increasing your average to about 45mpg!
US gallon
@@Krowicki that's a reasonable mileage for an suv! our 22 plate Corolla icon tech sport only gets 65mpg , yes i can be a little heavy footed at times! but who isn't? 😆
we have had toyotas and like them but for the money both the Kia or Hyundai Palaside calligraphy is a much better value
Palisade is this car's top competitor and I agree the Palisade is more beautiful inside & out (plus a functional 3rd row and quieter cabin), but longevity is still a question mark and 22mpg vs 35mpg made me choose the HyHi
V4 pass Here come Honda
boring design
Do not buy hybrid highlander
My cousin bought 2022 iwithin 15k miles
Suspension problem rattling noise
Rear mirror problem
Tire balding ( toyota giving excuse that hybrid car tire balds fast) BS
Battery issues sport mode sucks
On trail mode cant lift properly on trail or country roads
Please donot buy hybrid highlander its aripoff and just aftet 15k miles value also depreciates bcz hybrid ( battery)
Do not think its highlander its hybrid
Lot of difference
Fantastic overview, very detailed on all the key elements 🏆
Volume is moved so passengers can adjust volume. Drivers can adjust on the steering wheel.
Very good and direct review. My wife just found a 2023 AWD Highlander Hybrid Platinum and we're getting delivery in 2 weeks.
Could you show the sticker for each car you go over showing options and prices.
Very well detailed description, can’t wait to see the platinum
I just got mine. 2023 Platinum! Very very awesome ride all round. Engine torque in eco mode isn't the greatest but that's what you sacrifice when u use much lower gas in the hybrid. The vehicle is great.
It looks like Toyota Highlander Hybrid is the first SUV having 4 ac airvent for the 3rd row!!! It must be very comfortable in the 3rd row :)!!
What MPG does your Platinum get?
Do you like it? I am looking to get one in Summer.
What is the price as viewed? All that money and they chose to use cheap halogen bulbs inside??
They start production on mine on 1/7 I am so excited! Great video!
congratulations and thank you
I do wish they offered the 8 passenger version on the limited hybrid because it's more suitable for our families preferences
In France we have a panoramic roof (sunroof + fixed window on rear passengers); on the other hand, we lose the glasses holder!
... as the interior is very bright, we have the glasses on our noses! 😉
Butthead: hey, Bevis, he said 'pump out' more. Bevis: yeah, just pump away.
I ordered highlander limitet hybrid bleu print color on March 9. 2022 for 2022 and I received on Febrary 4th 2023 but not 2022 it is 2023👌. I like it.❤
Good thing you waited for the 2023, they made some nice improvements
How is it holding
I have mine coming soon hybrid xle highlander
How much it costed you
One imp question
Rav4 hybrid has same engine is this engine able to give performance given size of highlander ?
Please give your inputs on your experience
Change the decision my cousin had lot of issues
Can you fold the side mirrors by pressing the button and then back up the car to park into the garage?
Very good tutorial. I had this exact one ordered it’s been 8 long months but I finally got it today.
Very very Good
Wonderful/Great
Thanks Video
Do you like it? Did it meet your expectations?
congrats! I have been waiting for my platinum for 9 month. Hopefully I can get it soon.
@@FARANG100 Love it in fact, my wife is trying to take it over.
@@randallfraley2810 Haha. Funny. So, if I decide to order one, I have to wait several months? You didn't go for one that was already available in the lot?
What is the big box inside when showing cargo space in the back. Not only obstruct folding second row seat but also obstruct view of the control panel.
floor mats
It seems to be the perfect suv for a road trip for four people. Good mpg, comfortable cabin, good cargo space for luggage.
Incoming grand highlander! Can't wait check it out at auto show
Naah too much money. A Palisade with calligraphy trim is good enough
안녕하세요
리미티드와 플레티넘 옵션이 무엇이 틀린가요?
I owned the 2015 limited platinum, the exhaust have never changed from the 2014 to the recent model, Toyota needs to improve on that compare to Honda pilot and Nissan pathfinder.
Thanks for the in-depth review. Does this model come with a running board and tow package?
I lucked out and my dealer had one of these on allocation and the person cancelled their order so here's my deposit for it. Perfect color too: blueprint with gray interior. Should be here within the next 2.5 months and I can't wait.
How much it costing u
I got one mine costing $44, 560 msrp hybrid silver XLE
@@rajendramodusu5980 $53K after tax title and license. I had to pay extra because it is a limited but I can live with that. After having it a month it is the perfect SUV for our family.
@@drakesavory2019 thanks for reply wow u got already that highlander
What difference between limited and xle
&
What is ur experience like in terms of innercity/ freeway mileage
Any loud noise ?
I don't know this rav 4 hybrid engine in highlander how long has these engine been in market I mean to say
I know highlander v6 ppl vouch for 300k miles and 15 + years
I d k about this hybrid higander engine
Are you liking tge interior
Ppl also complaining about Remote start 3 clicks lot of times it doesn't work
I don't feel toyotas anymore...
Just small incremental improvements, nothing you can't find in other cars, it's like the iPhone.
Leased a 2023 highlander platinum, was concerned about the four-cylinder turbo as a traded in a Lexus V8.. No complaints plenty of power! And it has 50% less emissions. You can’t be Toyota reliability, and resale!!!
if some one in ToyoDA family had brain, they would made this as 35kwh battery capacity PLUGIN, and that would dominate market insta.
Very very Good
Wonderful/Great
Thanks Video
👍👍👍
My man said “peasant blockers” haha. Shit had me rollin.
too bad they didn't put a barrier in front of the wireless charger, that phone is going flying when hitting the gas
agreed, most toyota wireless chargers just send the phone flying
Leased 23 Highlander Platinum.. excellent power.. Toyota is pure quality & reliability…
I'd be curious on the weight limit of a roof mounted rack/cargo carrier, and the impact to MPG on average.
1 mile less.
Can you expand on the use of the 120V outlets. I believe they can easily be used tom power things in your home, such as a sump pump, in the event of a power failure, for example. Also, is there a light in the glove box and or front console?
That outlet that he showed near the back said '1500 watt". That one looks like it could be used for stuff like your sump pump or a miter saw. I just googled it on my phone and it starts at $47,000 and you have to wait 2 years to get one after you order it.
Love the highlander however it looks like grandma car not sexy . I can accept that XLE look just want that look in hybrid
Yes, I look at the environment alone, there are no men, very beautiful, this car is really beautiful, clean, perfect, I watched from 011 2011 2012 until 2023 và hai lần dời tích xã 2 beautiful. Yes, for me in Cambodia.
Looking at purchasing the Australian version of this car the kluger so clicked on this as I was curious about the differences I knew Toyota did a few nicer features in the highlander but after watching this I think the Australian market yet again gets jipped! Just something as simple as why is the screen so much smaller? It make no sense the space for it on the dash is there!! They’re all made in America should be the same
Is Toyota making more highlander hybrids now? What is the wait time for this trim?
roughly a year or two wait. Palisades and Tellurides are similarly backed up.
Heard the grand highlander will be Toyotas biggest suv in production.
It needs to be since the sequoia is now smaller than the 4Runner.
Thanks for the details. This helps with our decision making. A question-does the limited come with rain sensing wipers here in California?
I'm glad this video was helpful to you. The limited doesn't have rain sensing but the platinum model does
@@mattmann5620 😂😂😅🤣🤣
Not listed. Sorry
@Matt Mann 😂😂
why not 3.5 hybrid instead
How much does Stevens Creek want for this? ECVT? Never mind.
Thank you so much
Available in 2025.....
your video is very informative and detailed! appreciate!
Very Impressive!!!
Cost please
Thank you
A México aún no llega, quiero saber cuanto va a costar 🤔
I like your review, detailed and thorough
Very thorough review, thank you!
Toyota has the most uncomfortable head rest, it push you head forward and it’s really bad for people who has neck issue.
Almost all vehicles in Europe have this headrest profile. My wife is very sensitive to this and made no remarks in my Highlander.
Very well explained..
thank you
I can tell you are a professional at explaining. Thank you very much.
Glad it was helpful!
Nice review, thanks.
What’s the price? Lamo
Price please please 🙏
Disappointing that you cannot get the bench seat in the Hybrid Limited trim.
Can't have everything in life
I am too, but the bench is unavailable in the limited.
Hopefully someone comes up with an aftermarket solution!
I wonder if you could just swap seats with an XLE Hybrid.
Does it have the driver easy speak?
Awesome 💯
Is this cvt?
终于有全液晶仪表了
drink every time he says "you can see"
What’s the price on that vehicle?
$67,000 Canadian dollars (taxes etc included)
@@zenon3021 thank you
What is that in usa dollars
@@DrLaFuria I don’t know
@@DrLaFuria Right at $50,000 US.
When will 2024 highlander will come out ?
What gas grade does it takes
87
Don't buy Highlander 🙂
Best SUV on the market 💯
no panoramic roof at a limited price point = fail
That is only for the platinum model
@@cheeseandcheddar294ooo la la. Fancy
Get the platinum broke boyt
Chrome finish…. Gross
It's toyota nice.
Looks old fashion to me
Why not make it aesome? World need BEV veichles with 100+ miles range
Nice but too many rows. Too big for city driving. Lead time is years and dealers rip-off customers.
Take a look at the Toyota Venza hybrid, very nice
@@wabbit7608 Yeah it’s a beauty 👍
Over here.
Poor placement of the volume knob. You have to reach farther for the volume knob than the passenger has to reach for their temperature setting. Makes zero sense.
At least there are steering wheel controls.
steering wheel has volume buttons (bottom left side). You don't have to reach at all...
You have steering wheel controls. Passengers has knob closer to them. I don’t see too much of an issue.
I get what you mean but I don't use the volume knob in my car because I press the steering wheel buttons for the volume. It's done on purpose.
To be fair, I bet the thinking was that a driver would use the steering wheel controls and the knob would be for the benefit of the passenger.
I want one
I want to trade in my Camry hybrid for this 💯
