Just go for the regular hybrid. I don’t understand the point of the HybridMax. It’s like the Sequoia. It’s bad gas mileage. I have the XLE Hybrid and it’s great. Bench seating, which my husband didn’t want, but I really like the bench seating. If you want the luxury, pick the Lexus version.
Toyota learned from the regular Highlander’s shortcomings to make this vehicle the best 3-row SUV available today. It’s basically a 3-row version of the RAV4, which is the best selling SUV by a mile. Huge success for Toyota!
2 family members have previously had a Hyundai Palisade and now have a limited Grand Highlander and they both prefer the Palisade. The only reason they didn't get another Palisade is because our city no longer has a Hyundai dealership.
Great video, I owned a GH Platinum. The only issue that I see with the GH is the hood!! The material is so light that you can see how it moves (vibrates) during driving. If you go to a carwash you can see how light the hood is!! Visually is very uncomfortable. Many issues were raised to Toyota, who responded that they are investigating but no security issue at this point!!
If you could only find one on the Toyota lot somewhere. I have been wanting to buy one (hybrid) but they have a wait list and it will probably take months to get one. Toyota needs to ramp up the production. Great running vehicle when I test drove one. I have checked several dealers and in different states and none are available without getting on a wait list for several months. I am an impatient person and when I want to buy something , I want it now, oh well , I guess I will have to get on a wait list.
Another con is this will be in the top 5 to top 10 most stolen vehicles, similar to normal highlander which every yearis in the top 10 in the US and Canada.
Non kid-friendly 2nd row folding seats, Non flat 2nd row floor and that stupid mid console make it no way to be a good family suv. How many families have 8 psgs all at 6 feets tall need to be in a suv at same times? see that holes on the back of the seats, just save money on a GDM plastic cover~! Most of the buyers come for a big family suv, not just big. No buy lol

CORRECTION: Hybrid Max is rated at 362 hp and 400 lbft
I liked the “Sadie’s Take” portion of the review, good points from her perspective.
They need a bench seat option on the Hybrid Max. Captains chairs don't work as well for my family of five.
They have the bench as an option
@@wjoseph-rx9mj Not on Platinum trim.
@@mertersun that’s why it’s call premium, there’s trims that have similar materials
@@wjoseph-rx9mj Not having bench seats is not a premium property.

Sounds impressive! I also like the Sadie’s Take portion of the review.

@@JH93688false story
This one's on my buying list. I'm torn between this and the Lexus TX.
havent had a go in the TX, but it will be VERY similar, but with a nicer interior I'm sure
Lexus vs toyota + extra $ for vacations lol
Great review, Thanks!

I’ve noticed this with other Toyota models as well (also a couple Hyundais I think)
My wife says same thing. I'm canceling my order. not for $53K car.
@@markhu7454understandable!! at the end my experience is incredibly with the new GH. I am happy after all!!
Don't want a damn hybrid. Sick of batteries.
I wish this model has 8 seater option

hey let me ask you a question. how can I turn on the blinking screen and day time running light? is it available in limited gasoline models?
Its a camera issue for the video
If it had the bench seat I wish the platinum max had this option. Platinum max gets decent mpg. With lots of power .
It looks very specious. How tall are you?
I’m 6’1”
What about a 6 cylinder? What can you tow with a 4?
can the middle seats be removed, turn into executive class?
Why doesnt the rear bumper match the qtr panel on my 50k brand new toyota
👀🤷♂️
in canada the salesperson if saying 80k canadian is that normal???
My GH hybrid is averaging 35 mpg. Several tanks over 40.
Woah nice!
The other reviews I've seen have complained about the bizarre automatic braking system.
But I guess that can be turned off?
i didn't run into any issues with that auto-brake the entire week so maybe they patched it with software since those reviews
Another con is this will be in the top 5 to top 10 most stolen vehicles, similar to normal highlander which every yearis in the top 10 in the US and Canada.
LOOKS GOOD BUT THE SCREEN SHOULD BE MORE MODERN , LIKE A MERCEDES BENZ .
like the hyperscreen?
Mercedes sucks
Awesome
😎
Toyota makes the best hybrid in the market plus very reliable vehicles.
