I really like that you show the transition images of the different trim levels. Great idea and really effective!
Thank you!
Just traded our Honda with 16000 miles, so many problems, that they couldn't fix. Highlander, Toyota is by far superior in quality and dependability. The best part about buying a vehicle is you have a choice no matter what brand you buy. My wife chose the Highlander XLE over the pilot. She found it easier to drive and park in the garage over the pilot. Believe it or not, I seriously enjoy driving it .. this coming from a Tundra driver! Enjoy what ever you buy. Good luck. Great video.
Thanks
If you don't mind me asking which Honda did you trade in so I don't end up buying the same car. I'm considering buying a highlander within 60 days the comment is useful thanks
@@praiseandworshipthankyouje757 CR-V EXL AWD. Honda tried to give a discount on the pilot. I have a friend in Honda service. He said the pilot has high maintenance cost. My wife is really enjoying her Highlander. Have a blessed day. Let us know if you need any other info.
Your made in Japan Honda w/ 16k miles has problems? Bro my Mexican-made 2016 scion iA has one up on yours LOL.
The best review i have seen. Wached lots of them but the details u provided are awesome
We appreciate that!
Thank you for your excellent comprehensive review... I am considering .... I have a 2003 Highlander and there is nothing wrong with it, thanks to the fact that I have kept it up faithfully..
Glad you liked it!
I bought a 2015 Highlander Limited new in 2014; this car is absolutely amazing! I loved it so much! My only problem with my model in particular was the screen, over the past two years the screen occasionally turns off and freezes. Mainly around whenever I need maintenance. I recently bought a 2018 Cadillac XT5 and I rather it miles more over my Highlander. Thank you Toyota for a great 4 years with a very solid and reliable car. Great review guys! Keep up the good work!
It's unbelievable Toyota didn't update the entune system of the 2019 Highlander to the new entune.
Chris Online I'm sure they're saving it for the upcoming redesign.
check out 2020 version they did
@@thecriticalthinkeroutsidet4947 why is not then enough I have the 2019
My everyday Toyota SUV!! Terrific job bro.
The infotainment system looks like something from 2010. In a $40-50k vehicle.
Howard Horst this gen was from 2014 so there not going to change it in the same gen
They’re updating it next year at least
I can't wait for the new redesign Highlander, hopefully in 2020. This car has aged well over the past years.
Not to mention it's the smallest out of what other brands has to offer.
Johnson L well, the 2020 version is 🤩
That's even more compact, similar resistive touch entune system with almost no features which are standard in other brand's 2018 vehicles unless you pay extra for the highest trim only. Apart from corolla and camry, toyota is ripoff 1980s car.
The 2020 is ass ugly.
Shit, it’s such a bust like the 2016 Pilot. I hate it, but same with the Pilot. I am gonna look at Subarus, Mazdas, or get a Passport now.
Great review video! Ty for the detailed review. Picking up my new vehicle today, and your review is super helpful.
You're welcome! And congrats on your new Highlander!!
Very good detail in this video!
Thanks!
Thank you for this excellent review.
Glad you liked it!
I have two Toyota Fortuners in South Africa very similar to the Highlander .They are beyond awesome.I love this Highlander.
I just bought the 2019 highlander limited, it comes with all weather floor mats except nothing in the third row seats like the one in this video.
It has a timing chain instead of a belt...it doesn't have VCM, so i beats honda pilot for me.
Looks like I’m gonna be paying a visit to my local Honda dealer
enjoy that crapy VCM system in the Honda V6...
And a 1200 dollar timing belt job.
Ugh...
Gtbomb1 I have to do so much more to my Highlander..
Robert Medina They have the same engine dumb ass.
Awesome review
Thanks!
I'll wait and see what the 2020 version offers. I hope they don't extend it too much farther; If they do, they'll need to slot a new vehicle between the small Rav4 and ever-growing Highlander like Honda just did with the Passport. That way people that need more than the compact Rav4 , but don't need the 3rd row of the over-sized mammoth mega family movers, (Pilot,Atlas,Ascent,Palisade,Telluride,Explorer,Traverse, Enclave,
among others) will have a reasonably sized, quality vehicle. We still have a 1st Gen Highlander(still a great car) and would love to see a slightly larger, high tech version to compete with the Passport; with Toyota reliability, I think they can win back the larger 2 row segment
Hello,how did you change from the first Bluetooth player to Entune ? Can you do a video on it?
Nice explanation.
Wish you would have dropped all back seats for a view of cargo space.
Such a classy look, the new ones up to 2024 look more like mini vans.
Are the LED fog lights better on the 2019 than the Halogen on the 2018, is one brighter than the other. I have a 2018 Highlander Limited and the halogens seem to work OK.
I know you enjoyed doing this review but have you all seen what the 2019 Rav 4 will look like!? If you all have the same feelings as me, I cannot wait till those get released! You'll be amazed at the features especially the well lit interior.
Yeah looking forward to seeing it when it comes out!
The rav4 wont come out until December
Not sure about the US, but in Canada, Blind Spot Monitoring has been added to the LE+ trim.
Great vehicle. I have an 18 and love it.
Just bought one 2019 Limited last week...
me too
Great review
My mom has a 2020 Ford Escape and my dad gets new cars every 2 days and right now has a 2019 Toyota Highlander
The best suv
Nice review
I had HID headlights on my 2009 Venza. Halogens don’t cut it anymore, led fog light now just emphasize how yellow your headlights are.
My brother-in-law just bought this $50k box of plastic. I still cant believe they STILL use the same font on the buttons. Its been the same since 1996!
Nothing beats Toyota👌
Aero dynamic outside and beautiful comfortable design inside for a SUV compare to the others 4WD !
Loved it ever since got it 2017 no regrets whatsoever 👍
Awesome video
I like it but driving on the highway is really noisy from the windows
Turn up the radio
Lol at drew
Roll up your windows then
Brandon Yen windows up or down??
KINDA NEED HELP!!! I literally just bought this car today AND IT KEEPS GETTING FOGGY OUTSIDE my front windshield and my defrost button or AC thingy aint doing anything? Any advice?
Oh wow congrats bro .. im goin to buy the platinum ... but hei for my honda not to fog i only turn on the two middle fan AC . Not the ones in the outer . Then for some reason that works for me and it wont fog up
Must have the interior air flow coming from outside, not recycling cabin air.
In 2020 Toyota highlander plantation update the outside and inside has 12.3 inches
Storage for my purse?! Oh that's all he had to say! I've leased Toyota for four years. They are well built. Never ever an issue.
The mazda cx9 blows this out of the stratosphere
It has turbo issues. I wouldn't buy the first year. Maybe the 2019 will have the problem fixed
Nope
The Ford Maverick had a shelf most or all of the way across the lower dash, and very old VW’s had an optional wicker shelf that went all the way across as well.
Nice review, can those captain chairs come out if I need room for camping?
No but they fold mostly flat
I just brought Highlander 2019 3 months ago . The GPS has no voice , and the air vent don't work properly. The seat hurt my back . I regret that I brought the vehicle. So many things wrong with it. The sensors don't work anymore . It was working fine forthe first 2 months . They going to have lots of recalls coming up.
Excellent review

Thanks! Welcome to the CC family!
hi what is the main difference between the 2018 toyota highlander limited and 2019 toyota highlander limited? also which year model would you recommend buying? thank you so much..
The main (and only) difference is that the 2019 Highlander comes with new LED fog lights. If there are still 2018s available then it might be a good way to save some money
Great, learned a.lot
Myself I’m disappointed with my ‘19 Highlander XLE in that Toyota abandoned the Entune system in this model which means there is no way to upgrade to a navigation system. And no Apple car play. Also for a 38K auto there is no backup alarm. You need to get the limited model to get what most other car companies provides across all their models.
Awesome review thank you these are really nice wagons
Glad your enjoyed the video!
These are super nice SUV's. Super spacious, and very reliable. I hope they don't mess it up when they come out with the redesign. They need to keep the V-6, all the storage cubbies, and add all the new technology like auto-reverse braking, along with Android Auto, pano sunroof, and a quality 360 camera.
They did messed it up bro .. the exterior looks like shit on the 2020 ... i love the 2019 look on highlander 😍😍
I was wondering about the little latches are used for
Honestly, if they made a Subaru Truck!!! OMG THATS GOALS RIGHT THERE LOTS OF DEM!!
LE plus on up have the pop up rear window and power tailgate. Not just XLE on up. A couple of other items as well are in the LE Plus model.
can someone explain those all wheel drive controls at 10:57
The Highlander has aged well, but it does have a good amount of missing content available or even standard in competitors. Apple car play and android auto, for starters. Also remote start is standard on pretty much all trims of the Pilot so the fact that it’s still optional on the Limited is ridiculous. The key isn’t very premium-looking. The infotainment system looks ancient. The lack of LED headlights as you approach $50k is offensive to say the least. Lastly a handsfree tailgate just needs to happen; the explorer and pilot have it, everyone else needs to follow suit. A redesign is well due
Jay Mac it’s an old design from 2014 so it’s most likely going to get a new design in 2020 or maybe 2021
Car.los.14 .T I know. It’s funny how cars can become outdated in just 4 years
I'm offended that this is as expensive as it is. They're relying on their reputation and giving nothing new.
2020 will have all that you said! New redesign!
If they made that back window go down like the tundra I'd buy it
Maybe next years model will get it?
The 4Runner has that
Toyota needs LED Daytime running lights on XLE - higher trims, just like Honda.
Great music during the JBL system test!!
Also, do you happen to know any info on when Toyota will release a completely redesigned Highlander? I want the Highlander, but I don't like the entune system the current Highlanders have. It's not HD enough, like what Honda's infotainment system has. I know at 14:10, you said that it's "probably the last year for this gen," but any official word from Toyota?
the last two Highlander generations lasted for about 6 years each. I don't think Toyota has officially announced it but is very likely that they will come out with the new generation in 2020.
Then I can't wait!! :)
Thanks! And yes, guillecanales11 is right. They haven't officially said anything yet but after 6 years it's almost guaranteed they will redesign it to stay on top of the sales charts
I think i’m headed to the Pilot.
Good tour
Right I hope it has apple car play.
Dual port or direct injected?
Clearly, comfort is not high on the list for many car buyers, as the third generation is a kidney shaker! I bought a 2013 Limited model simply because it was way superior in comfort and suspension.
No apple car play and android auto. (but 2019 camry and rav4 already have carplay so why not the highlander.)
YES to toyota safety sense features- standard to all trim including the base model (Not all competitors is doing that)
YES to toyota's reliability (you need the most if you buy this car for your family, what's the use of advance infotainment system if your car started to give up on you just few months after you bought it.)
Not the best SUV in the market when it comes to DESIGN but hey it's not the worst either.
In the end many customers will still buy it. (my opinion)
14:25 OML I THOUGHT IT WAS DONE AND I HAD A HEART ATTACK
(cause i clicked on this to see the trunk
btw)
I’m thinking about trading in my 2015 Toyota. Highlander to get a Lexus lx 570 what should I do
1: No HID or LED headlights. Let's get of of the 1990s.
2: Remote start...then you open your car door and it stops the engine, no aftermarket remote start will keep it running ? ?
3: Entune... just go to the app page and see the 1600 reviews of which 95% are 1 star... ONE STAR ! !
MrMikebutkus the engine stops when you open the door so no one will steal the car
Are you complaining my about having to press a single button after you open the door?!?
Jeff Ik ppl are just lazy
@@youngice8207 People are so spoiled with technology and basically lazy. Complaining about pushing one button is comical.
I am wanting a Highlander, but can't find the option that gives me that plastic lined back for the third row seats. Did that come from the factory? See 19:08 for what I am talking about.
Hi! Yes it is a factory option called 'Cargo Liner' for $100. You can find it in the accessories section of the Toyota build and price
BOB SMITH it's a dealer option
got the xle. wish I’d spent a little extra and gone with the limited. could’ve really used the memory seats and the jbl system. I don’t know how much better it is than the one found on the XLE cause it is not that great at all.
can you do 2019 toyota 4runner?
Yes we will be reviewing it soon!
Where is the sos bottom?
It will be nice if you include closed caption in your videos.
Haven’t all of y’all noticed that this design is old because this came out in 2014, it’s most likely not going to have Apple car play ,like the new Toyota’s coming out they be getting Apple car play cause it’s a new design🤦🏻♂️
Please state in the description what interior color is!!!
This one was the gray leather. Thanks
You drive me mate.okay that’s very good.but beware pls don’t make me dirty as I have a party to launch
Im thinking either the highlander or the Toyota 4 runner pro
Highlander
Does it have factory alarm system?
Yesh
What is the price?
When will Toyota update the terrible user interface? We got a 2018 hybrid a couple of months ago and really like it, but the interface has the same feel as my old Garmin GPS that I just threw in the trash.
Is it AWD ?
Yes
I was going to get this suv but it didn’t have the technology I wanted so I purchased a Lincoln Navigator and it is one of the best suvs but it sure is expensive
Good luck with the Lincoln, it's a nice looking rig. Just don't keep it too long, they tend to have problems. I hope the new models hold up better.
wind7sailor I replace my vehicle every five years so I think it will last that long
@@touristtravel7572Yes, if you can afford a new car at that pace, why not enjoy whichever vehicle is best for your taste and driving style. As for me, I need to make my money and future car work harder, thus long-term reliability enters into my decision.
wind7sailor I try to not to spend a lot of money on cars like $100,000 max. But quality is what matters if I tend to like the way one drives I keep it longer
2020 will have Apple CarPlay. You should’ve waited! The Lincoln Navigator is gonna be a lot of work and lots of money. My neighbor has he paid 15k just for the car maintained. He now has a 2018 Land Cruiser! Much better!
Add CarPlay TaTa
Does entune support waze?
It does not
No mention of spare tire? If included, full size or temporary and whether under the rear like pickup trucks or under the rear floor in luggage department?
Sorry for that. There is a spare located underneath the cargo area (accessable from the outside)
@@CarConfections thanks!!!
what is the song title
Great review as always. The vehicle though, very outdated.
2019 RAV4 Review Please!
We filmed one today, actually. Review will be posted before Christmas!
@@CarConfections I'm seriously shopping Toyota for my next vehicle. Did a test drive last week with the new 2019 Rav4....worst ride ever! The 8 gear transmission couldn't make up its mind what gear to go into. Very high, whiney sound like I ran over a cat. Just got bad vibes driving this! Cheaper plastics on the interior also...not impressive for $30,000+. I wanted to like this car because it was so cute. But then I checked Edmunds.com for customer reviews in my Disneyland/Anaheim California neighborhood...waaay too many local folks with NEW vehicles having serious transmission slippage/ crappy gear issues with this car! One lady's car actually froze in low gear on the freeway. Just read the reviews!! I dont see any long term quality here. To me the RAV4 was like a beautiful looking woman who'd be a witch 🧙♀️ to live with...you won't enjoy the ride for the long run! So I'm waiting for the 2020 Highlander to come out in December. Keep up the excellent work . You two are the best, most straightforward reviewers on the UA-cam! Thanks! 🤗
@UCDAlzqVU_m5seZaMirEuErA Thanks! Glad we could help! We're looking forward to checking out the new Highlander later this year!
What’s the top of the line model ?
Limited Platinum
How much
Nice
I like the pilot more.
Subie Guy1 same
As of Nov 2018 Pandora, Fartbook and Open Table for Entune will no longer be available. Don't care about Fartbook or Open Table but Pandora? C'mon Toyota inside a car is all about music.
I would buy a HONDA PILOT instead of this Highlander.
Support your claim . I got two simple oppionin on both comparison .... the highlander has a beast sick beautiful ass grill and all its exterior ... the pilot exterior looks more feminin and just look kinda weird .... although the pilot has more space in the 3rd raw witch is a plus more than the highlander ... but even so u can just push the middle seat fordward and 3rd raw back and u will get plenty of room so i will always go for the highlander .. BEAST OVER ALL but i respect your opinion
The fog lamps need be led xle
had a good deal on the 2019 Pilot but i said lets wait on the Toyota Highlander lol damn no CarPlay etc... etc... damn Toyota falling fast
Ismail Kidd the u.s gets dumb down versions cause you need 10 cup holders to have a vehicle sell in the u.s
2020 will have CarPlay and Android Auto!
I’m still driving a 2002 highlander. I dunno how I survive with no phone integration at all....oh, that’s right, I shut it off.
Justin Xu But the other parts except the dash are fucking ass
Depan Inova reborn belakang all new rush
How can this even compete with the pilot?
Your 100% right
Alexander Lantigua the pilot is fugly no offence. This Toyota looks like an alpha.
D4S 3.5L V6.....puts the honda V6 to shame
NO HYRBID
It stays in my garage while your pilot stays in the mechanic garage
The interior looks old and unsophisticated. No Apple Carplay? Really Toyota?
I've got the SE with black leather interior. It looks much better then this colour. This is like Minivan grey... :)
Who cares? Smart people buy Toyota because they are reliable, not because of gimmicks. I drive a 2014 Toyota Matrix and you know what? It has NO Apple Carplay, but no problem, I can listen to the radio or the CD. Most importantly, NO repair bills. Only minimum maintenance such as a synthetic oil change every 16,,000km is required, I spend my Saturdays doing something useful instead of servicing my car.
@@zoltanpapp6458 I also still have my 2007 Pontiac Vibe which is basically the Matrix. 180000km and no issues.
@Joe Prestera. Excellent car! I have a 2005 Pontiac Vibe AWD which my son is driving now. 350,000km(!), driven through 13 Canadian winters and still no problems with the engine or automatic transmission. The air conditioning is not working anymore, I've had to replace a couple of oxygen sensors, EGR valves and wheel bearings over the years, but no other issues.
It’s going to be redesigned hopefully in the 2020 model year and then it will get CarPlay like all the new Entune 3.0 Toyota’s.
You didnt show how to bring up to 8 seats.
You have to get a model with a bench seat in the second row to make it 8 seats. You can't modify the bucket seat model like this one to 8 seats.
Do some practicality test like Carwow does
They are more realistic
No android auto, dealbreaker for me
Pete Niki there isn’t android auto on the new ones either. sucks to be you us apple users get to have it!! hahahahaha
Get aftermarket
People are really hooked on technology. I would get the car. I'm just finding out what car play and android auto was until I brought my new Murano. To me since I'm just getting used to all this technology having this car wouldn't bother me a bit. I would buy it.
2020 will have!
Vukovi Skins At least her phone is better, I own a XS MAX, XS, XR, 8, Galaxy s20, s10, s4, s2. If she has a Galaxy she has a better phone dumb ass. XD
