Comfortable ride and amazing features!

Love the mpg for the size of the vehicle! It is so comfortable to drive, and is so quiet compared to prior vehicles we have owned. I love the features like the sun/moonroof, the dual climate controls, and the hidden sun shades in the back were an amazing surprise. The safety features are fantastic, and I really appreciate the lane assist.

The vehicle was beautifully thought and built.

It has good reviews, and I can confirm that the reviews are indeed what we want to know about. I like the product because for its price and the year it was made, it was well put together. I have not experienced not one single issue since I purchased the vehicle and it is in wonderful shape now.

This would be my first choice, I love Toyotas!

This is roomy and gets great gas milage, plus it is a Toyota, so it is very dependable!

The semi electric functions of this car really make it a pleasure to drive.

My Toyota highlander hybrid is everything I thought it would be and more. It is a very easy car to drive, and nothing beats the heated steering wheel. I also love how it is good for the environment, as it uses half gasoline and half energy. It makes me feel like I am contributing to the fight to end climate change once and for all, just by driving this magnificent car.

Loving my Toyota highlander - loving life.

I really enjoy my car! The vehicle is fully loaded which makes traveling comfortable. The only thing I would change is the phone system. Sometimes it's hard to hear the speaker but it's something that is not a big deal. I just wish it was a little bit better.

Rating of the seats and the space in the back of the car.

The seats are really nice and comfortable. They are easy to put down and up! The full leather seats are super easy to clean up spills on. The other seats are also average to clean. There are a great amount of seats. There is a lot of room in the back of the car for road trips, grocery, and everything else you do with this car.

The size of the car is great.

The vehicle drives amazing. It gets great gas mileage. Very easy to navigate through a city. The back seat has 2 bucket seats. The hybrid model is great because you don't feel like driving a big gas guzzler. We put a camping trailer really easily and can 4x4 anywhere we want to go.

No more keys locked in car!

Toyotas are great cars. My favorite feature is the push button on the front doors-it does not let you lock your keys in your car. I'll have my keys in my purse and just walk up to my door - cars beeps and unlocks. The engine is powerful enough to keep up in la, but still gets over 21-23 mpg. Leather is a must.

Pros from Owners

Mel H.

Overall a very good car, very savvy. The maintenance is affordable. The gas is reasonable it is not so often I have to fill it up. The gas is smooth and the brakes are light and safe it is good recommend.

Cons from Owners

Mel H.

The vehicle looks a little outdated for my personal taste but overall there's not much to criticize. Overall there are more pros than cons with this car. Especially for a primary family car. But I would say to get the most updated version.
