2017 Toyota highlander with reliable performance and comfortable interior.
The 2017 Toyota highlander is a reliable car, at least from what I have seen. I bought it from a used car place, it was actually shipped from another state. There were no obvious issues, but the car's parking brake would make really bad creaking sounds when I used it, I am guessing the previous owners didn't use it much. The interior was well kept, except for a lot of scratches and some stains on the seats. There was also a tear on the passenger door interior, but it was all fixed soon after. There is no GPS or trunk opener from the inside which I was hoping there would be. You can make calls and connect your phone to the system so that's nice for listening to your own music and making calls without holding on to your phone. The seats are comfortable and they are a nice color. The car itself runs very well, no problems with the engine or brakes.

The Toyota highlander has great features including captain seats.
The Toyota highlander 2017 is a wonderful vehicle for families with children. Without a doubt, the reliability and safety is there a number one feature. I highly recommend other families looking for a car to look into buying a Toyota highlander. Would definitely buy another one.

I love my car! Toyota highlander.
The only thing I do not like is the gas mileage. I wish it didn't use that much gas. It performs really good even when I forget to do the oil change for months. I have always liked Toyotas. My family has always driven Toyotas. I have always thought Toyota are very reliable.

Great SUV for small family.
Our highlander has been the best vehicle we've ever owned. We've had zero problems. Fuel efficiency and maintenance are above average. Low road noise. I have never been able to get the Bluetooth to work but I do not miss it. Comfortable seats, power windows and locks.

Best SUV out there. It's a smooth ride and is a very attractive vehicle.
The highlander is a very nice SUV. It's got a lot of room with 3rd row seating. The passengers in back can control their air and heat which is nice. Great car for families and pets. It has a smooth ride and great on gas to be a larger SUV. Seat warmers are nice to have.

Nice vehicle for family of six.
We like our Toyota highlander overall because it provides just enough room for our family of 6 and 2 grandparents. It has been reliable so far for long road trips. It has basic features but suits our 'needs.' However, we have already had trouble with the ac fan going out. It would also be nice to have a bit more technology on board, but didn't want to pay the extra for it.

A great family vehicles!
We have been very pleased with our highlander. It is very comfortable and very safe! There is lots of room in the main cabin. There is not much trunk space but if you adjust the seats, you can create more trunk space. I would definitely purchase a highlander again.

A great vehicle for a mom with 2 kids.
I love my Toyota highlander. It is super reliable, needs very little maintenance, and runs super smooth. I have had the car for 3+ years now and have loved everything about it. The only negative thing I have to say is my seats are leather and after a long drive it starts being painful to sit and stops being comfortable. I wish the seats were a bit more comfy.

Toyota highlander car review.
The vehicle has comfortable leather seats. It is very spacious in the leg room area. It is easy to open and close the back gate. Very easy to fold down and up the seats. The vehicle performs well if maintenance is kept up. There are great safety features like lane assist.
Angelina C
on May 22, 2021
A car that is essential for everyday life.
Toyota is such a reliable and trusted car. The highlander is the perfect size. It is not too big and not too small. The leather interior is satisfactory. The drive is smooth and I have no complaints. I would definitely purchase a highlander myself in the future for my first car.

Love my highlander’s smooth ride and useful safety features.
The Toyota highlander has a smooth ride with easy to access controls on steering wheel. Blind spot alert and backup camera are helpful. Gas mileage is good for an SUV while not giving up on acceleration. I have had no mechanical problems after three years.

Wonderful retirement vehicle.
I love highlander it's a smooth comfortable ride plenty of legroom and headroom. Plenty of storage in cargo area. And the safety additions are great to keep you in your lane and awake to. The traffic around you. The gas mileage is very good for this size vehicle.

The best car ever! Ready to get another.
Great car. Comfortable for everyone. Room for lots of people. This one of the safest cars out there. So easy to drive. Lots of room for luggage etc.. Great choice of extras. I love my leather seats- they are heated! Love having a sunroof. This is probably my favorite car of all.
Cari P

Fantastic and family friendly.
Wonderful family vehicle. Reliable comfortable and spacious. Great on gas and smooth drive. Just took it on a 500 mile trip to OBX and it was awesome! I love the captain's chairs in The second row. It makes it easy for my oldest child to get through to the back and fits 2 car seats perfectly.

Highlander great times ahead!
We love our highlander! We are a family of 5 with a mix of car seat kids and non car seat kids! We use the 3rd row on occasion and our daughter and son will usually go there. I would totally recommend! The trunk could use a little more space. I also love the sensor to let you know that you are getting too close to another car.

2017 highlander review roomy.
I have had several highlanders and this model is my favorite to date. It is comfortable and roomy for car trips. I love the keyless entry feature the vehicle has too, makes life with children easier getting in and out of the car. The highlander’s optional 3rd row seating is very easy to use when you need an extra seat.
Amber F

2017 Toyota highlander se best SUV.
The 2017 highlander se is very spacious. Drives very well. I love the upgraded features of the se. The seats are very comfortable. Bother front seats have seats warmers. The body of the car is very nice looking. I would highly recommend this vehicle to my family and friends.

Get your Toyota highlander.
My car is amazing. Have not had any issues. Love Toyota. I have kids which is great for the leather seats. The heated seats have some in handy with the cold weather. The sunroof comes in handy for beautiful days and also makes me look good. I would recommend to anyone.

Great long lasting car buy the car.
It is pretty good so far and it runs on a great engine I love it so much it is worth buying for a reasonable price. I think this car can last for probably 7 to 10 years and it has long mileage. I would definitely buy this car twice it is just such a great car I love I love it. It has a variety of different beautiful colors.

Toyota highlander: nice rear view camera.
It drives smoothly, and I really love the rear view camera that makes backing out of parking spaces and driveways easier, and especially parallel parking. I do not like how it guzzles gas, I feel like I have to refill a lot. Other than that, I really like the car and I think it is a cute car. The inside is really nice and I like the heated butt warmers. The radio is nice too.
Sam M

Third row downfall: reasons why the third row is not the best fit.
I love all of the safety features this car has. Some examples are the lane leaving signal and alerting you if you need to be breaking. One of the things I do not like about the car is that the third row is not very comfortable. Car seats do not fit back there unless you have a small backless booster. It is not comfortable at all for an adult. It is also hard to access.

Toyota highlander review; spacious and reliable.
The Toyota highlander is a highly reliable car. Not only is it comfortable to drive, but it is comfortable as a passenger as well. It is a spacious. The car itself is wide, so that is something to keep in mind while driving, but you get used to it. I thoroughly enjoy driving it.

It's very safe to drive; I have peace of mind when I'm on the highway or traveling with children.
I bought this SUV as a replacement for my old Explorer. I thought I would like it just as well, but I like it even better than I thought. It gets great gas mileage and has excellent tech upgrades.
Jennie P

Perfect - between luxury and average.
Very pleased. Love the large moon roof, heated steering wheel, adaptive cruise and lumbar support. - and much more. Price was a little high but worth it for Toyota dependability. Love the hybrid. Wish it came in plug in. Feel it is between a luxury car and boring everyday vehicle.
Mesa M

This vehicle is perfect for families!
What sold me on a Toyota was having one from the age 16 to 23. After riding with my grandparents in their highlander, I knew it was the one I wanted. It is very spacious with room to grow for my family. It is smooth to drive. There are vents that go all the way back to the third row, which is very important to my husband and I for the kids! The third row lays down so you have room for pets or groceries or sports equipment!
Brady M

The amazing Toyota highlander.
The Toyota highlander is a great car for family. It has 3 rows of seats that can fit a total of 7 people in the car. The car is very comfortable and has its own air conditioning screen for the people in the second row. The seats in the highlander are reclinable and the driver's seat can adjust just the way you want to sit.
Tyler R
on March 18, 2021
Way more value in the standard options than the competition offers.
I really enjoy this vehicle, at this price point it is a great value buy and came with far more superior options than the competition when considering standard options included such as: lane departure assistance, blind spot monitors, and even a feature that automatically nudges you back into your lane if the car detects that you are drifting outside of your lane. The front seat storage options are very convenient and the below dash tray is super handy. In 3 years I have had no issues and as a first time Toyota buyer, I couldn't be more satisfied with my purchase.

Toyota Highlander has great safety features!
My Toyota Highlander is an excellent vehicle. It gets good gas mileage and drives with ease. It has many safety features which gives me piece of mind when driving my family around. The Toyota Highlander is spacious and easily sits 7 people. I love all of the features especially the navigation and Bluetooth.

Toyota highlander: the car to have.
I do not have any problems with it. I bought it new, it is been a very good car for me. It is very reliable and I have only had to take it into the shop once in the 6 months of having it (to get it the smog checked) I highly recommend this car. It is also very comfortable.
Peggy G

Great handling, plenty of space, enjoyable features.
The highlander drives beautifully and I love all of the features. It gives enough space for our family of 5 to travel long distances, and we can fit more people in if necessary. I love the hands-free features, although we did upgrade to the apple car play, but it was a minor cost and made the experience even better.

Top quality vehicle Toyota highlander.
Drives smoothly very comfortable easy to navigate features. I have lots of room in this vehicle easy to drive and makes for a nice ride. A/c in the rear for passengers is a nice feature along with setting temperatures for passengers. Overall very nice vehicle.
Lauren A

Perfect for trips and everyday use, and plenty of room for the dog to come along.
Good, dependable vehicle. Toyota usually has solid performance, but it is still hard to afford bells and whistles for one. It is great for taking the kids around and has a lot of room for trips. I wish they would include navigation for the le models. Overall, good, dependable car.

The Toyota highlander is a car for every individual no matter their background!
The Toyota highlander is a great car! If you are tall like me it gives you that extra space to make you feel comfortable. Speaking of space, it has three rows which is perfect for kiddos or for a road trip with friends! I would highly recommend this car to anyone!

Best SUV in the market for Medium families.
Super comfortable; drives pretty neatly. I get a lot of compliments because looks like a more expensive car, I really Love my car. It's actually my second Highlander. My husband loves that is a Toyota which means reliability.
Bryan S
on March 1, 2021
The car is great. The seats are comfy, everything is reliable. One thing that which Toyota needs to touch on is their operating system for the car. It looks really outdated and it lags a lot or the screen doesn't register my touches.
The car is great, fuel efficiency, comfort, anything you want. It's a great deal.
Jeanne M
on February 27, 2021
Easy practical, nice riding car to drive. Very functional.
Good sight lines on car, backup camera, automatic headlights. The only thing I do not like is the gas saving device when the car is stopped. You can manually turn it off, but I really do not like it. I like the bench seat in the model and the fact that it has a third seat. We do not use the third seat that often but it is nice to have. The car is easy to maneuver for parking and backing up. The back-up camera works well.

Great car for an active family.
My family and I love our highlander. This car is great for big families because of its size and three rows of seats. If you need more space in the back all you need to do is easily put down the seats. One of my favorite features however is the control center on the car. It is equipped with Bluetooth for all your favorite music as well as phone calls. It is very easy to manage.
Stefanie M

It has enough room for my entire family to ride in comfort.
I haven't had any problems. It is very reliable. I feel safe driving my family around in my vehicle. Toyota is a brand I trust. It is solid built so I am not worried about being stranded anywhere. It has all the features I want and is roomy and comfortable to ride in.

Dark blue Toyota highlander.
The seats stain quite easily. And they are very hard to clean. The dashboard radio and console are very higher quality and are really easy to figure out and use. I also, really love the blue color paint and it is very good at not getting scratched or chipped at all.
Vanessa D

Toyota are amazing and reliable automobiles.
Love the performance on my SUV, never had an issue. This car is super reliable. The third role seats are a little uncomfortable compared to the 2011 highlander. The backup camera works great. I feel like all Toyota models are great specially the corolla and Camry are great gas efficient cars.
Jacki R
on February 12, 2021
Still comfortable after a 14 hour drive.
The navigation system is old. It does not have current addresses. It was this way when we first purchased the car. It also does not permit the passenger to use it when the vehicle is moving. There is a wind sound coming from the windows when the vehicle is moving at 50 mph or higher. Other than the above complaints, the vehicle appears to be safe and performs well.
Gary G
on February 11, 2021
Rides and looks great! Service!
I love the ride, the gas mileage, and the features of my highlander. Compared to other vehicle that I have had, the Toyota service far exceeds the jeep dealer that I had before. I like the spaciousness, and convenience of the features, especially the side mirror blind spot alert.
Favour A

My Toyota is a really great car. It is black and pretty shiny.
I really like my car! It is a pretty new car if I do say so myself. It does sometimes need oil changes but it is overall good. Mine came with a TV inside so the kids were entertained. It also had gaming controllers which were very fun. The car is great and also recent. I recommend you to buy it.

10/10 would recommend the highlander.
I love my highlander. It is extremely reliable - I have driven across the country 3 times with it and one of those times with a uhaul, had no problems at all and it was overall an enjoyable experience. I have had no problems with it. The only complaint is the radio, I feel like for a 2017 model it could be a little more updated. I also love the cruise control.
Patricia O
on February 5, 2021
Great family car! We really enjoy the space and how flexible the seating can be.
The size is perfect for our family of 4. I like the back seats being bucket seats. Also that the back seats fold down flat so I can carry almost anything I want. The car drives really well and handles well. I also appreciate it uses regular unleaded gas! The third row seating is very convenient when the kids have friends with them.

Space, comfort, and safety.
Very spacious and lots of trunk space as well. The heated seats are amazing. The car won't lock with keys inside but I do not like that it will also not lock if the car is turned on you take the keys out. I love the way you can adjust the seats with buttons instead of having to do it manually.

Great family car with lots of great features
I love my vehicle and haven't had any issues with it; however, the seats could be more comfortable and I wish the third row had more leg room as it's very tight. Also, I wish there was a way to permanently turn off the feature that kills the engine when you are stopped at a light or whatever.
Jill E

2017 highlander smooth ride.
I like the comfort and smooth ride of my highlander. I do not like the gas saving feature that shuts the engine down at every stop sign. I have had issues that has not been resolved. I can park my car in the garage and go out the next day and hear a pump running. I believe it is the fuel pump. The dealership has not resolved this issue.
Roshni P

Best SUV for the money and is highly recommended.
Have had no problems. SUV is very well made and is very comfortable for long drives. Plenty of cargo room. Great ergonomics. Great warranty. Lifetime drivetrain warranty and free service for the first two years wish Toyota offered apple play on this model.

Highlander limited best ride.
The Toyota highlander limited is fully loaded besides it not having a car starter. It is comfortable and very spacious. The highlander is classy and reliable. It has all the necessary safety features including blind spot, adaptive cruise control, collision warning, and backup camera.

My ‘ol reliable car: Toyota highlander.
My car runs really well, and is not a gas guzzler, very spacious with Bluetooth accessibility, and USB ports in the front and back. Seat warmers for the front of the car. Sometimes a little bit of car starting problems in the winter but overall it is not a big problem. Air conditioning works perfectly and heats up the car very quickly. Nothing has broken down on me yet.

Toyota highlander is great for work and family use!
I love that the highlander allows me to seat 7 with captain chairs in the second row. The versatility to completely fold down both the second and third row seats makes it perfect for work where I have to transport large items and boxes. The third row is more ideal for 3 kids/teens than 3 adults but works for short trips!
Nicole R

Great roomy, comfortable and safe car! Esp for large families.
We've had no problems so far with our car. It drives great, is super comfortable and roomy for. An 8 passenger vehicle. We live in upstate NY so the automatic bright lights is wonderful, and makes it so easy at night. I love the safety features I.E: lane departure alerts, side view detection, rear view camera. If I could change anything I’d like a rear view camera alert, some cars beep when you are getting to close while reversing, this one does not. The trunk does not always open when car is on, I am sure it is a safety feature, but sometimes it is annoying. I find myself having to switch from park to drive back to park to open trunk. But overall I love my car.
BARBARA B
on January 17, 2021
My 2017 highlander experience.
Rides slightly rough for such a large SUV, otherwise the vehicle is very nice and comfortable. Purchased used but it was as new about 6 months age. So far absolutely no problems. It very large interior which we love and has all the bells and whistles. I love the integrated phone and the pop-up window works separate from the full trunk.
George M

3rd row seating, technology is very good.
The highlander replaced our Lexus rx350. Even though they both have the same engine the highlander seems to lag a bit, but the highlander weighs about 350 pounds more than the Lexus.
Kris D

We love how great it is to travel long distances.
The car so far has been great really comfortable for a big family and very good for driving long distances. Just recently drove to Florida with the family and we're really enjoying it. We have no complaints about it and we hope everyone else enjoys it too.

Spacious third row family vehicle.
The car rides comfortably especially for longer trips. It has plenty of storage for two gadgets and necessities. The car drives well on all road types including water and snow. The second and third rows have enough space for car seats and normal sized adults, with the adults having enough space and not feeling cramped. There is plenty of storage for luggage, etc. A few things I do not like are the amount of blind spots that exist for shorter people. The car does have good pick up once going, but has a little lag in the beginning. The back car doors do not open wide enough to comfortably get a child in and out. Overall, a good size family car.

Toyota Highlander is a safe technologically-advanced car that is versatile for your family and will keep your loved ones safe.
I like my vehicle because it is safe. I like my vehicle because it is comfortable and rides quietly. I feel like I'm doing my part by driving a hybrid vehicle.

Twenty seventeen Toyota highlander.
My Toyota highlander does everything I expected it to do. I do not have any problems with it. I take it in to the dealership for regularly scheduled maintenance which keeps it in great condition. The only drawback to the vehicle is the auto bright lights feature does not go off in a timely manner when a car is approaching from an oncoming position.
Kimesa S
on January 7, 2021
It is a totally great vehicle.
I haven't had any problems with my highlander. It is an amazingly comfortable ride, plenty of legroom. My back seat is two captains rather than a bench which I really like. It is great on mileage, better than I thought it would be. I have all the safety features and I love the front end alert and lane alert. The only thing I can say is be prepared for the steering to auto correct if using some of the safety features. I love this vehicle.
Bernice M

Dependable, safe, best value for the price, a workhorse, and it looks good!

Highlander; family car for everyone.
Bought the highlander after several friends recommended it as a great family car. So far it drives well and upkeep has been easy. We take the car on long trips and its roomy for my family of 3. I love the option to put up a third row if needed but we haven't used it!
Lucy D

A great family car with a great ride.
The Highlander is very comfortable and has room for the whole family. The seats are comfortable and the ride is very smooth. The car handles well and his many safety features. Sensors alert you when someone is in your blind spot and there are alerts when too close.

Toyota highlander XLE! A great family vehicle.
The Toyota highlander is spacious. My children love the captain's chairs. The third row makes it easy to cart extra passengers. The third row also folds down to give extra trunk space. It was large enough to transport two 7 ft boxed bookcases. It comes in a variety of exterior colors. The powerful v6 engine makes it a joy to drive and the ecosystem is a great help on gas mileage. The ac is ice cold and extends all the way to the trunk space. My only complaint about the vehicle has to be the blind spot between the corner windshield and the drivers side mirror. If you are short it makes left turn a little bit difficult.
Nick G
on December 27, 2020
The car that almost competes with the Prius on gas mileage.
The Toyota highlander is the most reliable vehicle I have ever driven. It has good gas mileage and it is very consistent. It is powerful but too not powerful. It gives me everything I could ever want in a car. It is very spacious on the inside and it has good amount of space to put travel bags.
Anne D

The highlander is stylish and practical, it's a great car for a family.
The Highlander is solid, well built, and reliable. It is nicely styled and comfortable. It presents well. It's expensive, but quality for the money. The built-in navigation system isn't great and i still use google maps on my phone.
Jackie B

Reliable car that drives well and is safe.
It drives well. Feels smooth and is comfortable. I really like all of the safety features it comes with and this is why we chose the 2017 over the 2016. I am able to see over the front of the car so I feel as though I have a better view. But the blind spots are definitely apparent.

Toyota highlander is a good family vehicle.
The car is comfortable and roomy. It is reliable. It is easy to drive and has a smooth ride. All of the controls are easy to find and reach. Heat and air work well. Trunk space is good and third row is convenient. The only complaint is the auto stop feature which tends to be very sensitive. Backup camera is useful as well as the side mirror lights.

Brake issue should have been Warrantied!!!!
We traded our 2011 Sienna in on a 2017 Highlander XLE and after nearly 4 years of ownership, I have many likes and just one dislike. It "fits" our needs brilliantly. It holds almost anything we need to "carry". It is comfortable and the AWD is amazing in snow after years of driving 2WD ( front or rear). The "dislikes"? The minor one is the 3rd row seat which is "adequate" but only for pre-teen kids although I have been back there and at 6 foot 2 I "fit" but wouldn't want to be back there for more than 15-20 minutes. Not really an issue though as 99% of the time the seat is down. The other "issue" is a bit more concerning. At 58,000 kms ( Canadian measure actually just under 40,000 miles) I brought it in for the 8000 km ( 5000 mile) service which should have been just an inspection and an oil change. I got a call just 15 minutes after the appointment and thought " it can't be done already?" and sure enough it ws the Service Manger informing me that the front brake pads were at less than 20%. Less than 3 months before the dealership had measured them at 70% left. I was told that the "pin" that the calipers slides on had seized causing the brake to drag ( I honestly didn't notice any effects on fuel mileage or smell etc). I was hit with a $300 plus Bill for new brake pads although our vehicle.

It drives very smoothly. I like that it carries up to 7 people.
I like the sun roof. I like the leather seats. I like the navigation. I don't like the remote start. I don't like the storage.

Spacious and has 7 seats to fit all the people in our family
It has 3 rows and is very spacious inside; the screen interface is good, rear camera very helpful for driving and the warning for lane departure and brake is awesome

Great looking and reliable vehicle.
We love our Highlander. We have not had any problems with this car in the year we have driven our car. The drive is comfortable and love the heated seats. Plenty of room and love the look of the car.

I feel that the Highlander is a well made vehicle with a reputation for durability. I prioritized a vehicle with a leather interior and third row, both which mine has. Having the third row makes it extremely versatile for extra passengers or more storage. I did purchase the vehicle used and have noticed it is quite loud on the highway but it appears there is a specific issue causing it to sound like a window isn't sealed. I would prefer the Highlander sat up higher but otherwise love it!
I've found the Highlander to be reliable and was fairly comfortable purchasing it at a high number of miles which is nearly the same number of miles my dying vehicle had!

The side railings are a great asset for shorter people.
Problems with radio not working correctly. Performance has been great along with reliability. Comfort is next to none I feel like I am at home, relaxed. I love all the safety features it offers and the back view mirror. Only thing I wish it had was more storage space but other than that, I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Reasons why I love my highlander.
I love my highlander. It has no problems at all. It is completely reliable. It is very comfortable to ride in and drive. The back up camera is clear and easy to see. The cars early signaling system tells me when people or things or too close to my car. On cruise control, the car basically drives itself. The interior is of high quality and shows no signs of wear. The light-up dash is high--end. I especially like the attention to small details; like the lights at the bottom of the cup holders. The interior led lights are top-notch.

It is the family car of the year!
I actually love my SUV, it has never gave me a problem. It rides smooth and although its a big SUV it rides and handles like a car. It's very comfortable and the trunk pass is big and also has a 3rd row when you have extra people tagging along. It gives on average 25 miles to the gallon. My vehicle features lane and brake awareness so if I get too close to another car my alarm will sound for me to brake.. It can hold up 7 passengers. Toyota is a great choice and I would highly recommend this vehicle.

The Toyota highlander can take you to new heights.
Sleek looking design, drives smoothly and is an easy car to drive, good safety feature, nice accessories, does decently on gas, good medium size car. Perforated seats are nice but easier to get holes. Needs a front end system to help park. Seats are not super comfortable but are fine.

It is not bad on gas either which is a positive for a mom always on the go.
I was needing a bigger vehicle for my three sons who play sports. I didn't think I'd ever find anything I’d love more than my Sorento but my Toyota highlander proved me wrong. I got the 3rd row to separate them as much as I could because you know how three boys can be. My car has the lane detection feature which comes in handy for all the times I have to look in my rearview mirror and tell them to quit their fighting. If we decide to lay the seats down for more trunk space, there’s enough room in the middle row for 2 car seats and a booster seat.

I have had it for a long time and it is the best, most comfortable car I have driven.
The stability of the car while driving is very smooth. The gray seats make the blue of the car pop more. I love driving it since the seats are very comfortable and it is easy to drive. The Bluetooth the cars has is amazing for when I need to listen to my own music, or podcasts, or when talking with friends or family in a phone call while driving.

Spacious! Great vehicle ever.
Very comfortable, spacious, economical, easy to drive no problems at all even drives good in bad weather. Big rear space for grocery shopping or any other errands or even when moving things around. Let’s me know when out of line or any other issues car is having as soon as possible.

Highlander is a great choice.
It's great plenty of room for my grandson. Love the feature that shows you what's behind you when your backing up.

SUV for all types of drivers.
The vehicle is a comfortable and we'll designed mid-sized SUV. It is large enough to handle any large family or group of people. It is well equipped for the daily commute or long road trip. The engine can handle any workload placed into it. For the casual commuter or the road warrior, the vehicle can deliver.Recreational.

Toyota highlander is the best!
We love our highlander because it is spacious, has a backup camera, has Bluetooth, and numerous places for electronic charging. The car is reliable and comfortable. It has been our main car for traveling because of the space it provides. While being everything and more, it also is a great looking car!

Overall a great car. Very nice features that make driving nice.
It works amazingly. It has an incredible sound system. It has incredibly convenient features that make driving less stressful such as alerting you when you are too close to an object. It has a very smooth feel when you are driving it and the suspension is good. I also love the seat heaters.

2017 Toyota highlander, great mom car!
Safety features are great, lane assistance is very helpful. The gas mileage is very reasonable for an SUV at 23 miles per gallon. Accessibility to the third row is easy. I just wish the second row folded completely down. Storage is great. Easy to drive, maneuvers, and park.

The hybrid has a lot of power which I did not realize prior to test driving it.
Really like the power of the hybrid. I also like the safety features on the vehicle

I love this vehicle and will definitely recommend.
I am a huge fan of this vehicle! It has heated/cooling seats. It has GPS with backup camera that are a huge benefit. The ride is smooth and easy to maneuver. The look is sleek and modern. It has Bluetooth connectivity and voice command capability.
