Rode in an xle the other day. Really nice. The seats in the front seemed a little tight to me. I think it is because of the console. They are great suvs.
Thanks so much for your videos, edutainment at it's best. I'm about to be a 1st time Toyota owner and I couldn't be more excited because I feel confident in knowing what I'm getting thanks to your videos.
My thoughts on the highlander? Great SUV, my dads friend owns a black one, great vehicle to sit in, perfect family suv. Hate the rim color though on the Bronze. Maybe if it was with black or like a militaristic green they’d look good, or just brown. But on a white vehicle, not a huge fan. Great review as always Jeff!❤️
Very informative Jef, thanks!! If possible please do a review on 2022 highlander hybrid xle I've ordered one and have to wait for about 5 months from now!
Probably the best hybrid option out there. Wish Toyota used a 2.7 i4 option or even better a 3.5v6 for the hybrids. I think they use that 2.5 to achieve the 600 + miles range but wish it have good power like gas variant. That e-CVT is a smart choice IMO vs CVT with belts / pullies & bs used in competition.Wish Toyota revisit the 3rd row design to give bit more led room while keeping usable cargo space. That 1500w inverter is brilliant. Wish I had that on my 4R to heat the food fast on our trips. I'd like to see one button to move 2nd row for 3rd row entry. Thank goodness there is 18in wheel option for a trim that has good options. I HATE large wheels vs I LOVE big tires. That media USB should me near qi charging pad.
Thank you for your review. I have a Bronze model on reserve so looking forward to seeing it in person. Your review helped with seeing the options. I have a large dog crate I plan to use and plan to test the rear view mirror option with it.
Hello Jeff, thank you for great review. You have pointed digital rear view mirror. However, I saw it is only available at the Platinum Trim level. Is it new for 2022?
exactly my thoughts. there is no color variation/contrast/shading on the wheel as you might expect from an OEM. It seems like they literally got a can of spray paint at the local store and didn't care.
Jeff I just joined your channel tonight after watching the show you did with AMD. Thank you for that. I asked him for a comparison between RAV 4, 4 Runner, Highlander, Land Cruiser, and Planet destroyers? Anyway on the Bronze. I’m not a fan of the color. It might pop on something other than white though. They say imitation is the finest form of flattery and I see the Highlander is a bit too Range River ish IMMHO. I do like the size though. How the heck do you see much out of the tiny 2nd and 3 row windows? I’m a tall man at 6’4” so I might should gravitate towards the larger trucks. My neighbor is a Toyota employee and is driving a RAV 4. I think this is her 2/3 one in the 2/3 years she has lived behind me. Anyway she lives the products and offers to let me test whatever I desire. Now that’s a neighbor! Thank you again for the information I look forward to your other reviews. Now I wonder what the Bronze package would look like on Dark Blue or Black? Humm I can almost see it now…
Hi Bob!! Yes AMD is a great and interesting guy…I’ve enjoyed working with him. I don’t like the bronze wheels for a vehicle I’d own myself but I’m sure others will like it :) I’m glad you’re part of my channel!
I have 2020 Highlander Limited & I personally don’t like the color combination, however the only thing I am slightly jealous of is the rear view camera mirror, that would have been nice to include in the limited. ☹️
definitely fun review! Not a fan of the bronze look. I can't get any straight answers from my local dealer oh how the hybrid system works. They told me it is NOT a plug-in but brochure says it is. I need to know how the hybrid system works. Help!
Drove one last night. Had tow package and roof rack. $52 out the door. Msrp (plus options). Walked away. Wanted it for $48k. They said no and they would sell it for a $5k mark up today. It’s still there today. Haha. (Not at Fred’s. Someone else). Ps. I haven’t met anyone who likes the seats or wheels.
Jeff Your always funny and interesting. I'm struggling with a couple of things 1.First Inventory. 2.Second, I thought the 2022 Toyota Highlander XLE and up came with a Power Passenger seat with Lumbar support like the Driver. Can You confirm?! 🧡💛.I'm considering getting one but this is a deal breaker for Me being 6ft 4inch and 250!! 👍💯.My Wife and I Love your show and creative ability to blend culture and diversity! Sorry about the Michigan Lost to Georgia. I was Pushing for them even though I'm a Georgia Guy born there but raised in NYC!! The Best!! I support Northeast Teams!Love North Carolina too!!

@@MaMa-so4nn I am in the market for Highlander. Did you end up getting the Bronze edition in White? How you like it? I have some reserve on the wheel color.
I was told by a Toyota salesperson that no one can order a car from a factory with accessories you want. Toyota gives dealerships whatever they want with preinstalled accessories such as protection package#3. Is that a true statement?
Generally no that’s not a true statement. Each dealer has different rules about what they will and will not do as far as ordering. Some regions might have different rules on that, in which case the salesperson would be mostly right too
So dissappointed Toyota has gone to 4 cylinder and cvt trans. Was hoping to replace our highlander this year (Third one we’ve had). No go..sorry Toyota
Rode in an xle the other day. Really nice. The seats in the front seemed a little tight to me. I think it is because of the console. They are great suvs.
Thanks for watching! Let's get your thoughts on Highlander and Highlander Hybrid. What trim works best for you? Jeff
AWD LE
Are you going to review Highlander Limited hybrid 2022as well ? Thanks
Thanks Jeff! Your channel is the best. I’ll probably keep watching even when we get a vehicle 👍🏾
That’s a huge compliment thanks!!

Toyota Highlander….
The George Hamilton Edition!!!
Jeff…where’s my car horn???
I need MORE car horn….let’s go!!!
Great review. I watched all your Highlander information before I purchased my 2021 Highlander XLE. They’re wonderful vehicles!
Jeff, I hear that 'against all odds', Toyota USA sold over 580,000 Hybrids in 2021, thoughts?
Great informative and funny review. Thinking about picking up a used one of these.
Love to know the gas mileage range with the hybrid. Considering XLE hybrid highlander.
Very informative Jef, thanks!! If possible please do a review on 2022 highlander hybrid xle I've ordered one and have to wait for about 5 months from now!

Hey how long does it take Toyota to accept a factory order for a 2022 highlander v6. I paid my deposit yesterday…
Hello Jeff, thank you for great review. You have pointed digital rear view mirror. However, I saw it is only available at the Platinum Trim level. Is it new for 2022?
How does this get 36mpg on the highway. My rav4 prime only get 32mpg and it’s smaller
Thanks so much for this review!
It’s beautiful. I just got the hybrid platinum
I Do not think I have seen a SUV as great as this one! Love the Gold wheels and style. #TOYOTA #HIGHLANDER
Wheels look like they were rattle canned bronze. Is this the lowest trim available for the Highlander now?
exactly my thoughts. there is no color variation/contrast/shading on the wheel as you might expect from an OEM. It seems like they literally got a can of spray paint at the local store and didn't care.
"L" for lowest. But might as well be this one.

Hi Jeff. Any updates for 2023 highlander hybrid?
Good video. I think I would laugh at the jokes and it would help ease the pain of being taken to the cleaners buying a vehicle
Hi Jeff what is the main difference between the Highlander, and Sienna and sequoia
does this car come with GPS? I saw the button had “ MAP” . But not thing there
I have 2020 Highlander Limited & I personally don’t like the color combination, however the only thing I am slightly jealous of is the rear view camera mirror, that would have been nice to include in the limited. ☹️
please make review about 2022 highlander hybrid XLE vs Limited
Jeff, awesome video as always. It seems that a platinum hybrid cannot have a digital rear view? So strange
definitely fun review! Not a fan of the bronze look. I can't get any straight answers from my local dealer oh how the hybrid system works. They told me it is NOT a plug-in but brochure says it is. I need to know how the hybrid system works. Help!
The bronze seems to go best with the new cavalry blue paint, or maybe red/tan, but doesn't go as well with white/silver/graphites.
Drove one last night. Had tow package and roof rack.
$52 out the door. Msrp (plus options).
Walked away. Wanted it for $48k. They said no and they would sell it for a $5k mark up today. It’s still there today. Haha.
(Not at Fred’s. Someone else).
Ps. I haven’t met anyone who likes the seats or wheels.
What’s the tow rating?
Looks beautiful i like it
Excpet the rims. I like all the added-on features on the bronze edition. Gun-metal color rims will be much better.

11:12 of the video shows passenger power seat…..🤓
Oh no! TOYOGUARD Platinum strikes again!
I'm looking into getting a Platinum Highlander Hybrid.
At that price range the Navigation should be standard.
Nice job.
I like it!
Is that every highlander hybrid bronze edition had second backup camera? Or two camera at the back? Mean the Mirror cam?
Two cameras at the back. One for the reverse and one for the digital rear view mirror
@@wlit thank you , I already had this car
@@MaMa-so4nn I am in the market for Highlander. Did you end up getting the Bronze edition in White? How you like it? I have some reserve on the wheel color.
@@wlit i got the black one. But the kick trunk doesn’t work. Need to check it out what’s wrong
@@MaMa-so4nn I heard if you have a tow hitch the kick trunk will not work. You will need to find out where the kick sensor is and relocate it.
Hi Jeff
"Bronze yourself" ? Eddie Murphy had a line in 24 Hours which I won't repeat here. Jeff might recall.
I was told by a Toyota salesperson that no one can order a car from a factory with accessories you want. Toyota gives dealerships whatever they want with preinstalled accessories such as protection package#3. Is that a true statement?
Generally no that’s not a true statement. Each dealer has different rules about what they will and will not do as far as ordering. Some regions might have different rules on that, in which case the salesperson would be mostly right too
Wheels are too small if they were bronze in the size of the limited wheel, much better. I would love a hybrid xse trim in the Highlander
I like it
Love the singing
Wish it had a black interior
Yes lol You are good.
Third best
Yay Dave!!
bronze wheels🤮 waste with white body color should have with black edition instead
literally looks like someone got a random can of spray paint at the auto parts store and didn't care what color it was.
Hate those bronze wheels. Looks ghetto!
unbelievable that Toyota actually is producing this.
The only problem is 3rd row
Jeff,
I see, "Christina" Driving/owning this Hybrid Bronze Edition.
I could totally see that!
she went for the "XP" package, right?
Second
Hi there SECOND!
Hate the rim color. They need to fix that brother.
I do not like the bronze wheels, cheap looking in my opinion.
So dissappointed Toyota has gone to 4 cylinder and cvt trans. Was hoping to replace our highlander this year (Third one we’ve had). No go..sorry Toyota
True that Toyota could have use a V6 but why not the eCVT they use in this? Any reliability concerns? Hope you are not mistaken by the name "CVT".
@@LionRunner Very reliable eCVT planetary gear power split device. No belts.
@@toronado455 exactly my point. Not many know that.
The V6 is still available on many trims with a traditional transmission. Just don’t buy a hybrid.
@@motobc2251 I think he means a V6 hybrid.
Those rims 🤮
😂
First
We have a WINNER
Those wheels have gotta go.
they are the worst.
it's a special edition. it's not going to appeal to everyone
Bronze wheels… Meh! Rest of the vehicle looks great though.
Bronze looks terrible on those wheels. They give off a plastic look like cheap hubcaps.
Tech is just so behind
Do not care for bronze wheels.
Hideous rims
Ugliest Toyota edition
