- I get asked all of the time: what do I recommend for a reasonably priced 3rd-row SUV? So, I figured it was a good time to see how one of the segment’s key players was holding up. This is the Toyota Highlander Hybrid.
MSRP as-tested: $49,749

My favorite part was the "Spy mirror to help dispense justice" :D
I still like it a lot. Drove a brand new rental one once. It does the basic functions expected from a vehicle very well. I am amazed how many car manufacturers get the basics wrong.
Steve, your video reviews are, in my humble opinion, the best on the web! Thank you for your hard work!
jpmackin Can’t tell you how much I appreciate that!
Excellent review, thaanks. I did not know the existence of this good product with such favorable characteristics.
This toasted almond exterior is everything!
Fair and well-put, as always.
Thanks!
How does it compare to the Chevy Traverse High Country? I am leaning toward the High Country. Thanks.
Despite its age, the Highlander and its hybrid variant is still one of Toyota's best sellers. The Highlander is also the reason why you don't see many Sequoias either. (He tested it previously.)
Billy Sou I think that the Tahoe and Expedition being superior to the Sequoia in almost every way is why you don’t see very many very Sequoias. Aside from reliability, there is no reason to buy a Sequoia when it lags behind its competitors and is hilariously outdated. Toyota needs to quit being lazy with their trucks and more people will buy.
Sequoia is old and very behind the times.
Hybrid all the way.
.This is a vehicle model very well thought out to give solution to many of the needs of the consumers. I think that the screen of the entertainment center should be replicable in the console that is on the exit of the air conditioning of the second row of seats.
will u review the facelifted 2019 Honda pilot blackedtion when u get a chance :)
Working on it. Stay tuned.
I remember back in the olden days when justice dispensation was done via a shoulder check and conversation tunnel.
Toyota has just set a new high bar for discipline and style!
Good one!!
Khu NoPie a distant memory.
Awesome SUV, Great review 👍
Thanks, man!
I have had mine for two years. Mine is the XLE. Nice, but only average 22mpg all around.
The good old reliable Highlander :)
Hi Steve, a little off topic here, but I wondered when you'll be driving the turbo engine Hyundai Kona? I'm interested in how you think it compares to the turbo Kia Soul?
Kona will be here but not until 10/30.
Will the next Highlander be built on the same modular platform that's used on the Camry?
TNGA the rest of the way!
still can't believe at 50k theres halogen lighting
The NHTSA shouldn’t give a recommend rating to any car using them.
👍👍👍
Sad to think but...I do kinda want one of these highlanders! No fuss...no worries about unforeseen "items" in need of recall/repair, just a competent SUV that allows one to travel unnoticed...
Is the Chevy Tahoe on the radar?

So Steve, if this isn’t the reasonably priced three row SUV you’d recommend to people, what is?
I would guess that it's either the Mazda CX-9 or the Chevy Traverse, but I could be wrong
I'd probably go Traverse at this point.
Nice review.. try to make it longer next time . Maybe about 10 minutes vedio
Flattered you want more ;-)
The 3rd row seems awfully small. I think that’s why a lot of families with more than two kids end up in full size SUVs instead of this. Kids will outgrow that 3rd row pretty quickly.
I’m 5’11” and with proper seat adjustments I can fit on both 2nd and 3rd row seats. In other words I can fit six men as tall as me in the Highlander in a pinch. But you’re absolutely right if you need more space get a suburban or a mini van
It’s time for a refresh Toyota
Miguel Ircontar they did... for 2017
Miguel Ircontar Toyota refresh is long over due!
This 3rd generation Highlander just came out in 2014. A refresh was made in 2017 so what kind of refresh do you need? Maybe you should wait for the 4th generation Highlander. Hey at least the Highlander is not like the Dodge Journey,! The journey hasn’t changed any since 2009!!
ahem .. First
But it's not a plug-in and they won't make it one, so unfortunately... 👎 👎 👎
