Looker with reliability
By Car enthusiasts | on Sunday, February 23, 2020
I have purchased 2020 highlander limited a month ago. I have waited almost 5 years to find the right one for me. This highlander limited has a mean aggressive look and LED head lights. Better looks than previous models. 2nd row has better leg room and very comfortable. Seats recline and nice. 1200 watts stereo is clear and awesome. Sounds better than my s class. Safety features already saved me from hitting backing up. I wanted to get 4runner but outdated and obsolete. Too bad.... I really like this one. So cal gets hot, this car has ventilated seats and heated seats. Believe me you ll like it. Only con is small fuel tank only goes 300miles. Old 4runner of mine traveled 360 miles.… - 5.0
One Sharp Looking Ride.
By Gizmo | on Thursday, January 13, 2022
This Highlander XSE is a head-turner. Not your typical soccer mom vehicle. It looks like it’s ready to hit the track at the Daytona 500. This model is screaming Testosterone, not the Highlander of old. Women and Men of all ages will enjoy driving this vehicle. Very Responsive and sporty looks. Toyota Quality Built. I purchased it for my wife but, I drive it every chance I get. Yes it hauls 7-People.… - 5.0
Oh what a feeling once again!
By Doug | on Friday, April 01, 2022
So my spouse and I have owned our 2020 Highlander XLE AWD since Sept 2020. This was our 1st Highlander and we where blown away by its ride, pickup, gas mileage, quality, etc. We loved it so much we went back and Purchased a 2021 Highlander Limited. In the past 11 years we have owned a 2006 Rav 4 Limited awd, a 2011 Camry XLE v6, a 2015 Camry XSE V6, a 2018 Rav4 XLE awd, a 2019 Corolla XSE, and now both Highlanders. We are true diehard Toyota fans. Except for basic maintenance we have never been stuck or put out anywhere. They run forever, and hold their value.. We can not wait to see what else Toyota comes out with next..…
