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 I wanted to get 4runner but outdated and obsolete.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.

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. - 2.0
This toyota highlander xle
By Daniel on Tuesday, November 18, 2025
This model is not up to the standards of my 2012 Toyota highlander. I would recommend avoiding this make. Toyota does NOT stand behind its product. Even with an extended warranty, any trim is not covered. Plastic around the windshield deteriorated at 25000 miles and Toyota said that's not their fault that the plastic was inferior. So, I guess it is my fault. I will not buy another Toyota even though my last 3 SUVs were Toyotas. They do not stand behind their Complimentary Service at 5,000 miles. They charged me for my oil. Complimentary means free in my dictionary. I drive fewer than 10,000 miles per year so when i went for the next Comp Service at 10,000 miles it too was not complimentary. The Comp Oil Change cost $89. The vehicle is noisy, loose fitting, interior is inferior, though mpg is a bit better than my old one which had 159,000 miles on it when traded. I recommend that you look else where.
