Am I the only one who watches Tophers videos like ASMR? They're so soothing haha

This is an instant class - better that their BMW, Mercedes, Audi counterparts in value, performance, styling and reliability - not to mention gas mileage. Unreal. Great job, Toyota. Absolute dream car.

I’ve been really impressed with what Toyota/Lexus has brought to the table over the last few years. They’ve definitely made an effort to modernize their lineup, a lot of their vehicles have come a very long way since they first launched. Including the highlander, the new Tundra and Sequoia, new Tacoma is gonna dominate its segment, the Prius has come a long way. The new Lexus’ look amazing the RX, GX, TX and LX.

This is the best looking Highlander imo and this colour is sick!!!

Toyota really hits home run with this grand Highlander with 7 siter👌

Chris, The 35 mpg Grand Highlander 'Hybrid Min' with the standard, non-turbo Toyota hybrid setup would be good enough for most family CUV duties . 😁

Did you enjoy driving the grand highlander or cx90 better ?

I was trying to buy a Hylander Hybrid but the dealerships are too slow so I decided to buy an Acura 2023 MDX

Just bought Gah Hybrid limited yesterday, love it!

8:48 how is the transmission there if this is FWD-based/transverse?

[genuinedagger]

By the way the car you use cost without any accessories 57k before tax & anything else

So it's with accessories will reach up to 59k

REALLY wished 2nd row was not captain chairs. I need all the seats I can get.

[zaerrius]

[khaledalshemare]

Very exquisite review, thanks for sharing. I am planning to buy either platinum or limited version of the amazing grand Highlander.

I'm curious to see what the future of the Highlander will be. Wonder if they'll just give it 2 rows in the next gen.

I wonder if the second row seats can be removed

[MariktheWolf]

ive driven these cars with that IR face tracker...and i can see the little red lights when its dark...feel like im being watched...

[TriangIe]

Toyota’s new warning chime is quite interesting

[newphone]

Can you compare road noise of this car and the regular highlander?

[almassengale]

This will be a giant seller if Toyota can make enough of them. Better quality and functionality than a Kia or Hyundai. Much better available fuel economy and better tech than a Pilot.
