I have had mine for four months. Best vehicle I have ever owned. Spectacular in every way.

Definitely light years ahead of the previous generation. Honestly it’s kinda sad that Toyota is doing these amazing redesigns to their smaller cars up to the highlander and sienna but their large suvs and trucks are very behind

You missed the rear view camera wash which really helps here in snow country, and the button with the wiper display is not for the rear wiper but the heater for deicing the front wipers, overall a great reliable car ! Cheers !!

Thank you Ben for reviewing this beauty, I saw one the other day near the hospital in front of me a a stop light her in Oregon & I mentioned to my coworker who was in the vehicle with me how beautiful & costly that Hylander must be & I guessed it was around $50K. I imagine the driver (a man) who was behind the wheel was a doctor or some other professional because who else could afford a $52K vehicle these days? TBH why would anyone in their right mind purchase a Lexus RX 350 for $60K when you could get the Toyota Platinum Highlander Hybrid for thousands less?

The extra storage is to leave your phone when you are using the far left USB and it will connect to the radio. This is great because I prefer to use Google Maps and allows to use the other features like seeing your Spotify playlist.

35 mpg around the city, and 34 on the highway, !First tim I hear that!

2:28 With 3rd row seats vertical it looks more spacious than it really is.

I was hoping to trade in my Volt in 2022 for a full electric but the cost value by range still isn’t there although they’re marketing the heck out of them. Even Toyota’s new Bz4x will be near 40, 000 for a measly 200 miles of range or so and that’s just not practical. I’m gunning for the 2022 highlander hybrid and bide my time on the electric actually getting some real mileage at a decent price point.

Great video. My Limited trim test drive the cabin noise was loud. JBL not that great

[diegoamaya]

Man I would like to see the Highlander XSE

[Axtec]

I would fit comfortably in the third row seats. I’m the same height as you.

[gfinnstrom]

third seating is for the mother-in-law

[CaseyGpdx]

If they could make a sequoia or land cruiser with highlander tech that would be amazing

Thank you for the review!
Ben, how does a person know whether the car was remotely started successfully? For example, if the parking lot is full of cars, how would a person know? Is there a feedback sound to indicate that it was successfully started? Thank you, Ben!

What the towing capacity on the 2021 Toyota Hylander HYBRID AWD??? Is it 5000lbs? Or 3500lbs??? It better be the 5000lbs.

[garywood]

Maintenance cost over 10 years compared to V6 gasoline powered model?

[MohamedAli-eevs]

When will this car land for the Arabian gulf and Bahrain exactly? And how much will it cost?

[doogie]

I’m looking at this model and year or the 21 MDX for a second car. Anyone have enough experience in either to push me into one direction or the other?

[sidhuparammveer]

I was wondering that the interior of this car is slightly different from the other one I saw.It lacks a revolving round button having some feature related to mud -sand and rocks.Can u please explain Ben.
