2022 Toyota Highlander // Is this 2022 Good Enough to Stay #1??

Really? i have the 2017 highlander le plus and i feel like the suspension gets upset over very broken pavement, i then test drove a 2022 highlander xle and felt like i was driving the same 2017 vehicle... even the suspension wasn't as smooth as i was expecting

Reviewers are raving about the Kia Telluride but the Highlander has a proven track record regarding reliability while the Telluride is new and no track record.The Highlander may not have the space the Telluride has in the back but it has a reputation of lasting almost forever.

Thank you for reviewing the most popular version of Highlander. Many reviewers jump into the top versions which makes their videos look like advertisements, not to mention that they spend a lot of the time talking about features not available on anything but the top version. This was very no-nonsense informative and well put together.

@@CarConfections I just bought a 2022 Toyota Highlander XLE 2 weeks ago and it's fantastic I love it. It's the first Toyota I've had since I turned 17 and purchased a 1979 Toyota Celica. That thing was a tank. I loved driving it. I was wondering about the Toyota Highlander XLE if it had a power cord outlet in the rear of the car. Do you possibly have an answer on that for me??. I was looking for them for a while but I came up empty. Is there one back there. Great video on the explanation of the vehicle I appreciated it. Thank You!!!

[@michaelmendez5860]

As someone who just took one of these on a 13 hour drive through snow, rain, dirt and gravel roads, here's my input on some negatives: The seats are pretty uncomfortable after a few hours. I has to keep adjusting and pulling over since it was killing my back. The button layout on the steering wheel is actually dangerous. There are so many buttons on each side and there's no difference in texture to help you differentiate between them so you have to keep taking your eyes off the road to see what you are hitting. Although the bright lights are great in perfect weather, through a snow storm they were TERRIBLE as they made it almost impossible to see the road since they reflected off the snow like crazy and I ended up turning off all the lights except the fog lights to be able to see. Also note that you will be getting flashed with high beams about every 4th car since they think you will have your brights on since the regular lights are so bright which is good for the driver to see but VERY annoying on a long trip that every 30 seconds someone is flashing their high beams at you. Another thing is the seatbelt unbuckled sound. It also goes off for people in the back seat so if someone is trying to take a nap on a long trip and lay down, good luck as the beeping noise will keep that from happening. Seems like its a great short distance vehicle but was one of the worst I've driven for a long trip and I've driven plenty.

[@lawrencepregler1327]

Agree. Additionally, the 12.3 display is too dim and reflectiveness a problem under most conditions

[@stephenfiore9960]

Great points

[@103eaglecrest]

You said the seats are uncomfortable. What model do you have? Does it have lumbar? How tall are you? Are the seats to short and therefore don't offer leg/hamstring support? Thinking about buying one, except I'm over 6'4". Thanks

[@michaelmendez5860]

@@103eaglecrest I drove the 2022. Not sure what trim it was but it did have leather seats that were pretty hard so were really uncomfortable after a few hours of driving and had to keep shifting myself around to try to get comfortable. I’m 6’2” so hopefully close enough to your height to be relatable. I’ve driven plenty of Toyotas on long trips but this for long trips was enjoyable. It’s has a lot of adjustments available but it was how hard the seats were overall. Hope this helps!

[@lorriheffner2747]

This thing is huge. Barely fits through the Beltway tollbooth. I like the soft touch of the steering wheel. And the fact it has the compass built right into the display… had no negotiating room due to chip shortage, except for my trade in value was solid. Got the AWD Limited trim (the (1) one that was on the lot available) With all these crazy weather storms…. What’s missing is seeing someone really off road in this thing on a commercial.. it’s like driving a bus. That would be some comedy.. it is big and bulky. But I believe the sos button is somewhat handy and the remote start. Heated window wiper blades. Plus it has locate My vehicle in the toyota app thing so LoJack isn’t needed… I mean I am no mechanic but.. and only time will tell if I made a good purchase. Extended warranty and can move on now to more imp things. Anything.

This was my first choice to get my 1st 3rd row SUV with quality and reliability since i was a fan of toyota since 2004 (owner of celica gts 2004 and rav4 2012 Le).i already got quoted for highlander XSE 2021 for $43k after i test drove it,but i told the dealer that i'll be back for it tomorrow.but within the same day,i went straight to hyundai dealership since palisade was really getting my attention since the first released and seeing it on the road eith their unique DRL.i test drove it and see all the difference compare to this highlander XSE im almost getting,then upon my surprise,interior is bigger on palisade and even quality (SEL trim only) and saw the calligraphy is already like a premium.exterior shape is the palisade also wider and look muscular front+side+rear.tech of highlander seems outdated compare to palisade.so i end up getting the palisade with 10yr warranty that toyota only gives 5yr.yes you toyota fan will still say reliability on hyundai might be wack compare to #1 toyota,well as i said im also a diehard fan of toyota and i dont think hyundai has a bad reliability to begin with,they are better reliability compare to those premium Mercedesbenz and bmw and all american brand cars.also they wont give 10yr warranty if their stuffs are easily to be break (not unless uf you are a person who breaks stuffs often/irresponsible on things you own). Well ill be waiting to new facelift of palisade next year (2023 release) to trade mine on for the top trim this time (calligraphy).go check it out and test drive it first before you judge hyundai even kia,especially the premium genesis.

The lower trims do also get the bonus of the 8 way power passenger seat which is good but our trims already had that.

They are both 2.4 amp, but with USB type c I would need specific cords if someone wants to charge their iPhone on a trip, and a different cord for my android, and a different cord for android auto /apple carplay. Where with the type a, I can just tell whomever to bring their charging cord and we are golden!
