I got this car in November, first car, have never road-tripped alone before, but drove 11 hours without needing to even sleep because of good timing but ALSO because the car is SOOO comfortable to drive. I also had to drive in the snow in the mountains at night after getting to my destination… and wow. Scary but felt super safe the whole time as I could tell the car was taking care of me as a new driver. The adaptive cruise control is AMAZING and makes long trips nice. I’ll never get a speeding ticket lol. The audio system is so nice and the noise canceling/reducing window design REALLY makes a difference… it even makes inside of the car quieter. If you have a loud family i’m sure you could turn the music up a bit and find some peace. The camera system is also greatttt and has made learning to use my mirrors easier. Honestly it’s just an easy car to drive. The safety features make it damn near impossible for you to cause an accident because even if the back corner of your car might touch something there are 360 cameras that show at the same time as the rear camera. Anyways I know people have qualms about the car but it’s sooooo nice to me and even the exterior looks classier

[@jeffedmundson3934]

I drove for 12 hrs straight with minimal breaks. Highlanders a re very comfortable and I never feel worn out even after long drives. This is amazing as I am 6'-2" tall and 260 lbs!

[@jpthsd]

can you explain "the noise canceling/reducing window design REALLY makes a difference" ?

[@olusegunadesina5162]

I just got mine. 2023 Platinum! Very very awesome ride all round. Engine torque in eco mode isn't the greatest but that's what you sacrifice when u use much lower gas in the hybrid. The vehicle is great.

[@jkra107]

Can you expand on the use of the 120V outlets. I believe they can easily be used tom power things in your home, such as a sump pump, in the event of a power failure, for example. Also, is there a light in the glove box and or front console?

[@emitissimo7618]

That outlet that he showed near the back said '1500 watt". That one looks like it could be used for stuff like your sump pump or a miter saw. I just googled it on my phone and it starts at $47,000 and you have to wait 2 years to get one after you order it.

I try to keep opinions out of my videos and they're more focused on showcasing the car in question which is why i title them as overviews instead of reviews. Although I've considered doing driving in the videos, I'm not sure how I can keep opinion out of that portion while still saying something. Any thoughts or input would be appreciated as I'd like to make my future videos even better.

as of the 2023 model they're only selling them as 4 cylinder now. You can get a used 2022 V6 if you prefer those but you went get some of the new features for the 2023 model year like the wireless carplay and wireless android auto

[@CoryBurke]

Great overview video! I love the Toyota Hybrid system (I have a Rav4 Hybrid Limited) and had heard that the new '23 Highlanders were finally getting an upgraded interior so I figured I'd take a peek... I am here to say that I am DISAPPOINTED by this effort from Toyota. Yeesh... The huge borders on the infotainment screen, the very strange placement of the volume knob, and the hideous plain looking toggles for the drive modes.... It really does make you wonder why Toyota stayed asleep on this one? I love how this car looks on the exterior - its not overly flashy and looks clean and yet still has some aggressiveness. The interior just looks like something from 2016 with an added digital gauge cluster and a slightly larger than back then infotainment screen. Have the Toyota Interior Design Engineers not seen what the latest Hyundai Pallisade interior driver and passenger dashboard looks like? Get on it folks!

[@UnseenSpirit]

Toyota rarely is exciting. They do things well which is OK, but I've not been like wow for most of their cars. Maybe the Rav4 is such a big seller works wide that they are thinking of their cash cows.

Poor placement of the volume knob. You have to reach farther for the volume knob than the passenger has to reach for their temperature setting. Makes zero sense.

[@peteg719]

At least there are steering wheel controls.

[@zenon3021]

steering wheel has volume buttons (bottom left side). You don't have to reach at all...

[@MattCC16Gaming]

You have steering wheel controls. Passengers has knob closer to them. I don’t see too much of an issue.

[@UnseenSpirit]

I get what you mean but I don't use the volume knob in my car because I press the steering wheel buttons for the volume. It's done on purpose.

[@mike6340]

To be fair, I bet the thinking was that a driver would use the steering wheel controls and the knob would be for the benefit of the passenger.
