Enjoyed your review. Unconsciously, people really, really want minivans. They just don't think they do due to image insecurities and vanity. You are right. The Grand Highlander is basically a minivan made to look like a SUV. That's why you can't buy one because the demand is through the roof. On the other hand, big SUVs are today's minivans so that's why the most insecure reject these too and now buy giant 4 WD pickups with tiny beds to commute to their office jobs.

Indeed. Such small details are hard to notice (feels a bit uncomfortable at test drive, but can't figure out why). I got rid of my Opel minivan mostly because of seats. Some "genius" at GM had an idea to put tiny seats in a big minivan. Caused massive butt and back pain after a while, eventually made it impossible to drive that car. Got Forester instead and now I again can drive for hours in comfort. It is a bit smaller, has less storage space, but it is so comfortable. Driving it on gravel roads too, which I used to avoid.

I’ve owned several iterations of both the Highlander and Sienna. The Sienna by far has superior room and better driving manners on highway where it spent most of its time. If you’ve got kids or dogs, the Sienna’s big sliding door is better for easy entry. Storage is better in Sienna too. Yes,it’s a minivan, but it’s better than a Highlander.

There is one thing that reviewers always get wrong, in my opinion. It's the constant complaining that SUVs need to have some sort of firm sports suspension for some reason. That might be cool when you have a press vehicle for a week, but then you own the car for years it gets really tiresome really fast. I own a CX9, and the one thing i hate about it is its stiff suspension, to the point where it will be a major point on consideration for my next vehicle to have something softer. I will sacrifice the 10% of the time i want a sporty feel for the 90% where i want a softer comfortable ride

It looks more like a really large RAV 4 than a Highlander, IMO. Interior is standard Toyota. Mostly good. I like the RAV 4 ride better than the Highlander because the Highlander is more floaty so this car would be more floaty than the Highlander. Still, the ride quality of Toyotas in terms of impact harshness is superb. Ride motions are more felt in the crossovers than the sedans. This vehicle likely to sell quite well for Toyota.

To be fair, it honestly looks more like a super-sized 2022 Toyota Avanza, an MPV/Minivan that is sold mainly in Asia. Try go look it up. It has a similar kind of front fascia, similar stance and overall side profile, same 7 seat configuration, pretty much the design is similar to the Grand Highlander but in smaller form.

You comment about just getting a minivan is spot on. Save money save tons of gas money. There is zero benefit to getting a large SUV to haul people that has a high entry cost and a higher fuel cost for the life of the vehicle. We are out of the minivan stage, but back in 2008 we thought about a Honda Pilot for our five member family, but once we saw the Honda Odyssey and how much better it was as a people hauler plus how much better mpg it got, it was a no brainer. Ironically, I still have that van and two of my kiddos are learning to drive on it.

As always, great video as pertaining to the breakdown of the actual car. I take one small exception with the cringey jokes about having a family and actually needing a car this size - I am THE GUY you guys were poking fun at. I have 5 kids, ages 15 to 23, so only a couple are still at home. But this would have been the exact car I would have wanted when we needed a vehicle big enough to haul everyone in comfort. We never made the jump to a full-size SUV because a minivan was 10x more practical and a mid-size SUV was too small, but we always knew we'd look cooler in a SUV and life would be infinitely more interesting with some light off-road capability. But having a family, next to marrying the right person (which I did) was the single best decision of my life. Nothing has made me happier. These days my wife is driving a 2020 F150 Platinum which she loves and is the perfect car for hauling her ski's and snowboards + a couple kids and friends up into the UT mountains without having to worry about getting stuck. I have a Tesla, '22 M3P. My youngest is currently learning to drive and she wants a car with a manual transmission (did I do something right?). My son did laps around SpeedVegas in a GT500 and a 911 GT3RS for a graduation trip and I watched with tears in my eyes as he passed a timid Huracan driver. See? It can actually be fun. My kids all love or at least appreciate cars (my oldest daughter bought her own '22 Elantra N 8DCT a little over a year ago, her twin recently went for a '24 Outback Touring, we're still working on her haha), and we have the best times getting together on the weekends for BBQ's, the dog park, skiing, hiking, camping, etc. When the kids were younger we took them to the drag races whenever we could until they closed them down several years ago, unfortunately, but those were some of the best times together and they still talk about how fun it was. I'm sure the joking is somewhat in jest but I wanted to chime in with my .02 anyway, because I seriously don't get all the negativity around marriage and family and wanted to give my perspective. We've invested a lot in our kids and it's been amazing. I regret nothing. Peace ✌

Personally, I like my 2023 Honda Odyssey Elite. It has a 'sporty' ride, is very maneuverable, gets an honest 28 mpg, has manual controls for HVAC, decent tunes, and supportive seats. In the minivan segment, most give you chair-like seating in the front two rows which is important for sitting on long hauls. Ingress/egress is great. I just turn my ass towards the seat, plop down, and swing my legs in. There's plenty of room for us. If I needs more space, I find a contractor with a pickup.

Solid product, just seems like it could be greatly improved by being a couple inches lower, and replacing the traditional rear doors with some kind of doors on perhaps a sliding mechanism for superior ingress/egress, especially when you have to buckle in kids in a tight parking lot stall. If someone were to make a vehicle like that, that perhaps got a 36/36/36 EPA mpg rating, I think tons of people would love it, as long as they didn't let some kind of moronic imagined social stigma stop them from choosing it.

As someone looking into 3 row SUV’s, I would love to see a comparison video of the pilot and grand highlander, with a sienna thrown in as a sort of baseline/outside comparison as well.

By chance, did you have any hesitations or surging driving this with 87? I have the regular highlander with the 2.4 turbo and it surges and bucks at medium load under 2200 rpm. The only solution now is to run 91+ and Toyota dealers and corporate refuses to admit there's a problem

@@web hasn't been a thing since DI came in. Atomizes fuel and has a cooling effect so you can run higher compression/temps on 87. Plenty of modern motors with high compression and or turbos can run 87 just fine. The t24 in this was taken from the nx which was tuned for 91. I don't think they did much outside patting it on the head and told it that it was a good boy, it can run 87 now.

So true about the Enclave interior. I sat in the latest generation a few years ago as it was styled nicely outside and I had carryover good feelings about Buicks from my past, albeit a very distant past. I couldn't wait to get out of it. How it might drive was irrelevant. If unspecial is a word, that interior was the definition of it.

This is such a dumb myth. Why would a smaller engine wear out faster? You realize how small commercial engines are relative to the weight they push around? If it is built correctly it will last just fine. Toyota has V6s more reliable than V8s of other manufacturers that prove engine size has nothing to do with reliability. Keep your oil changes and do the maintenance required and the engine will be fine.

​@@parkerdalo3248forget the size. There is a large layer of complexity added, along with dozens of parts when you add a turbo system to a motor (all of which can go wrong). Turbo motors by nature have higher pressures inside the motor, higher temps (which is why intercooler), etc. So yeah a smaller motor running boost will probably have a few more issues over the long run than some NA V6 (assuming they are both designed correctly). B58 is incredible but it probably won't last as long as E. G. a naturally aspirated 5L Lexus motor ie the million mile motor

Cross overs do better in crash tests for one and some have some attributes of a truck like 5k 6k pounds of towing without the need to have one. When you're spending 50k on a car you want to hit as many needs as possible, not hit 2 out of 10 and say "well at least people I will never meet think I'm cool"
