I've just test driven the 2021 gas version and it stll accelerates well (I have a 2014 Toyota Highlander V6) but it also still has a lot of torque steer. Tires have become narrower (235mm wide) compared to my 2014 Toyota Highlander (245mm wide)

Have an 18 Highlander for the wife. When I do drive it, it is such a relaxing experience. I'll drive 300 miles and feel like I only drove 75 miles. It's so quiet, smooth and reliable. Got 0.9 financing for five years. Upgrading the radio on mine and running that thing into the ground.

Taking care of the the flaws of DI and CVT in the Subaru Ascent, The shitty MPG of the Atlas (despite it's great looks IMO), small size of the CX-9 (despite good driving dynamics and power train) I used to be a cool guy with a Raptor and Power Wagon, but if this is going to be what 'responsible' looks like, I can think of worse things to die in.

​@@ZZZRaven65 "Grammar much?" Very much! "That "sentence" doesn't even make sense." Then it must be the grammar, after all you are the brightest of them of all as it seems. "My comment was relevant to the VIDEO..." BUT IRRELEVANT TO THE PRODUCT IN THE VIDEO. I hope you will see this time. "in that it was interesting and informative, regardless of the product." Without the product, you can't conclude this. Besides, they usually lift the product and make comments while checking the under carriage. Those who are familiar with this channel are familiar with the informative, we don't need you or half ass fake admiration notes to appreciat5e this channel. "I have nothing to gain by "brown nosing" Mark" Yes, you are. You are of those who would start disagreeing him when the product such as this one is a superior product and over European and Kourean products. And will give a false image of Mark, as if he has changed and lost his touch with reality and he can;t see the light anymore by not appreciating a crappy European product. This is a typical marketing strategy. Everyone knows that Japanese brands are superior in quality to others, especially European out of factory junk brands. If you can't make your product better then you can bad mouth the competition, either by lying about the product or lying about the promoter of the product. You are now at the stage to gain trust of Mark by buttering him so that when you lie about a TOYOTA - It is product for you, you want to be trusted for your lie to be accepted. "... just wanted to give him some positive feedback on the hard work he puts into these videos -" People who do that usually do this by mentioning the product as well. You have an ulterior motive. "that we get to watch for FREE." It is not him providing this video for free. It is KZbin. If you are not aware actually his presentation was cut off with a few commercials. For me it is acceptable for this was a good review of a god product. "If you don't like it, feel free to not watch and move on." LOL! I don;t have nay problem with his videos LOL! My problem with idiots who does not appreciate a good product such as the one that is reviewed int his video. "No need to be a DICK." Nope! You are the DICK , not me. I simply stat the fact that your appreciation is a fake because you wouldn't put such appreciation remark under a video that was about a European car or a Kourean car, with complete disregard of the Product and focus on the reviewer and how admirable he is. Not everyone is willing to give in your (pl) marketing tactics. Get over it DICK!!!!

I bought a Highlander in 2002 and drove it for 225k miles before it started having repair probs that I felt exceeded its value. I wish I’d kept it and repaired it. I feel like the Highlander is the sweet spot on size for usefulness and safety while was still reasonably fun in the twisties for a small suv. Comfort was great. If I had the funds, this 2020 seems like a great choice still. Agreed on the flat screen nonsense. This stuff won’t age well and the lack of ability for ease of aftermarket for head units is a turn off for me.

I have a 2015 Camry. People hate the Entune infotainment system, but it just works. It understands voice commands consistently and I still use the navigation over Google Maps (it has live traffic). It's ugly and clunky by current standards, but I've rented many new cars with absolutely beautiful and highly responsive systems that are utterly infuriating to use (esp with voice commands), crash frequently, and will outright refuse to route to some addresses.

I own an SUV for winter and bad weather driving and a fancy car for summer fun. I currently have a 2014 Highlander XLE which I bought new. It's the most dependable vehicle I have ever owned. This week I ordered a 2020 Highlander Platinum. I went with the Platinum because the 2020 XLE doesn't come with as much tech included as the 2014 did. I did opt for the glazed caramel interior because it's beautiful and reminds me of a Maserati Ghibli I used to have. Sure, the Hyundai Palisade or Kia Telluride do look great but, with my family having owned both of these brands in the past, I simply have little confidence in the workmanship or reliability of Hyundai or Kia lasting much beyond a year or two.

The removal of the physical shifter, with detents, is one of the biggest pet peeves that I have with modern vehicles. Manufacturers like to say that buttons and rotary dials save space, but it's about saving the cost of the shifter assembly, the leather shift boot, leather on the knob etc.

GEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSEEEEE!!! You've gone a bit soft but I get it. Need to review the boats that people are buying, that's where the reviews are and that's where the money is. But I love the fact that I can still tell you're pissed off to no end that these vehicles exist and you have to review them. I was a bit shocked at your perceived "enjoyment" of this vehicle but you're starting to sympathize with families that buy these vehicles rather than appear unrelatable to them. All that's to say great review, loved the MM cameo and humor. I wish you'd do a proper review of the CX-9 signature though since you're speculating on all these SUVs now. That's the one I feel from your style/preference you'd actually like because it's more of a driver's machine than the others. Maybe one day.

Very through and informative review. Question for you and others is WHY is it that Toyota STILL makes you go all the way up to the Premium Line to get the parking sensors (park assist audible alarms that go off when getting close to objects)? Seriously- this is an important feature that once you have, you can never go back and a camera will only let you see what you'e about to hit vs warn you to stop or slow up. I've heard that it can be added on for like 500$ but not sure as this is so new.

Its a cost thing. Changes to bumper designs and all the associated wiring etc. Also as great as they are add a ton of cost to repair jobs if you get nailed and also have more calibration to deal with. Im sure it will be on everything Toyota makes in 5 years.
