The 2020 Toyota Highlander Is All-New (And The Hybrid Gets 36 MPG)

[@L0LrevneD]

What I like about Tom is that he speaks straight facts when it comes to car shopping. “Buy the car that speaks to you”; and especially, “minivans are much better for family duty”. I admire that. Keep it up Tom!

[@ELMS]

Tom, I just wanted to say that you’re absolutely right about the minivan thing. I had a SUV for myself. But as the number of grandchildren increased...and increased...we traded it for a nice Kia Sedona. And it’s a million times easier to buckle them in, etc. 👍

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Vans are really noticeably easier to live with. Even my wife agrees with that.

[@rmwarriors16]

I have the Kia Sedona too. The sliding doors, rears seats and rear cargo room is way superior to almost suv. I also saw some where (can’t remember exactly which article) the Kia Sedona is the 9th most reliable vehicle 😊among all cars/suv/ etc in 2018.

[@user-tb7rn1il3q]

Minivans are useless since most are front drive only. Have fun driving in the winter or pulling a boat up a slippery ramp or need to accelerate quickly on a wet surface. That being said everyone should get an all wheel drive Highlander even if you live in Florida.

[@rmwarriors16]

Brian The Toyota Sienna has AWD as an option. Tires makes the biggest difference when it comes to road performance on snow, rain etc. I believe as long as your not flooring it like a drag race then grip in rain is not going to be a big problem for the most part. For towing I cannot say what a persons needs in terms of towing capability since I don’t do any towing.

[@user-tb7rn1il3q]

rmwarriors16 True, but the Highlander has more clearance, more towing ability, drives better, and a better all wheel drive system. The Highlander is the largest vehicle that is parkable and garageable.

[@stevenplutes]

The hybrid getting 35+ MPG is something I am very interested in, considering I have a family of six to haul around all the time. The gas savings would be amazing compared to my current 19-MPG 2010 Honda Pilot.

Currently a mini-van owner and have had it for 13 years. While I agree they are the best tool for the job, once your kids are older (mine are teens) it's not as much of a requirement. Next vehicle will be a 3 row as there is more to choose from, AWD is always offered and there is more clearance for snow.

[@davids1816]

@@alexmobil7463 Toyota consistently builds the least interesting, least dynamic cars in every segment. They have at least made an effort with the latest Camry. It's a bit overwrought but drives well for a FWD car. Even the RAV at least looks the part as it buzzes along, eventually catching up with slow-moving traffic. There is no need for a crossover to drive like crap. The CX9 is very smooth but a bit slow. The Sorento handles well, though lacks torque. The Pilot would be great if it weren't so under-damped. All are better to drive than a Highlander.

Nice video Tom! I'm not a fan of how expensive family vehicles are these days. A family buying one of these rigs is sure to stay on the debt treadmill for many years to come. Personally I would (and did!) get a slightly used minivan. More practical, less depreciation, lower insurance cost, and good reliability (note I did not say great). I don't see the appeal of these new expensive cars.

This seems like a decent improvement, though the tiny third row is still a disappointment. This in no way comes close the Telluride or Palisade in desirability, but seems better than any other entries in the segment. Buying this will still get you Toyota's legendary reliability and resale value, which probably won't be true of the Korean twins, especially regarding the resale. The Koreans are getting pretty reliable though and have a far better warranty than Toyota.

[@stephenhendricks103]

Resale value is frequently misunderstood. Last year I traded a KIA Sorento for a 2018 model. The dealer gave me a trade-in value within $800 of the blue book estimate of the value of a comparable 2012 Highlander with similar trim, mileage, and condition. Considering that I had saved over $6000 in the initial purchase price of the Sorento compared to the best deal I was offered for a 2012 Highlander, my net savings amounted to about $5400.

The amount of car you could get for simply the base price of this new Highlander, or the money you'd save your family by being more realistic on what you actually need?

How much headroom is lost in the second row with a standard moonroof. I’m comparing Hybrid LE to XLE. This will be a traveling and camping car. Also you didn’t mention that the hybrid limited has a 110 volt 1500 watt inverter in the back. Small microwave and fridge in the back? Regarding minivan comments, I would prefer a 2021 Sienna hybrid, however second row seats are not removable.

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Here are the headroom specs for the mid row- 39.4 in. (w/o moonroof) 39.4 in. (w/ moonroof) 37.1 in. (w/panoramic) I've not used a microwave on an inverter like that. Even though it's rated at 1,500 watts, I'm not sure that's continuous load for extended periods of time. I'd be careful.

I've found the lane tracing to be mediocre both because it cannot identify the lanes much of the time, and because it pulled to the right frequently. Adaptive cruise control was nice though.

This is I'm sure, a wonderful car for people who have absolutely no passion for driving - but the exterior is a lot less attractive than the current model.

Personally, I like the outside but I couldn't drive something that looks that bloated as my own car. Kia, Hyundai, and Honda are all much much better looking. The interior is nice though, except for what looks like an infotainment ladle on the dash. I'd buy a Sorento and save 10k though.
