I agree vehicles have gotten so expensive. I bought a new Highlander Limited in 2012 for $42,000. Now it’s over $51,000. $48,000 for and XLE with pleather seats and no JBL speakers and subwoofer is outrageous. But you’re paying for Toyota reliability now. It used to be free in the past. However, just having a “T” on the grill gives them the “right” to charge what they want. If I buy this SUV I’m keeping it till the wheels fall off.
I’m with you on not feeling like it’s worth what Toyota is asking, but what’s the alternative? There isn’t one, and anything else close is a similar price, and isn’t hybrid. Personally I’d like to see this in the high 30s low 40s. Unfortunately that’s just not the world we live in right now.
How close does the SofTex come to feeling like leather? I owned a 2015 Lexus RX and swore I had leather. But I later realized they weren’t real leather.

Excellent review. I appreciate all of the detail and nuances you describe, such as the light steering demonstration.
It’s my dream to have this car

That’s a valid point!

It’s pretty close!

@@joswood6123 Ok Thank you
This car costs less than RAV4 (highest trim) in Europe (about 50$k).
