Since it's North American introduction in 2001, the Highlander has been a major hit for Toyota's SUV lineup. With an excellent combination of ride & handling, style and comfort it's easy to see why this midsize crossover won over the hearts of so many. But how about now, some 16 years later? In a sea of available crossovers can the Highlander still win over the hearts of shoppers?
Introduced in 2014 completely redesigned, Toyota saw it fit to give the Highlander some new duds just three years later. More than just appearances were changed however. Under the hood is a new V6 engine mated to a new 8-speed automatic transmission - what a refresh!
The two combine to make for one zippy people hauler. Boasting 295hp & 263 lb.-ft. of torque never will you need to worry about hill climbing power or passing on a twisty two lane. Need to hitch up the camper or tow the boat? The highlander has your back with its ability to pull 5,000lbs. when properly equipped.
So the outside is handsome as ever, the muscle robust and fuel economy top notch. How does the interior stack up? in a word; well. With available aids such as Driver Easy Speak to help reduce the excuses of your kids not hearing you say "Stop that!", Navigation to get you where you need and Siri Eyes Free to keep your hands on the wheel nothing can stop you know. Need to pick up the neighbors kids on the way to soccer practice? No sweat with room for up to 8 passengers.
Safety is of top priority at Toyota and they don't disappoint with the Highlander. Included now on every 2017 is TSS-P including but not limited to Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Auto High Beams, Lane Departure Assist, Radar Cruise Control and more. A backup camera is standard too.
With six gas trim levels and four Hybrid trim levels, it's not hard to see that once again the Toyota Highlander will continue to win over the hearts of shoppers for years to come.
Grappone Toyota is located in Bow, NH just south of Concord and only 20 minutes from Manchester. Conveniently located at the intersection of I89/I93 - come see why we are Driven to Amaze!

After searching for a few weeks, I finally found this review. I wanted to see the depth and how spacious the 3rd row seats are and finally am able to see it, thanks to you. Thank you so much!
Very welcome - that this was helpful to you!
I watched this video and the Honda Pilot one several times before finally purchasing a 2017 Highlander SE. Thank you. Very well done!
I'm really glad they were so helpful - enjoy your new Highlander!
A family member had an original 2001 Highlander Limited that gave out at 375k miles in 2015. They purchased a new one at the end of 2015 and love it. I like that the Toyota Safety Sense is now standard equipment for 2017. Thanks for the great review!
Excellent usage of the word "Commodious". Very impressed.
Consistently great videos from Grappone. Thank you for the commentary and the thoughtful review of the vehicles. Too many car reviews on you tube take too long going over useless tidbits of information. This guy consistently does great reviews, much appreciated.
Awesome to hear - thanks for your support!
Dude you know your cars this was a thorough and impressive analysis of the highlander. Really appreciate it
Very well put together, straightforward and informative video on a great car.
Thanks
Great review. Learned a lot the differences between XLE and SE. Nice job. Already had a 2017 Prius 3 Touring, love the hybrid system, still looking forward to driving a SE Hybrid.
You said Prius Touring. Hahahhahahah
great review once again, this highlander looks pretty nice! huge too.
Thanks guys!!
good job！ I see a lot auto reviews and I think this is one of the best!
Thanks Jobssss!
Man...if they only made this SE with a bench sit on the 2nd row as an option, I'd be sold... plz toyota offer it for the 2018 model.... Great Review btw!👍🏽
Cx F there is a bench seat for the second row & third row. I have it in my 2017 model. I didn't want the bucket seats in the second row either.
@@BS-2 you can have the dealer install it
I ended up placing an order on the 17 4Runner ltd that is coming from Japan.
Good job dude! Fantastic review. Thanks.
Great Vid! Please do a snowy road test for the new Mazda CX-9 too.
going places Kid :)
Going to get a 2018 Highlander limited in the spring, I enjoyed your informative review, sure looks cold in all that snow.
Thanks, and congrats - the Highlander is a very nice choice. And yes, it was very cold this day.
“Kids size......or my size...😔”. Lmao i feel you bro 😂😂😭
as much as I hate Toyota, this is nice SUV and I would consider buying this SUV if I was looking at a new vehicle
I'm not a huge Toyota fan to be bluntly honest, but I absolutely love this generation of Highlander.
love the snow
Excellent review! Thanks!!
Great video, my next car!
Nice review
At 9:03 it looks like giant fireball is heading towards you 😳
New England snow plows, I mean, they're basically the same thing haha.
The snow is a major distraction
See and love, satisfied, beautiful and not 2017
I had a 2014 great Engine but lots of problems, suspension, ac , windows, seats etcs
I have narrowed it down to 2017 CR-V vs 2017 Highlander for my next purchase. The 2 most important things for me are ride(how good it soaks up bumps) and interior noise level. I was bit disappointed when I test drove the new CR-V in those aspects(may be it was my perception and expectations)
Is highlander quieter and ride better than CR-V given the added weight and size?I was thinking it may also give that "solid sturdy feel" on highway cruising compared to CR-V. Your opinion as you have done reviews on both?
Thank again!
drabhi07 try murano
drabhi07 I haven't driven a CR-V yet, but I do own the 17' highlander Se. I took it on a road trip from Texas to New Jersey & New York, in snowy weather. Let me tell you, it's wonderful. Very quiet and smooth. It's a well built SUV.
drabhi07 that is a tough one as I really like both of these SUVs. That being said the Highlander is a level above the CR-V in terms of size & class and as such does have a more compliant ride. Toyota makes sure the interior noise level is kept lower than say, a RAV4 (same class as CR-V) as well. Since you've driven the CR-V and weren't impressed I would recommend taking a test in the Highlander to see how that feels to you. Don't forget to let the community here know your thoughts too!
Thanks everyone for your input. I think I will go with CRV as I don't think its worth 10-12K extra just for the compliant ride especially if we don't need all that extra space.
Which one would you choose The 2017 Pilot EXL-RES or this SE?
Also really good review!
Goldbugg 657 I'm on the same boat. If I'm going with the Pilot I'd wait for memorial for $$$ savings. IDK about toyota, I heard they're hard to negotiate.
Jason a I got the pilot and they gave me a whopping deal of 28000 with a trade in of a 2015 outlander. I just hope it's reliable.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy your new Pilot, they are very nice SUV's!
Goldbugg 657 bad choice if you got the nine speed...
Dealzguy didn't already know those aren't reliable.
Can I have a review on its backup camera?
Which is better Acura MDX 2018 or highlander SE 2018? Please let me know! I am between these two, Idk which one to get.
Does it have heated steering wheel? How about low tire pressure?
Great review! Thanks
Can you comment on AWD performance on snowy/Icy roads? Did you feel confident driving at those speeds on highway(snow)? How do they compare to Honda AWD?
You're welcome drabhi07, glad you liked it. The AWD did an excellent job during my drive. Like I mentioned in the video, these roads were SLICK. I simply pressed the "Snow" button and used caution when I drove. I had no issues. I haven't had a Honda Pilot out in the snow so I don't want to give an opinion that would be unfairly biased.
Thanks for your reply
Great review! Do you know the distance between the back of drivers seat and inside of the tailgate with the 2nd and 3rd rows folded down? I'm really interested in the XLE model.
Darren Calver I can't say that I have gone out with a tape measure to check this... however if I am able to I will report back to you my findings!
This is not a snowy road test. It is a sale pitch on a snowy day.
Highlander or Pilot?? I'm torn.
That's a tough one!!
pilot, i think it has a better awd system
Marilyn Barker - Definitely Highlander for me. I'm going back after having owned a 2003 (well, a work car) & 2011 Pilot, and a 2004 Highlander.
We've owned 2 Hondas & 2 Acuras which we've loved, but the CVT longevity concerns me. Since the Highlander has 6/8 speed auto transmission, I'm going to have to say goodbye to Honda for now.
If you want a roomy car get the pilot. but if you want a good looking car get the highlander (although in my opinion both cars look nice). in terms of reliability they are both very reliable cars and they both come from very trustworthy brands.. I think it all comes down to personal preference in my opinion..
Yes, I saw a Highlander 2017, beautiful and very cute, I really want to ride, I want to know, but because I am in Cambodia, working as a teacher in Cambodia, as you know, the salary is not enough, but
can you guys do a comparison with the sequoia and highlander i would like to see the difference between them i noticed you guys do not have review on the sequoia
Erica A I do have the Sequoia on my list to film, make sure you're subscribed so you get notified when it comes out!
Grappone Automotive Group thanks and i am!
Can you test drive in a puddle of water to see if water can splash on to winshield and be blinded for a couple of sec. ,that is very danderous... thanx
Why was he at an Elementary school?
does the XLE come with the V6??
The XLE does come with the V6. You can also get the XLE as a Hybrid variant for 2017. Only the entry level LE trim comes with the 4cyl.
굿
YOU DONT BUY SUV FOR ADULT ON THE BACK ESPECIALLY IN THE THIRD ROW. ITS FOR KIDS, FOR FAMILY
how tall are you?
5"6"
278* Hp, not 295.
295hp & 263lb.-ft. of torque is correct. 2017 is the first year of a new Atkinson Cycle 3.5L V6 in the Highlander which produces more horsepower and torque than the pre-refresh 2016 Highlander which also had a 3.5L V6. The V6 in 2014-2016 generated 270hp with 248lb.-ft. of torque mated to a 6-speed automatic.Thanks for watching!
You're correct. Wow, I figured they'd be the same as the 3rd Gen Tacoma's since they have the same engines. They must be tuned differently, because my '17 TRD Off Road only makes 278hp :(. I stand corrected, good sir!
I don't think 4 cylinders are adequate for its size, a few years back toyota came out with some 4 runners with 4 cylinder, a complete failure,
I drove a SE yesterday. About 20 miles. Couldn't tell much difference over my 2016 XLE. Interesting you mentioned you could. What did I miss?
what's the height of this reviewer
I am 5'7"
Should be plenty of room for my family. I'm only 5'9, 😀
