We just picked a Gray Mica SE this evening for the wife to replace a 09 Honda Pilot EXL....We were looking at getting the XLE, but the rims, blacked out grill, and added interior bits make it much nicer looking. We are now a all Toyota family. My ride a 17 Taco Cement Pro, and daughter a 13 Corolla S. Great review.....I watched it the other day to get more info on the trim levels which really helped us out with our decision.
+Matt Josefczyk Glad you found it helpful! Congrats on your new Highlander!
I'm six years late, But awesome video bro.
This was a terrific video my man! Great explanations, solid video and thorough walk-through. You missed NOTHING! About to buy a 2017 Limited Platinum and this video PERFECTLY informed my decision. THANK YOU!!!
Glad to help, Scott! We appreciate the kind comment 👍
Great video of the 2017 Toyota Highlander SE!!! Great job guys!!!
great video thank you !
Thank you for your very thorough review! Was deciding between a 2017 Highlander and a 2017 Pilot. This video convinced me to go with the Highlander. Also, thank you for explaining how to escape the prison in the rear! lol
Glad you enjoyed the video 😁
I just purchased a 2017 black se. its so sporty! its really nice. I traded my 2008 highlander in.
Shannon Bailey Can't go wrong with Toyota.

You're welcome! Glad you liked it!
The best highlander review, thx
+秋冬桑 Thanks! Glad you liked it!

+X-Herlo Her Congrats! The SE is my favorite version also
Rob Mottola $41,150
Most of 2014-up models review they lack the knowledge that when you sit in the 3rd row seats you don't pull the 2nd seat all the way to the back. That's why you don't get any leg room, you can control the 2nd row position by pushing it front and you will have very decent (not huge of course) space on the 3rd row.
I own 2014 XLE model with attitude black color and just LOVE IT, great car but I would recommend the cooled front seat (on Limited level) because the leather will be annoyingly warm on long drives.
This is a great video.
Thanks!
got one today
Hey guys! What do you think about the refreshed 2017 Toyota Highlander? Do you think the improvements they made are enough to keep sales strong for the next few years? Let us know in the comments below, and don't forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE!!
What an awkward parking
Haha yeah they boxed the car in so I just moved it into the grass
would have gotten one if it had a bit more trunk space. i went for a 2014 Honda Odyssey instead because of the large trunk space and comfortable 3rd row seating.
This was a really excellent review. Thanks so much for the detailed comparisons. One thing I was hoping for but didn't find is a demo of the means of folding the second row captains' seats compared to the 60/40 bench seat and what impact that has on the rear cargo space. Thanks for your good work.
Thanks Karen! We have an old Highlander LE review (2016) which shows the folding of the rear bench seating. I don't believe its changed since then, so you are welcome to check that out. We fold the seats at 20:27 (th-cam.com/video/i95vFzTxfok/w-d-xo.html)
Thank you.
I want to know when Highlander , Prado or Land Cruiser have HUD
Can I opt out the captain chair in the back? Because otherwise I lose 1 seat instead 7 seater I end up 6 seater which is not good to me at least.
Toyota does actually offer it as an no-cost option on XLE, Limited and Limited Platinum. I don't know about the SE (it's not listed as an option, but their Build & Price can be very finicky). Hope that helps!
You mean 8 seater becomes 7 seater with captains chairs.
👍
I think it's safe to say that the hybrib xle is the best model
*hybrid
How can the middle trim be the "best" model?
LIMITED PLATINUM
I don't like where the USB and cig plug is located at the bottom. Can't access it blindly while driving.
Don't plug things in while driving.
Still no led lighting?
+superwangwei3630 Strangely no. Have no idea why
yeah, I thought the Limited/Limited Platinum were going to have them
Does hybrid version made in Japan or USA ?
+Igor L Every Highlander configuration, including the Hybrid, is built in the U.S at the Princeton, Indiana assembly plant.
Toyota's VIN# begins w/ "1" USA & "J" for Japan.. for example all Infiniti VIN # begins w/ "J"
🎥 LET ME SEE WHICH HAS A CD PLAYER⁉️🙅🏽♀️🌟💃🏽
Nice car, but if they wanted to really compete with the Honda Pilot, maybe add LED's and a remote starter as standard, instead of charging 500 bucks for one.
And safety systems standard on Highlander are optional on Pilot. Compete? The Highlander easily outsells the Pilot for a reason. The Pilot needs to be more like Highlander to compete.
Toyota runs and last better than Honda...
All Plastic and metals want too much for it.
Not sure I like the new grill tbh. Hiding the exhaust is another thing I'm not happy with as a dual exhaust rear profile done properly is a major turn on for me. For my needs I like this vehicle overall in this class but I'm still looking. The hybrid engine thing is lost on me and I need to drive one and see if I like it. 8 speed tranny I like. Thx for the review.
+Vapor Zen You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
I'm deciding 2017 Highlander or Pilot...which one should I get?
Hi there! We can't really comment on that since we've never actually been in a Honda Pilot. Maybe some other viewers have a helpful opinion? If you do comment below.
I prefer the Pilot, it has a softer ride, and I like it's infotainment system. The Highlander is good too, But I noticed that the exhaust drones a little on the highway at around 55MPH. You can't go wrong with either one.
Highlander wins hands down on looks, driving dynamics and the overall upbeat interior. However Pilot is good if 3rd row leg room is the highest priority and if infotainment with Apple Car Play or Android Auto is a must. I went ahead with a 2017 XLE AWD because of the way Highlander looks and drives. Also because of Toyota's Safety System which works very well and is standard on all trim levels. Overall a great package that holds value up to 65% after 3 years. And not to mention Hybrid is a great vehicle that drives like a truck but gives instant feedback like a sedan. You can immediately feel the 306 BHP the moment you drive a Hybrid. Hybrid XLE is the best choice for a total package on Highlander that it is also reasonable to get one considering the pricing.
Agree, Pilot does have more leg room on 3rd row, however it looks like a MVP not a SUV, and you have to pay higher price to get the new 9 speed AT model. Now I am struggle for XLE AWD or Hybrid XLE:)
秋冬桑 Hybrid is the way to go for good gas mileage and if you like instant power on acceleration. Non hybrid (regular - gas) lags that power in the lower rpm. With about 2k less for non hybrid and non availability of hybrid, I chose a regular XLE.
Is there a reason that front grill is different color? If it was of same color, it should have been better looking.
The front grill is blacked out on SE trims. LE, LEPlus and XLE have silver front grille while Limited and higher is chrome.
Disagree. Love the black grill on SE models.
The Pilot is much better.
I have a friend who owns Honda Pilot ! @ 522 miles the transmission needed to be replaced. ya can't go wrong with Toyota !
Based on WHAT?! Not according to CR and a number of other reviewers. And I will take 29+ mpg in the HiHy over 21 in the Pilot. Per CR: average reliability in the Pilot...handling ungainly...infotainment system unintuitive...the 9-speed does not shift very smoothly...not exactly a joy to drive...safety system is OPTIONAL
*this video is sooo boring that I almost fell asleep*
Watching at x2 is recommended
