2019... looks much better and the back glass opens! bench 2nd row! bigger gas tank, more range!
From Morehead, KY I like the front grille of the 2019. It is more appealing than the one on the 2020.
2019 for me!
From Chicago, IL I like the 2019 design, but the interior of the 2020 model is more appealing.
NJ like physical style of 2019 but tech of 2020.
2019 model is much better sporty stylish compared to 2020 model.watching from CA....
Valdosta Ga., love how you take time to do your videos with the necessary details😊
Hi Iris! It is a lot of research and time getting things right. Sooooo much to remember and get right!! But it's worth it if I can help people :) Jeff
2019 much better front end
Awesome video! Like that new one! I'm watching from Shelton, CT.
TBH 2019 front grill better, Lexus alike
2019 SE for me. Melbourne, FL
i have one is awesome.
Birmingham, AL.. I’ve waited a long time for this video.
Hi Jeff, I am from Cambodia. I have 2016 Highlander Hybrid Limited Platinum. It's very comfortable. Front end of the 2019 is more beautiful, I think.
Hi Jeff. Los Angeles, CA. Only you make great comparison video.
Thanks I really appreciate that!!
Albany, Oregon here. I own the 2019 and prefer the looks over the 2020. However, I like some of the newer tech on the 2020
You have the better version.
From Michigan but living in Vietnam the last 10 years. We're repatriating back this summer and will pick up a Highlander.
Don't feel any need for spending extra $4K for 20 models. I decided to go with 19 last week once I test drove both.
They should drive the same...
I'm getting the 19 as well this week.
I got the 19 a month ago too. 👍
I live near Sacramento, CA and have been looking forward to this video.
Excellent review... looking forward to get the 2020 XLE.. wish this vehicle be available in the dealership soon.. from Los Angeles, CA.
Side by side I think the older model has a better profile. Looks more like an SUV whereas the newer model looks like it's trying too much with the rising beltline (which means less rear visibility for rear )
From Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦. Keep on keeping on brother!
Thanks for the video!
From South Texas!
Watching from Connecticut, born in Suriname, lived in Guyana. Came to America, NY. I have a White 2018 Highlander xle.
Hey Jeff! Great video! I'm in North Carolina too! I'm in Brevard, which is near Asheville. My family currently owns a 2015 Highlander and we love it! We are currently looking to buy a new Highlander and I think we're going to go with a 2019. I like the updates to the 2020, but there's not really any updates that make the 2020 that much more attractive for us. And I like the appearance of the 2019 a lot better. It looks similar to the 2015 we have now, which we have absolutely loved.
Good for you. Wise decision.
I love 2019 because 2020 can’t open back windows
Watching from Ontario, Canada!!
I love the rims on the 2019 over the 2020.
Both are nice!! Only thing I really want on the 2020+ is the rear hatch window can open like the 2019 model.
I recently ordered a 2021 Highlander Platinum trim level.
Queens, NY. Love your vids! 👍🏼
Wish the 2020 still had the opening rear window
From Destin, FL. I like the looks and features of 2019 vs 2020.
I am from nj and I like your video, keep up the good work
Thanks for the good info! We are looking at buying a used Highlander and appreciate the good info. We are in Chicagoland area. Really thinking of picking up a Toyota from you.
Hallo Jeff,
2019 looks better all around when it comes to the body, but the technology is way better in the 2020 I mean come on no apple car play on the 2019 model. Thank you for this informative video. Watching all the way from Deutschland. Shön tag
Great coverage
Well we picked up our new 2019 last night and we are very happy, nice open cockpit, not crowded like the 2020 with those tablet type screens, already used the rear window to put some bags in the back! Overall good price great financing deal!
Good for you. You made the right decision
Alexandria, MN. Love your reviews!
From yemen.... rav4 and santa fe is most popular mid rang suv in my country.
In 2020 toyota start selling highlander in middle east which prado is one of the most popular toyota suv ever
خالد وليد
Hey home boy I am originally from Yemen 🇾🇪 living in U.S.
Thank god we didn’t wait for the redesign and got the 18’ model.
Montreal Quebec 🇨🇦. Love the details in your videos, your enthusiasm and humour. Love the 2019 front grill but upgrade tech 2020 and extra 2.5" length. Sad 2019 has not AppleCarPlay & AndroidAuto.
Sorry my friend but your audio is pretty awful cause no wind screen on mic and to far. Need to get up into that mic.
Get the Rode Wireless Go with wind screen!! Last constructive advice record on a cloudy ⛅️ day to give your camera a chance with lighting!
Thanks
Watching from New York thanks for the information
Jeff, Did I miss the part where you mentioned 35-36 mpg for the 2020 Hybrid? CANADA
Chapel Hill NC, right down the road. The 2020 highlander is a great update for sure!
Thanks Jeff (aka Toyota Fanboy). Looks are a subjective, but if you look under the surface, the 2020 has made some good improvements and the new platform makes for a better ride and safer vehicle - LED lights are a big deal, just one of the pluses on the 2020. The 2020 looks more refined (Lexus like). I test drove the 2020 XLE - smooth, nice tech and was very comfortable. Love the "blueprint color" - wish they would have added power folding mirrors on the higher trim. I'm waiting for the hybrid model which I will consider purchasing in the fall. Honestly, I won't miss the razor blade grill on the 2019. As soon as the hybrid hits the scene, please do a detailed video (I'm sure you will - LOL).
Love your videos Jeff and many greetings from Finland! I am thinking of buying a Highlander Hybrid as the family keeps getting bigger. For me, the 2020 exterior design looks pretty (the tail reminds me of Land Rover Freelander and the front certainly has design cues from Lexus RX). The 2019 looks great and much more masculine than the bland 2020. The interior designs of both are excellent and I like that they have added that leather to the dashboard of 2020. The seats on the Limited and Platinum trims seem so beautiful. The digital watch (Casio?) from the 80s is a funny touch. I think it´s a pity the driver´s left arm rest seems a bit lacking (not supportive).
Baton Rouge, LA I'm not a fan of the new front end, also don't care for the floor cup-holders in middle row. I have a 2012 Highlander, going to see what kind of deal I can get on a 19 XLE, wish me luck!
6000 off in laffeyetta la
Yes I did
@sicpuede Sad to say, I did not. I ended up buying a new civic for my son, he is a great kid and loves it.
Trust me Jeff, no one ever has or ever will take hockey equipment through the rear glass hatch.
Not gear, but trim, curtain rods, that type of thing. Or giving the dogs water on a busy street while travelling, and not wanting to open the door.
Watching your video from Toronto
Great video, I already have a 2019 Highlander SE, it is just an excellent SUV, the most efficient and cost effective Toyota with 3 rows (4Runner, Sequoia and Land Cruiser). The only thing I miss from the 2020 is the Apple car play and Android Auto.
San Juan, Puerto Rico. Just bought the hybrid this week.
I'm from Ny and enjoy the way you explain suv .
From Dubai, God bless you nice video
Watch from Indianapolis of Indiana. Like your video!
I'm watching this review from Spring Valley New York.
The 2019 looks more aggressive and sexier but sadly the 2019 interior make it look like a vehicle from the early 2010s. The 2020 got that boring front like the 2014 to 2016 Highlanders, they should have gave it a more aggressive front similar to the new Rev4. At least the 2020 received major Interior updates it really needed it! and finally!!!! they added CarPlay! and Android Auto!
Thats why they have the 2021 XSE now.go check it out
The 2019 se interior is not that bad it looks nice
Dale City, Virginia. The older model looks higher end but the newer model have better tech. The heated/ventilated seats now use push button LEDs instead of the ancient wheel. Just purchased a 2019 Platinum due to the savings but the new one is nice.
You made the right decision.
Just bought a 2019, I liked the front end. It displays digital speed when you use cruise control. Rear glass door handy for small things not hockey bags (what are you thinking?!) I like the new tech pkg and faster and higher opening rear tailgate. From Toronto
Great review, thanks for the info.
I only have one gripe about the 2020. The roof slopes down minimizing head room on the 3rd row of the 2020. My kids grow too fast for a small third row. No perfect SUV in this segment. Everything is a compromise.
Hye, I'm from Burlington ON, Canada. Looking forward to buying Highlander limited in Summer, thx for your review
here in Graham NC! still deciding which year we like
Watching from Arkansas in 2022!!! I bought the 2019 Toyota Highlander on April 1st 2022, had it 6 whole days before a guy driving fast in a curve lost control and hit my hubby and I head on, it was totaled :(, . I want another highlander but trying to decide if I want the ‘19 again or go for a ‘21 or ‘22 ????. I love the aggressive look of the ‘19 tho.
Great video
I'm from Los Angeles Ca
I prefer the 2019 front end but the rest I prefer the 2020.
Facts. Agree! 💯
Which has a softer ride and floaty ride the 2019 highlander pr the 2020 highlander?
2020 for me, Just got one with Blue print color, love it
Fairfax,Va
2020. Alpine CA. It would be great to see all the seats down so you can get a feel for how much cargo it holds. Also, the rear visibility. Thanks
Will not trade my 2016 for the 2020. The 2019 looks a lot better.
Wise decision
Mesa, Arizona 🏜 Highlander 2020 similar to Lexus RX350 engine right? does it have yellow pages on the driver side? for shot people like me? Currently driving RX 350 is great they raise me up (yellow pages)
Do you have any platinum highlanders with the caramel interior in stock?
Should have compared the same or similar exterior colors. That would give you a better outward physical perspective
Nigeria 🇳🇬 Not close at all 😁 but love your reviews. ✅ 2019 Highlander
Ezinwa Madugba mAd ooo how u find this man 😂
😂😂
A late comment on the comparison. First Thank You as I am actually comparing a 2018 to 2021. Similar and relevant to my case. Did they get rid of the windshield glare from the dipped hood area along the windshield? The reflection is distractive in my 2018. I also like the grill of the 2019 much better. You brought up good points on the console and several other items of the interior. Thanks Out of Paducah, Ky.
I sell these for a living and almost think that Toyota could have made the 2020 first and then graduated to the 2019 style and still got some more sales. The 19 is sportier.....by far. And I'll say Toyota has made the 2020 to make it look like the more conservative model they released in 2015. Less chrome. Etc.. ...just wait. In 2022 the Highlander will get the more aggressive looks of the 2019. Longer grill and better wheels.....bet my life on it.
Well, then I think they should have waited until 2022 without introducing the 2020 model at all.
jeff is the 2019 highlander affected by recalls. specifically air bag issue, fuel pump or deadly uncontrollable acceleration...from winnipeg manitoba canada
I'm watching from Wellington New Zealand
It wasn't clear which model (XLE) you were reviewing until the end. Loved it tho, Thanks 2020 for me
When they refresh the 2020 then it might look better, maybe the 2024 model year.
They will catch on that the style is bad, 2020 version looks like a suv from 2010, major downgrade.
Definitely I go for the 2019 ! The Boddy looks way better vs 2020 it looks more like Mazda suv 🚙! From, San Jose CA
Subaru*
Hello from Indianapolis. Awesome video! I like the 2020 a lot better. Better front. Better middle consol. Wireless charging. More space in back.
Just bought, 2019 Highlander..Las vegas Nv.
Hello from Key West, Florida
Hi Jeff again from iraq thank you
Sugar City, Idaho. The biggest reason, ans maybe the only reason I would pick the 2020 over the 2019 is the android auto. Having that connectability really helps with the futurproofing.
I am watching u from Baghdad iraq
Good job
Phoenix, Az here!
2020 brown with beige interior looks like a Three Musketeers bar. I'd rather have black trim instead of brown.
2019 se all black for sure as far as exterior is concerned. 2020 interior looks better though and has more tech. Canada
From Nigeria.Enjoyed your video
Toyota take note! almost everyone prefers the Darth Vader front end!
Exterior the 19 look better
Excelent my friend I came front Caracas Venzuela Good Aoreciat it
2019 and older Xle models have leather seating not softex like the new model that was never mentioned.
Well Softex last way longer than leather seating.
Watching it from Brooklyn NY
Camarillo, Ca. With a full tank, I get 420 miles if I drive conservative with my 2018. Really like it.
2019 all the way
From Ghana
Hyattsville, MD nice video
I'm from Houston, TX. I like the 2020 better (both interior and exterior) especially the Platinum.
Fayetteville NC 2019 looks good but 2020 have Interior updates looks good
We just bought a 2019 xle, it’s my wife’s she don’t care for tech.
good deal and interest was .9% overall saved about 6000$ in cost.
The cockpit of the 2020 is like the rav4 we like the more open view of the 2019
external 2019 + internal 2020 is the sweet spot probably
Wallet made the difference
I like the last gen better and also in the used market it's what I could afford anyways. But I do believe the ae trim for last gen was the only trim that offered true led headlights, tailights, and fog lights. No other trim higher or lowere offered that oddly enough and the se model was more loaded than the xle of its generation too.
Ps: o would only look for se awd models for they also look much sexier since they black out the chrome and have minor body tweaks that add to its aggressive look
The 2020 front end grill reminds me of the 2016. Love the 2020 tech, but I would never buy the first year of any car maker new redesign. So I will just need to make due with my black Limited 2017. :)
yes yes agree, it looks outdated right?
Upstate NY here. The 2019 exterior is way sexier and classy in my opinion. I wish they had done the interior upgrade from the 2020 into the 2019 without the design overhaul. Seriously not feeling that grill on the 2020.
