Man......you did a good job of selling it to me. I've never owned a hybrid but think I will get one of these next year. Maybe a year end 2022 model. I've always liked the looks of the Highlander but never purchased one for whatever reason. This really is one of the best test drives I've seen on youtube.
That was the best review I have seen. I don't care too much for what kind of headlights and fender the vehicle has. I am more interested in how it drives. This review made that point very clear. Thank you.
Well, you sayy everything so nice and perfect, but you dont say that the noice that comes from the engine connected with E-CVT transmission everytime when you pushh the pedal gas is so loud which blows my mind....
You are wrong, the car is ultra quiet unless you floor it, but why would you floor it in 99% of driving situations? You buy a Toyota hybrid for smoothness and economy, not for pedal to the metal.
Why don’t right-hand-drive Highlanders get the 12.3 inch infotainment screen that the left-hand-drive ones get, and instead we have to make do with only an 8 inch screen?
It is very informative video thank you, but man, how much have you charged Toyota for all those words of sheer admiration? Super , great, etc were used dozens of times.....Do not get me wrong, it is a good car, that for instance I still consider to swap from my current Q5, but you painted such a rosy picture that is almost impossible to believe in. I took this car for a 2 hrs test drive and indeed it’s very spacious, incredibly comfy and quiet at low speeds. Good sound from JBL and plenty of electronic gimmicks top up overall good impression. It is great on fuel consumption as well, unless you go fast on a highway. But when it goes on a highway ( and to me is made for long hours drive) it gets noisy anytime you accelerate (and that is pretty annoying experience) , above 140 km/h is constantly noisy and on driving properties in nowhere near its German rivals. On a narrower , curvy roads behaves like a canoe on a river so please, be a bit more objective?
Great job, Dan! Please give info about the torque and how did you feel car's response when kick-down. And about it's torque - is it strong enough for this quite heavy SUV? Thanks!
My friend I'm with u on the look of Highlander over Rav4! Highlander looks great inside n out, has good road manners, great tech' & Safety-Sense 2.0. I like this 7-passenger SUV very much, I'm a Hyundai guy & I would probably buy the Palisade over this vehicle, but it's a great looking & driving SUV nonetheless my friend. Thanks again for another outstanding review & driving impressions. I have to watch some of your other reviews to get caught up! You are great my friend enjoy so much your videos!...✌️🙂
Hi SDA Dan - great video review You said that the Highlander does "around 50km in summer 35 km Winter" on EV only. Did you test this in real driving? If so, was the above klms done on normal driving or very slow driving on near flat roads because in the RAV 4 Hybrid and Camry Hybrid you can not get these numbers except on the RAV4 Prime. Does it have larger batteries than the RAV 4? How did the road noise and engine noise compare to a RAV 4 hybrid (not Prime) How did the comfort and ride compare to the RAV 4? Was this the top of the range model Highlander? with thanks Breaker (Australia) PS the Highlander is called the KLUGER in Australia because Hyundai registered the name Highlander first for their top of the range Hyundai SanteaFe. This Hybrid Kluger/Highlander will be released in Australia in about 1 month
Why only Grande series?! Is that you or Toyota assumed, everyone will buy the Grande version? I've just checked all the So called reviewers are using " Toyota Kluger 2021 Grande version". What are the full options for GL & GLE ?
It’s a great car. The thing is it’s fuel consumption is not 6L/100kms. If you fill up full tank of 65L, you can only travel around 680kms, it’s about 11L/100kms in real world travel. And the patrol engine can travel around 660kms of 68L in full tank in real world travel, this is both showing in their dashboard straight after you filled up your feel. Somebody will say, it will make a difference if your driving condition and habits, but it’s not, it shows in your dashboard straight after you filled up your gas, then that number will goes down by your road travel conditions or you drive habits, it never goes up even if your driving habit was very very gentle, this was just an excuse from manufacturer. What I know it was not much difference travel range between hybrid and patrol model for 2021 highlander. Not body showing this number before....
You have to abuse the car to get that fuel consumption. Regards the fuel tank, Toyota keeps a high reserve that it's not counted in remaining km. Study a bit more before trashing something

Thank you for the test drive .... is the best part.... cool dude

Toyota made nice luxury interior on Highlanders in 2020 & 2021👍👍even better than Lexus RX 350 & 450 models lol…..
Yess 👍

For me was not that noticible 👍

Thanks Mako 👍🙏for feedback. Make sense what you said. I will keep in mind 👍
He says like that about most cars, he is probably very excited.
Very Good and informative Video. One of the best I've seen about the Highlander.
Thanks Arthur 🙏

Radu the torque feel quite good and it has enough power 👍👍

Great job ! Your favorite car between highlander and Santa Fe ? 😅
Scott both are great but I like more Santa Fe 🙂
Would you choose tesla 3 or hilander for 500 km trip.... Witch's more relaxing? Thank you🙏
Alon for 500km is more relaxing Highlander....better seats more space better suspensions 👍
@@SDADanCars thank you very much

I didn't test it just said from my experience 👍
He was wrong. 2-3-4 km plus minus depending on the situation. This is not a plug-in
@@zmirc Thanks
@@zmirc What would be more fuel efficient? Toyota Highlander Hybrid or the upcoming Mazda CX60 3.3 Diesel Mild-Hybrid?
what is the range with the hybrid engine?
Around 50km in summer 35 km Winter 👍👍
Great video
Thanks 👍🙏
Wonderful video thank you.real life pro review
Thanks Alon really appreciate your feedback 👍🙏

Here in Switzerland is the only version available at that time to Review 👍
Deep curves the dynamic cruise loose its lane visibility and it is assist as named rightly.
👍
thank you I guess, you just sold me a car))😅
Thanks for feedback my friend. Iam happy it was useful 👍👍🙏🙂

Bullshit

too many "nice" words for honest review. sounds like toyota salesmen...
Thanks for feedback Malenko 👍🙏you are right ...I try to fix this
-7 is frickin cold?
😁 Actually for filming a few hours in -7 it is pretty hard.....
Good review but way too long
Thanks Mohammad for feedback 👍🙏
It feels as if you work for toyota...the video does not sound impartial at all. Anyhow, i like the car.
🙂 Thanks for feedback Viktor. To be honest this Highlander was my dream car when I was small ...I like it
Хочу Toyota
👍
Ну как?Купил или отпустило уже?😁
Don’t hog the middle lane
That engine note sounds terrible. Too small engine for such a big car.
Thanks for feedback 👍🙏
It has the same weight as rav4 prime...and it's also the same drivetrain, only not the large battery. Read the specs, then talk...
@@zmirc you do know 2 tons is a heavy vehicle for a 2.5L I4 right? All you’ve managed to say is the RAV4 is a heavy car.
I like the front end, but the back looks really bloated like a huge butt.
Me to 👍
