Hi guys i had a drive in the Toyota Highlander It is very nice and it is very Comfortable and it's like Limo and it's nice and Comfortable to drive and it drive's very good
My remote start. Kept on when I unlocked and entered the car but immediately shut off when I put it in reverse. Can’t drive the car without your fob. That’s bad. Got stranded in my Venza when my fob battery failed without warning. That’s why I tested the remote start to see if I could drive it with a dead fob. Nope.
I brought this last month, this is the greatest fuel efficient SUV that exists. So far no problems with it except for the sound of the CVT engine which I think is sometimes annoying
Thanks for the great detailed review! This exact model is high on my list, and after watching your video I'm really hoping to be able to test drive one soon. Not too many on the lots around here at the moment to actually test drive!
Currently torn between this, top trim, and an XC90 which is about 15000 EUR more for the same equipment. I do consider the XC90 being more upmarket, more luxurious, but I hate the fact that they say that this lineup of ICE engines will be their last, they turned off all development of them. I do need the 7 seats, having 4 children.
@@PaulsPlace By the way, I would have liked if you also tested the Highlander’s third row. Subbed and liked anyway. I cannot test drive the Highlander, and to test a XC90 I have to drive several hours from here.
I would actually really like an honest opinion from you on this: Toyota Highlander Luxury (Platinum equivalent here), with all the options - 58500 EUR - Good enough I think for my family of 6, more reliable potentially. Volvo XC90 B5 (petrol or diesel) Ultimate with Air Suspension and 360 cameras as extra options - 74000 EUR - The T8 is out of reach, 7000 more, with 74000 already being a huge stretch. I would have to go for Ultimate, some 4000 over the base of 70000 (Plus, with air s.) which I would consider the min, because only the Ultimate here has the Climate package, with air vents for the third row of which I think is really needed. Toyota has everything I would say, the only thing truly missing in my opinion is the Air Suspension.
I actually have reviews on my channel for the XC90 and a Highlander XLE where I climbed in the third row! Feel free to check those out. The XC90 had the air suspension and I think the Toyota has the exact same ride quality in my opinion. The Volvo however had the best stereo system I have ever heard in my entire life by a long shot, plus they’re much safer.
The Volvo XC90 has been nothing but problems since it was developed. Mainly with the center screen shutting down and not allowing you to control anything.
Paull, great review as always. What did you like about the Platinum trim vs the XLE you tested last year? I was surprised in the change of opinion from the XLE.
Paul, I’m beginning to really LOVE the Highlander Hybrid mainly because of your reviews on it. You mentioned having second thoughts about your CR-V Hybrid. Would you really trade it for the Highlander at this point? I ask because I have a ‘23 Subaru Forester Limited that I really like. However I’m also thinking about this Highlander as a car I’d really love to own. I also don’t need the third row. But it seems more reliable and comfortable than my Subie.
Thanks! I actually mentioned my Civic, hahaha. The CRV Hybrid I have no regrets! It's tempting for me to trade, but i don't need a third row! The Subie you have is very nice, I'd love to test drive one of those soon.
I haven’t driven the turbo one yet, but I can definitely say I’d prefer the hybrid one any day. Efficiency and smoothness will be no match for the turbo.
@@PaulsPlaceThanks for your input. You’re right. I was loaned a Subaru Ascent for two weeks while my Forester was waiting for a part. Where I can commute four days, 122 miles round trip in my car, using a 15 gallons, the Ascent did it in three days using 17 gallons. I know it has the same gas mileage as the Highlander 2.4T. So now I’m focusing on the hybrid.
@@PaulsPlaceI went for the 2024 Limited turbo. Traded my Venza hybrid. Immense difference. The turbo 8 speed is so smooth. Limited is very quiet vs the droning of the Venza. That said, for congested city traffic, the hybrid. For driving satisfaction, the turbo. Most bloggers recommend XLE as best value. The Limited is so much more enjoyable for a small difference in price. Your decision. Is mpg increase worth sacrificing driving enjoyment. Averaging 22 mpg in city driving. Got 28 mpg the only time I took a 30 mile trip with about a dozen stop lights. My first start each morning, for my typical 3 mile drive to the gym, 17 mpg. Jumps to 22 mpg after that.

Added comment. The bench seats in my Limited are spacious, extremely comfortable.

Well, matter of taste - I like the sound. Reminds me of tank engine :-)
Volume knob is for the passenger also the platinum has the heads up display

I’d recommend test driving both of them! I was very surprised with the Highlander.

Thank you for the detailed review - can't wait to get mine!
I test drove as 2021 Saturday (buying a 2024) and the eCVT is nowhere as bad as when I drove them in 2011 and 2015 with a Nissan Rogue then a Prius V
Nice video!
Hi Paul How Are You Could You Review The 2025 Mazda CX-70 GT-P And 2024 Lexus GX550 Overtrail
I will do my best! I’ll get there eventually. Thanks for watching.
Paull, great review as always. What did you like about the Platinum trim vs the XLE you tested last year? I was surprised in the change of opinion from the XLE.
Thanks, me too! The seats mainly, I mentioned some other things in the video too! Thanks for watching!
I'm considering either the black, white or blue with either that interior or the darker orangish interior
still no torque vectoring in 2024 hybrid?
My Hyundai shut off when opening the door after remote start. Its probably a safety feature.

Great video, Paul. Nice knees! hehe
Thank you for your tour !
The problem with the brake pedal could be the worst problem !
Thanks for another great video. Besides economy, which one do you prefer, the turbo or hybrid? I’m torn between the two.
I haven’t driven the turbo one yet, but I can definitely say I’d prefer the hybrid one any day. Efficiency and smoothness will be no match for the turbo.

I just purchased mine today does any one one what kind of gas is the best for this car ?
Since it’s a naturally-aspirated engine, regular gas is best.
How is the heads up ? Does it work with nav?
When will you be able to test the new Santa Fe hybrid?
Hopefully soon! I put in a request!
wooow
