- For 2017 Toyota has put the Highlander under the knife for a significant refresh. In addition to the new nose the Highlander gets a new V6 engine with more power, an eight-speed automatic that improves acceleration and fuel economy and a revised hybrid system. While some could ask for a bit more third row legroom or a larger cargo hold, the 2017 Highlander doubles down on all the things Highlander shoppers are looking for.

Thanks Alex, the best auto reviewer on youtube. Hands down. No comparisons..every review is very detailed. Big fan
Love my 17 Limited i-AWD. 23.7mpg 50/50 driving and 350 miles. Love it.
Congratulations on publishing the first real review of the 2017 Highlander. Keep up the great work, I enjoy your channel.
Still the best reviewer on the planet, takes his time explaining the minor details as well as compares to other models, I am sure he will comment on the night time cabin and headlight illumination when he gets his hands on one.
If Toyota can improve the Highlander 3rd row seat space, this is my net suv.
Alex, ur reviews are the most perfect and descent around all of the Autoreviewers!!!! Thanks for ur JOB! )))
Dude, you are the Best reviewer on youtube across all product categories
Thank you. Thank you Alex. I have been waiting for this . Dude you're the best on TH-cam.
Best review of this car yet!. Thank you!!!
Love this simple and informative review! Thanks Alex!
Also, great job Alex! Your reviews have such great detail!
Best info graphics in the business. Well done
thanks for this video Alex. I am looking into the Highlander and it was helpful
thanks for the presentation Alex
Some people just don't care for sleek exterior and glam interior. What I'm looking for is ease of use, safety features, space, etc. This looks like my new car.
Of all the mid-size SUV...I think the 2015-18 Highlander looks the best and will last forever.
Great reviews.Well details
Great Review Alex. The refinements seem to be in the right areas for the most part. Due to the issues with the ZF 9 speed units right now, this seems like a more reliable alternative.
Great review as always.
Could you start showing nighttime interior ambient lighting? Thanks.
that's would be nice.
Great review that helpful and informative.
excellent review!
Alex..you are the best!
Very informative video!
Very good , I like this, very informative
Alex I am big supporter of your channel and consider your reviews to be in a class of their own, setting new standards. I don't know if it's because I am personally interested in this particular model year of Highlander and was awaiting the 2017 review but I felt you speed- talked moreso than normally fast paced commentary and only slowed down to normal in the end when grading driving dynamics. I am a subscriber and support you but don't believe this is one of your better reviews, still gave you a "thumbs up" because this shouldn't break your streak.
Wish I had that 3.5L (extra 25 hp and torque) and 8 speed in my 07 Camry LE.
One of the good reviews
In higher trims, this might as well be the bargain Lexus 7-8 seat SUV that isn't badged as a Lexus. The standard equipment list is long and you get the almost bulletproof 3.5 V6 and low running costs of Toyota vehicles in a nice family sized package.
As an example is my cousin's parents were thinking of something along the lines of a used Q5, GLK350 or even a used XC90 for their next purchase, but they liked the features and appointments of the Highlander Limited AWD that I showed them (getting them to 'move down' into a Toyota was the hard bit) which has 90% of their equipment list but still cost less even in brand new form. I think that says a lot.
Really well done, and thorough review of the highlander! Looking forward to seeing what the db are for cabin noise. Also, can't wait to see what the 2017 cx-9 brings to the table in comparison to the 2017 highlander.
I feel like I got doubled visions when I was looking at the grille
REALLY GREAT JOB !! THANK YOU !
I consider the Toyota RAV4 and Highlander the original small and midsize/fullsize cross-overs
Please do a full review of the Toyota Highlander 2017..hybrid if possible! Looking forward to that review..
Hey Alex, I've always thought that when you show the profile of the vehicles and compare the size to its competitors, it would be more clear if you had the front of the vehicle all the way to left of screen, which would be zero feet, then show the other vehicles lengths in the bottom of the screen like you currently do.
Awesome 👏 one I like your review on this SUV 🚙 thanks
Best review 👍🏻
Hi Alex, love your comprehensive review videos. Would like to know when is the Release date on this.
Thanks for your objective and factual reviews. Love them. You're actually the only one who measures cabin noise, which is a huge issue after the fact for car buyers, like myself. Having said that, you mentioned the acura mdx 2016 cabin noise measured 69db, and received and A-, and the highlander 2017 also received an A-, but i didn't noticed you mentioning a db measurement...do you have that number?
a very decent review
There can only be one!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're really killing me Toyota! I was really leaning towards an MDX but now I'm not so sure!
Once again, great video review of the 2017 Highlander. Always enjoy watching your video. As for the Highlander, the front grill looks a little ugly to me... I do like the fact that Toyota finally updated their V3.5 engine to add more ponies and updated the transmission to an 8 speeds. I am still on the fence about the Highlander.
Good review, Alex. Will you have an opportunity to review the 2017 Highlander hybrid model too?
I love Alex
thanks for the great review. in terms of third-row comfort, would you say its better than 17 pilot?
Another great vid, Alex! Is the ACC a full speed system, or does it shut off at 30 km/h? Thanks!
Hi Alex, thanks for the elaborate review in spite of your short time with the car. Very curious about the safety sense package. Does it have full speed range adaptive cruise control?
Alex, please get rid of the intro. I always liked how your reviews just immediately started without having to wait for a 10 second intro clip.
After seeing one in person I like the new front end...so sue me...i also think the dimensions and lines on this manage to make it look sleek, especially compared with the chunky Pilot. On the downside, driver display seems outdated with no digital speedo readout option.
Is it a full range adaptive cruise control as in does it bring the vehicle to a complete stop without driver intervention besides steering?
I just test drove a 2016 Highlander. Around town and on the highway I found it very sluggish. I'm not a fast driver, but there are times when you need to get up and go. At 55mph I had to mash the peddle to the floor to pass a car. I'm going to try a 2017 and see if it any better. In contrast, I drove a 2016 Lexus RX350. The acceleration was instant and dramatic in all situations.
I love Highlander
Have you done a follow up video on the 2017 Highlander? Thanks
I like this SUV good video 😎
Alex , are you planning to do a review on the 2017 Acura MDX anytime soon ?
Alex could you do a review on the Subaru Outback with eyesight? Thank you for all the reviews.
Is a Remote Engine Starter included as standard on the 2017 XLE model?
the 2017 highlander looks good, but still worried about the the quality as it's the first model year
Hi Mr. Alex,
Your reviews are awesome, its giveing better clarity on the vehicles.
I have few generic questions.
1. When Navigation is on , do we able to listen to music or only one app at a time?
2.Regarding mileage, is this the top in 8 seater segment?
3. From tailgate door, can I keep adult bicycle in the car (Not kids bicycle)?
4. What all models with fully loaded features that we can get between $40k - $45k?
Regards,
Ramesh
I have a 2014 Avalon hybrid limited and can charge my cell phone by laying it in the console without cord for charging. For what your paying for this vehicle it should be included.
Any chance you'll do a review of the Highlander 2017 hybrid? Thanks
i have a 2016 highlander xle i have a complaint the back seats they ruttle,they make a vibration noise whenever going over uneaven roads,brought twice to the dealer and told me that the fixed the problem! so i picked it up drove home and the same problem is still there,so please tell me what should i do ,should i give the car back ,and exchange it for tbe new model,i only have 500 miles.
Hi Alex, is the optional 2nd row bench seat for higher trim only available in USA? i am from vancouver and i contacted a toyota dealership here, they are saying it is not available in the limited trim. thanks
Can you please do a review on the hybrid version PLEASE
i dont mean to sound harsh but its not a tailgate its a hatch tailgates open towards the ground hatches open up
Thank god 2 gallons of milk fit in the center stack. I always have trouble figuring out where to put those on my long drives
Just don't forget to throw a few ice cubes in there.
Wishing toyota will offer 8 seat configuration on SE model.
Hey Alex, thanks for review,
You didn't mention - Is adaptive cruise control full-speed or not?
Best car review!
The limited platinum front end grill looks better than the all black plastic
hope to see your review of the 2017 MB GLC 4-matic?
Regarding the A/C and the Start & Stop system, I test drove the 2018 XLE model today. In the process, I discovered the Start & Stop system has a button to manually turn it off if you don't want to use it. Does anyone know if the 2017 also has this?
monzx3 yes they do, but you have to reset them every time you turn it off. It would shut the engine off only when it doesn't have load or when it can stay at operating temp. But for some reason non-hybrid vehicles have starter counter and manufacturer would recommend replacement when it reach a certain amount of usage - quite high count, maybe same lifetime with older vehicles still odd. I think it would stop operating start/stop function when the counter is reach and the counter needs to be reset too.
between CX9 and new highlander, which one is recommended?
Is the 2017 MDX on the schedule?
are you going to get the 2017 Chrysler pacifica van
Alex just wondering when or if you are going to test and review the 2017 RAV4.
Can the start/stop feature be disabled? Excellent Review, you addressed all my questions.
Yes, there's a button to the left of the wheel.
Any idea when the 2017 will come out? Toyota's website said fall of 2016 but we're already in November and still nothing.
Is this Highlander faster and quieter then the new Pilot?
Damn...I was thinking about getting a Pathfinder but now that I know two gallons of milk can fit in the center console I'll never need another car!!
Is the SE also available with 8 passenger sitting???
You should add a chart for every car/van/suv .... a display format info/data sheet ...which would display .... weight ... towing rate ... length ... wheelbase ... height ... width ... front legroom ... second row legroom ... engine ... HP ... 89 /91/93 gasoline ... tire size ... etc
Can you opt for 8 seats for the SE?
When can we expect a hybrid review?
Please mention if the glove box is locking or not.
Does it have the option of adding a block heater, heated steering wheel, and 2nd row heated seates.
Heated wheel and heated 2nd row come on Limited Platinum.
if you get the platinum package you will get a panoramic room fyi
Full review release date? Thanks!
Toyota should have a monochromatic special Sport Edition model with a slightly lowered suspension and blacked out grill and trim. It would give this body style an aggressive presence.
they do. they added the se trim to the highlander
I wonder if Alex likes this better or worse than the 2017 Pathfinder
Competition is always a win for the consumer, good move Toyota.
How does this compare to the 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe?
The grilles on all Toyotas are slowly turning into a Lexus spindle grille or close to that
Is the Chrysler Pacifica in the queue?
Panoramic Moonroof is available in limited Platinium.
I'm deciding 2017 Pilot or 2017 Highlander..... the reason I like the Pilot is the future looking interior... the Highlander, is the availability of Hybrid...
I got 2 kids, one is 4 and the other one is 5 months old....
Any suggestion on Which one should I get?
If you go with the Pilot dont choose the top end one with the ZF transmission, full of problems, lower trims its pretty much a wash and comes down to personal preferences when it comes to style and options.
On paper the Pilot seemed better but when I went to see and test them I went with the HL, just felt a lot better to me and my preferences.
wait so 2.7l 4 cylinder is back?
The CX9 or Explorer are still the best in class!
Tech Defender heh you must be not worried about repairs...
I'm not. My friend of mine has a 2014 Explorer and nothing engine wise has broken.
2015 cabin noise was 68db 50mph.2017 higlander s 72db 50mph?can you tell us the reason please?Thanks in advance...
zytv weather?
Where was this video taken what state
