I had the opportunity to review the 2020 Toyota Highlander XLE Platinum Edition. I am a big fan of the redesign on Toyota’s New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform. What do you guys think of it? Let me know in the comments below!

Do you have a favourite new feature on the 2020 Highlander? Or what’s something you think they missed? Thanks for watching guys!

@chriss6356 3 года назад

I was deciding between this or a telluride and after sitting in both, I hated how cheap the telluride felt in the interior. It was so flimsy feeling and the toyota felt very solid.

@DanielDiaz-te6dl 4 года назад

In versus reviews lot of people is loving the Kia telluride and the hiundai palisades But, honestly Toyota is above and beyond when it comes to quality, longevity, durability and good looking...one of these 2020 Highlander has to be mine. Great review brother! can’t wait to own this great SUV.

@bbyers8741 3 года назад

It's super nice. I just bought the 2021 Highlander Platinum. Can't go wrong. I'm single with no kids and feel good about the look. Lots of technology and nice infotainment system one of the best in the game hands down.

Toyota should think wisely about driver seat update their driver seat is not comfortable for 5 '11'' or 6 feet person specialy thigh support needed for long drive

No way! That’s epic! Congratulations! Hopefully you’re happy with it and I didn’t lead you astray!?

Have terrible wind noise over 60 mph. Have no feedback from Toyota about that. Amazing car overall, wind issues on highway

@aallison1234 4 года назад

After all the great improvement, etc. Highlander still does NOT have "AUTO DIMMING SIDE MIRRORS". All of the competitors on higher trims have it except for Highlander. Also, no height adjustment on driver's seat. Very disappointing!

@TheCarCreative 4 года назад

Thanks for the feedback! It’s hard to find the perfect car isn’t it? But that’s kinda what makes it fun seeing how they all develop and what they prioritize. For me the pros highly outweigh the few missing pieces on the Highlander but I could understand the frustration! Hope you find something you love moving forward! 😃

@alwaysiyi272 4 года назад

I really like the Highlander, I feel it's one of the best in the segment. And where do u film all your videos, they could pass for movies or even Toyota ads. Great work. I just subbed. U deserve it

@TheCarCreative 4 года назад

Iboy Dafreshest thanks so much man! I really appreciate it! Believe it or not, I get these vehicles to make ads for a local dealership and then do my own reviews in the process! It’s a blast! And I agree! The Highlander is an awesome SUV. Looking forward to seeing the Venza come back this summer!

@drutou 4 года назад

I just checked Highlander and Pilot last week. Both are top trim model. For styling, l like both. But Pilot offers more for same amount of money. Such as, black edition, full led lights, signals and intreior light, 2 level trunk space, 1touch hydraulic 2nd row seat release for 3rd row entry(highlander is stiff spring latch below seat), roomier 3rd row seat, power folding mirror, 8 way power seat, (highlander is 6way), and last the most important, more discount(highlander is 0).

GX C great to have a second opinion! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and thanks for watching! 🙏🏼

Sweet reviews, my wife is leasing her 18 highlander limited in the states, she is looking forward to using it with the android auto now standard. Moon dust is her favorite color, and the sound system of its anything like mine on my 19 Avalon XSE its awesome with 1200 watts and 14 speakers it jams.

@TheCarCreative 4 года назад

Congrats! Both are beautiful vehicles. I had a few days with the Avalon with similar feelings towards it as the Highlander. Lots of amazing features and a real step up from previous. Loved that car!

@azerogliev6520 4 года назад

Nice review. One typo I noticed on 9:52 it shows wrong price for Limited - I believe it's $49,610 and not $59,610?

@TheCarCreative 4 года назад

Looks as though your right! My bad! Though I’m sure pricing would vary wherever you are. Just check in with your local dealer 🙂 Thanks so much for watching!!

Thanks Spencer! It was an easy car to make a review with. Lots of great things happening with it.

@edb.8388 4 года назад

Good review, three minor misses for me: 1) No USB ports in the 3rd row. 2) No power folding mirrors on top trims. 3) Poor use of 12.3 screen, cannot expand to view in full scale your favorite apps, i.e. navigation or AppleCarplay. I'm waiting for the hybrid, to me there are better choices in the segment if you opt for the V6 (Kia Telluride, Hyundai Palisade). However, there is no true competitor for the hybrid, closest is Ford Explorer hybrid, but can't top Highlander mpg.

@TheCarCreative 4 года назад

Sounds like you’ve done a fair amount of research! Always nice to know what you’re getting into. Personally I liked the screen and one gripe I had was when using the backup camera, it tried to use the full width of the screen which then make the field of view some what distorted and hard to tell where the vehicle was. Most applications would have a hard tome formatting to the 12.3” screen so imo they did a great job formatting it and the use cases =) thanks for sharing your thoughts here! I really appreciate you watching. 🙌🏼

@edb.8388 4 года назад

The Car Creative Thanks! I’m strongly considering hybrid. The powertrain and all the other upgrades are worth it for me.

@TheCarCreative 4 года назад

That’s awesome! Plus the looks... they really did up the game with this one. Looks amazing.

@mct8888 4 года назад

The title is confusing. Does XLE have a Platinum Edition?

@TheCarCreative 4 года назад

Leo Dezhi great question. On the Canadian website for the Highlander, the Platinum features are “additional” on the XLE model. What I mean by that is that is didn’t seem to go from XLE to then a Platinum, but rather that it was an addition to the XLE platform where you get the upgraded wheels, 12.3 inch interior screen etc... but great point. I would be interested to take a look at the XLE version to see what is missing.

@mitchwood6609 4 года назад
