Would you drive a turbo Highlander? What do you think of the multimedia upgrades for '23? Thanks for watching! Jeff

@toronado455 Год назад

I might, but only as a stopgap until I could procure a Hybrid.

@thatkidjoly Год назад

I'll keep my V6

@zemo2332 Год назад

V6 will last 400K miles. Turbo 2.4 will last 120K miles and then you need a new turbo that costs 4000 dollars.

@twintippedweez Год назад

I drove a 22 and a 23. No brainer I got the 2022. The V6 not only feels much better but will likely last a lot longer. Toyota made the change because they had to, not because they wanted to. Who wants to be a first-gen adopter of anything?

@blairhenderson8258 9 месяцев назад

I have the 2023 XLE and I love it. Including the turbo! it rides so smoothly and yet it seems so light. Me personally, i love the turbo and the extra noise because it sounds like a powerful vehicle and rides as smooth as a feather. I made a good purchase, i am always winning with a Toyota as they dont disappoint. 10,000 miles per oil change is amazing!! Love your reviews Jeff!

@RamandChevyOwner 5 месяцев назад

You shouldn’t go the full 10k miles though for the oil change.Its not good for it.Do 8k miles at most.

@paulstein9258 4 месяца назад

Every 5,000 miles. Please read my comment. Car Care nut explains you need to change the oil every 5,000 miles. Also, let it warm up when cold. Also, let it cool down before shutting it off or the oil in the turbo will boil. That said, I just traded my hybrid Venza in on a 2024 Highlander Limited Turbo. Watched the Car Care Nut videos. One video was on the start stop technology. No gas savings leaving it on. I’m going to shut it off every time I start the car.

@toronado455 Год назад

You may want to tell people how low in the RPM band the torque peak is on this. It's much more useful than the V6.

@ShamuAquatics Год назад

Lots of companies downsizing from V6’s to turbocharged 4 bangers, or from V8’s to twin turbo V6’s for “better fuel economy” but the reality is, you’ll only get like 1mpg better gas mileage

@arhamkhakwani5851 Год назад

That's true ngl. But the intention of this turbo was meant for emissions as they say. If the EPA or government regulations hadn't existed, I can garuntee the V6 would still be there a V8 if they went crazy with it.

@toronado455 Год назад

@@arhamkhakwani5851 Yes. The fuel economy numbers only improve slightly on this, but the greenhouse gas and smog ratings improve more. But... I suspect it's cheaper for OEMs to build smaller engines, and lighter engines improve handling and weight bias.

@Sacapuntas69 Год назад

@@toronado455 That argument holds no merit in my opinion. There is a v-6 in the Tundra and Sequoia. So whats the difference if they put a v-6 in Highlander???????

Emissions Profit Advantage EPA

@toronado455 Год назад

@@Sacapuntas69 The 4 banger is a downsize from the V6 in the Highlander, just as the V6 in the new Tundra and Sequoia is a downsize from the previous V8 in those vehicles. All are downsizing to smaller more efficient engines.

Why is a Turbo good news? Reliability issues and does it require premium gas? We'll keep our 2002 Highlander V-6 with 133,000 miles.

@arhamkhakwani5851 Год назад

No premium required in any Toyota vehicle. Reliability wise, we have to see how well this new turbo holds. It's only been about a year or 2 since it's inception.

@robertskelton3779 Год назад

@@arhamkhakwani5851 And, it's been used in the Lexus in that time, and it will be used in the upcoming RX350, which is a big seller for Lexus, so I think everyone's concerns about the turbo engine are overblown. If any issues pop up, I'm sure it will happen during the warranty period and will be addressed just like the issues with the turbo on Toyota trucks.

Is it better to get the new Honda CRV AWD ??? I mean the new design looks really good and you still have a new powerful car. Fuel economy as it is only 1.5 L and better pricing

Is the new turbo 4 noisier on the freeway than the old V6? My wife's RAV4 engine is noticeably noisier than my V6 Highlander.

@mikesbeardeds6462 Год назад

And the turbo version is definitely louder than the older V6 ones. First thing we noticed when going from a 2021 to the new 2023. We still like the new one, but it is louder and sounds more like a 1992 honda civic.

@antoninoscaffidi2060 Год назад

But how’s the suspension on these new Highlander, I have the 2016 Highlander xle and suspension it’s one thing that I hated, these SUV are only good WHEN ARE FULLY LOADED, but when is only for the everyday driver, suspension it’s not that great, don’t know about the 2023 yet, but will find out. To me suspension is very important, if the ride is not comfortable do not care about all of the interior luxury.

@SG-js2qn Год назад

I think the Highlander is probably the best model overall that Toyota makes. But I wish it had better mileage. Maybe next year (2024) they'll upgrade the batteries to the newest technology, and mileage will get a little better.

I don't like turbo' engines at all. I don't think the engine will as long and you will have more problems over the life of the vehicle. That's why I recently went out and brought a new 2022 Highlander XLE with the 3.5 V6 which has a proven long life and more reliable. I want be buying any turbo's until I have too.
