The wait is over, the all-new fourth-generation Toyota Highlander is hitting dealerships now. The hybrid model that carries up to 8 passenger is EPA rated at 36 miles to the gallon (and yes, this is a three-row crossover). Tom Voelk travels to San Antonio, Texas to dive both the V6 and hybrid models. He’s joined by Kelsey Mays from Cars.com.

What I like about Tom is that he speaks straight facts when it comes to car shopping. “Buy the car that speaks to you”; and especially, “minivans are much better for family duty”. I admire that. Keep it up Tom!

Tom, I just wanted to say that you’re absolutely right about the minivan thing. I had a SUV for myself. But as the number of grandchildren increased...and increased...we traded it for a nice Kia Sedona. And it’s a million times easier to buckle them in, etc. 👍

@DrivenCarReviews 4 года назад

Vans are really noticeably easier to live with. Even my wife agrees with that.

@rmwarriors16 4 года назад

I have the Kia Sedona too. The sliding doors, rears seats and rear cargo room is way superior to almost suv. I also saw some where (can’t remember exactly which article) the Kia Sedona is the 9th most reliable vehicle 😊among all cars/suv/ etc in 2018.

@user-tb7rn1il3q 4 года назад

Minivans are useless since most are front drive only. Have fun driving in the winter or pulling a boat up a slippery ramp or need to accelerate quickly on a wet surface. That being said everyone should get an all wheel drive Highlander even if you live in Florida.

@rmwarriors16 4 года назад

Brian The Toyota Sienna has AWD as an option. Tires makes the biggest difference when it comes to road performance on snow, rain etc. I believe as long as your not flooring it like a drag race then grip in rain is not going to be a big problem for the most part. For towing I cannot say what a persons needs in terms of towing capability since I don’t do any towing.

rmwarriors16 True, but the Highlander has more clearance, more towing ability, drives better, and a better all wheel drive system. The Highlander is the largest vehicle that is parkable and garageable.

@SSS-mp8th 4 года назад

Currently a mini-van owner and have had it for 13 years. While I agree they are the best tool for the job, once your kids are older (mine are teens) it's not as much of a requirement. Next vehicle will be a 3 row as there is more to choose from, AWD is always offered and there is more clearance for snow.

@@alexmobil7463 Toyota consistently builds the least interesting, least dynamic cars in every segment. They have at least made an effort with the latest Camry. It's a bit overwrought but drives well for a FWD car. Even the RAV at least looks the part as it buzzes along, eventually catching up with slow-moving traffic. There is no need for a crossover to drive like crap. The CX9 is very smooth but a bit slow. The Sorento handles well, though lacks torque. The Pilot would be great if it weren't so under-damped. All are better to drive than a Highlander.

Is the driver assist suite identical to the 2019 RAV4? A dealer rep told me it was newer, but the name referenced by the spokesperson in your video is the same "2.0" that I've tried before. Also, do you know if Toyota pushes updates to their system? I've found the lane tracing to be mediocre both because it cannot identify the lanes much of the time, and because it pulled to the right frequently. Adaptive cruise control was nice though.

Another winner for Toyota. It will be reliable and hybrid, now that is impressive. Content is where it falls down a bit. Telluride looks beefy. The more angular look is appealing to me at least. Palisade maybe the better value though. The high lofty warranties on Kai and Hyundai is tough to ignore, but again that Toyota reliability says the trips to Grandma's and work etc. go uneventful. Boring is what I would call this car. No drama, no panic. And with family and too much to do in life, your car needs to be your St. Bernard. Nobodý does it better than Toyota. Besides, your Camry needs a big Brother in the garage right? Good to see you Tom. Still love your Sony FS camera too!

We love a scheduled release 👋🏽 I hate to be that person, but I think I’m the first to comment 😂 I’m never this early!

The front is really, really ugly but otherwise it's a really impressive car! Despite the hideous looks, we'll definitely consider it strongly when we shop for a new car in a few years.

Toyota missed the mark on this one.

@coffeeinthemorning Idk. I think they might lose some market share with this design. Lots of people are buying the Telluride.

Anyone who buys a vehicle outside of a reliability test is crazy. These things are experience. I buy a vehicle to last. Who gives a crap about all these stupid feature nuances. I just hope Toyota continues to build reliable vehicles.

Mazda CX-9 is still the best when it comes to exterior and interior design. TOYOTA needs to come up with a better front-grill design.

Ugly.... Toyota.... reliable!

I doubt thieves will want to steal it either...

Oh cut it out and just wait for the Model Y. Seriously people ... ?

They could have made the front look nicer if they copied Mazda CX-9

Get a Palisade or the Telluride and be happy.

It’s still disgusting. They really can’t get Highlander/Kluger correct.

машина почти не изменилась. Стала дороже, а толку мало.

Not feeling that strange asymmetrical dash. Doesn’t seem big enough and is priced too high. Really only thing it has on Koreans is reliability, should be 5000 cheaper across the board.
