The Toyota Highlander has a bold, premium-looking exterior but is still easy to handle for daily use. The interior is simple and practical, though the plastic feel is noticeable. Wind noise becomes more noticeable after 90 km/h. Space is great for five passengers; the third row is okay for short trips but not ideal for long drives. Performance is decent, especially with the hybrid assist during takeoff, but it can feel a bit sluggish if you drive gently. Fuel consumption is excellent — as low as 4.6 L/100 km on short trips, and usually stays between 5–6 L depending on your driving style.

When choosing between a hybrid and a fuel version of the Highlander, it's important to consider what matters most to you. If fuel economy and eco-friendliness are your priorities, the hybrid might be the better choice. However, if you prefer a potentially lower upfront cost and don't mind the traditional engine, the fuel version could be suitable. Consider your driving habits, budget, and environmental concerns before making a decision.

Is it necessary to get the top version of the Highlander Hybrid? Such a big car without a 360-degree camera is really hard to drive. 😓

I'm considering buying the five-seater Elite model and planning to add 360-degree cameras and radar later, as well as replace the front seats with genuine leather electric seats. I'm wondering if these modifications might cause any unusual noises in the future. Any advice from experienced folks?

I'm asking fellow car enthusiasts about the pros and cons of a 2.5 hybrid versus a 2.0T in practical use. Currently in the car selection process. 😊

The power of the two-wheel drive Highlander Premium Edition is quite sufficient for city and highway driving. It's a reliable option if you don't plan to go off-road. You don't necessarily need to get the four-wheel drive version unless you often drive in challenging terrains or harsh weather conditions.

Hey folks, I'm considering switching to a 15-year 7-seater 4WD Elite version or a 17-year 7-seater Elite version, both with 2.0T engines. Which one do you think is more suitable? Is the fuel consumption really as high as they say online?

Choosing between the Highlander and the Grand Highlander (陆放) can be a bit tricky, especially if you're planning to drive it for at least ten years. Both are solid options, but here are a few things to consider: 1. **Usage**: Since you'll be using it mostly for commuting, with occasional trips to the countryside or highway, both models should handle that well. 2. **Fuel Type**: Deciding between gasoline and hybrid depends on your priority. If fuel economy is important, the hybrid might be the better choice, as it generally offers better fuel efficiency especially in city driving. 3. **Fuel Consumption**: For the gasoline versions, the fuel consumption can vary depending on driving conditions and habits. Generally, both models have decent fuel economy for their size. You'll find the hybrid versions to likely be more economical in the long run. Ultimately, your choice might come down to budget, personal preference, and which features are most important to you.
