What Highlander owners are saying
Summarized by Skye

The 2021 Toyota Highlander impresses with its smooth ride, spacious interior, and reliability, though fuel economy and limited cargo space with the third row up are drawbacks. Customers praise its advanced features but note a learning curve for technology. Overall, it's a top family SUV choice.
