Bought it for the school runs and road trips and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.
EXPERT REVIEW · THREE-ROW SUV
2026 Toyota Highlander review
Toyota Highlander: the family hauler that doesn't feel like one. Illustrative review
7.6/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Toyota Highlander is a reasonable choice if the price is right. Standard driver-assist suite; easy to see out of and park. Third row (where offered) is for kids and engine gets loud under hard acceleration, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $40,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

Owner reviews · 4.0 of 5 from 3 owners
The cargo room is the standout. My only gripe is the touchscreen climate controls, which I knew going in.
Twelve thousand miles in. Nothing has gone wrong, dealer service has been easy, and the cargo room still impresses passengers.
