2015 Toyota Highlander consumer reviews

I replaced my 2005 Highlander Limited with a 2015 XLE model after 10 years and 166,000 miles. The old one was still going strong but I caught the "new car itus" bug and am enjoying the result. Will take a bit to get over the protective bubble I've put it in but it is going to be a fun car.

I just got a 2015 Highland about two weeks ago from Lugoff Toyota, sold to me by Jamie Gardner and I could not be any happier!! I just love it. This car has so much space inside. It rides so smooth and quite also. I knew as soon as I pulled out of the dealership to test drive that I was taking my car home. My entire family can ride and have plenty of space to move around. I have not noticed anything that I don't like about it. I will tell everyone to go to Lugoff Toyota and see Jamie Gardner for their next new car purchase. Thanks again, Jamie and Lugoff Toyota for all that you have done for me!! Darlington,SC

This is our second Highlander. We traded our 2012 for this 2015. While we were very happy with the 2012 we found that the 2012 had held it's value so well it was, in our opinion, the smart thing to do to trade. We have no regrets. The features in lacking on the 2012 have all been addressed and the styling is one of the prettiest SUVs on the road. As for the 2012 we spent -0- on maintenance during the 3 years we had it and in every situtation it performed very well. Our 2015 is even more outstanding and is very impressive with all the features now available. It rides well, looks good, drives great and gets very respectful gas milage for such a large vehicle.

I used to have 2002 Highlander and I loved it so much. Last year I bought my beautiful 2015 Highlander LE Plus. At the beginning I was very pleased to have it. But two months later I had a seven hour trip and my crossover was not comfortable enough to me. Mechanically there was no problem but comfort did not impressed me at all. My right elbow was not long enough? to reach center console while driving. At the same time my left elbow could not reach the door panel to rest and make my trip more enjoyable. In addition lately I took my crossover to the dealership for EPS recall. My under steering wheel plastic panel appeared to be very loose after that, even though I was told all the plastic clips were replaced with the new ones. Being said, plastic is very, very cheap. So, my New Highlander is not impressing me any more comparing with my 2002 Highlander I had before. It does look way better and has more features, but the quality went down. Would not recommend my friends to buy.

Great vehicle covers every need and very comfortable and roomy very reliable safe handles very we'll that's why I purchased another highlander

When my 2003 Highlander got hit by a truck, we were all safe inside. Unfortunately my SUV was totaled:( So we looked at other SUVs, the Acura MDX specifically, and we could not believe the price for a pre-owned vehicle! The next stop was the Toyota dealership, where we saw this beautiful brand new 2015 Highlander..drives like a dream, although its bigger than what Im used to. The XLE has all the trims and comfort and luxuries of the MDX without the steeper price. The engine is really quiet and the technology is similiar to Lexus. Im very happy with my new Highlander!

Just bought a new 2015 Toyota Highlander. Only other new car we've ever bought was in 1979. Said I would not buy new. We saved our nickels and dimes and looked at used Toyota Highlanders only to find that they held their value VERY WELL. So we bought new.

I have owned many vehicles and without a doubt this is the most comfortable vehicle I have ever driven. This vehicle looks like a high end luxury car on the inside and drives like one too! This is obviously a well made vehicle. I have nothing but great things to say about this vehicle. If you are thinking of getting one just test drive it and you'll see what I mean about comfort and how it drives smooth like a car.

Reliable. Reasonably roomy. Mileage is decent. Nice, full-sized back up camera. Rear gate lift is terribly designed and cannot be closed manually, doesn't always close when the button is pressed and takes far too long to close. In some neighborhoods, this could be a safety issue as you have enough time to bake a cake while this thing closes. Toyotas, generally speaking and specific to this 2015 Highlander and the 2012 Sienna we owned prior, simply are not made for bigger people. I am not overwhelmingly tall at 6'1" but, even with the seat lowered all the way, I have to duck my head beyond comfort to get in and find myself staring at the visor if I don't recline the drivers seat to an uncomfortable degree. Compare this to my 2008 Honda Element (which I will keep for as long as I can) and the little Honda (cost 1/2 the price of the Highlander) is by far the more comfortable of the two (a long, long time ago, in college, I owned a Honda CRX and fit just fine in that). Not to mention that the Honda is more useful, easier to drive and easier to maintain. Additionally, the Highlander's side to side leg space (length seems ample), is barely adequate. I am not a wide bodied person so that is not the issue. The seats themselves seem comfortable at first with good, thick padding but, for me, the "comfort points" are all in the wrong places, forcing my back and neck into pretzelated contortions (I have adjusted the seat nine ways to Sunday and nothing helps). I call the "chiropractor seating" because that's who I have to see if I have to drive this vehicle for more than an hour. Lastly, the center display is awful. Especially when trying to find out anything useful. It will tell you when some sort of maintenance needs to be done but acts like it is an emergency... An hour and three manuals later, you are able to determine that it's telling you that an oil change is due in three thousand miles. So, this vehicle is not for bigger/taller people or those who actually like to be able to close their rear lift gate manually. Otherwise, it is adequate. For my 5'2" wife. I wouldn't spend the money on another one though.

Beautiful, reliable and safe in all conditions. It's a Lexus frame, engine, amenities and fun to drive! Bought it used in 2008. Will buy another one but not now, it runs great! You can't go wrong with a Toyota or a Honda; we own both!
