TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Toyota Highlander
| 2015 Toyota Highlander Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| Toyota replaced the 2013 Highlander's rear struts with control arms to enable a three-inch-wider third-row seat, and then used the extra space to cram in a third seating position. So if you need seats for eight people, only the Highlander will do in this threesome. A top-of-the-line Santa Fe only seats six. Other eight-pass options include the Honda Pilot and GM's large crossovers. But those three people best be small, as the Highlander doesn't have nearly as much rear legroom as the Pathfinder or the Santa Fe. To fit children of even middling size in the third row it's necessary to slide the second row well forward. The second row seat cushion is mounted too low for adult comfort. The Nissan's second row suffers from a similar shortcoming, but the Hyundai's does not. see full Toyota Highlander review | ||

TrueDelta Reviews the Powertrain of the 2015 Toyota Highlander
| 2015 Toyota Highlander Powertrain: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2014 | While the Highlander's 3.5-liter engine does not include the latest tech or produce the most power, it remains the smoothest, sweetest-sounding V6 you'll find in the segment. Hitched to a six-speed automatic (offered only with the four-cylinder engine in past years), it feels stronger than its 270-horsepower rating. The Pathfinder and Santa Fe can also get to sixty mph in under eight seconds, but the Nissan doesn't sound or feel nearly as good in the process and the Hyundai's peakier engine doesn't provide as reassuringly solid a shove in typical driving. Fuel economy is about the same for all three crossovers. With all-wheel-drive (AWD), the Highlander earns EPA ratings for 18 mpg city, 24 mpg highway. The Santa Fe is rated the same, the Pathfinder a single mpg high (likely thanks to its CVT). In my suburban driving the Highlander's trip computer reported somewhat lower numbers than the Pathfinders, high teens vs. low twenties, but unusually cold temps could explain much of this difference. On one drive home from my son's school the trip computer reported an average of 27, about even with the best observed in the Nissan. At a steady 65 mph on the highway the trip computer reported about 25, close to the EPA rating. Toyota offers two other engines in the Highlander. A 185-horsepower four-cylinder available only on the front-wheel-drive LE is much weaker and was just a single mpg more efficient in the EPA's testing. The V6 is easily worth the additional $1,305 Toyota charges for it. A hybrid V6 gets better fuel economy, especially in the EPA city test (27/28), but partly because you can't get it in XLE trim costs nearly $10,000 more. Limited-to-Limited the difference is still $6,200. see full Toyota Highlander review | |
