2022 Toyota Highlander Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	With each redesign (for 2008, 2014, and 2020) Toyota has enlarged the Highlander, yet the crossover's third-row seat remains uncomforably low and tight. For adults to be even passably comfortable in the way-back the second row must be slid forward, rendering legroom there also marginal. Some three-row crossovers have much roomier and more comfortable third-row seats. But if you want to be able to squeeze in eight people, Highlanders with a second-row bench can do this. Because they have significantly narrower third-row seats, the Ford Explorer and Kia Sorento cannot fit three people back there even in a pinch, so in hybrid form the former has a maximum capacity of seven people and the latter only six. (The Sorento PHEV will be able to seat seven.) This noted, if you want your adult passengers to have plenty of room, the practical capacity of each is four people. see full Toyota Highlander review

2022 Toyota Highlander Powertrain: Cons
Year	Comment
	With the 2020 redesign, the Highlander Hybrid traded a 3.5-liter V6-based powertrain with 306 combined horsepower for a 2.5-liter four-cylinder-based powertrain with 243 combined horsepower. Acceleration sounds and feels considerably less effortless than before, with the non-linear sensations typical of powertrains with CVTs. The Highlander Hybrid isn't downright slow. If you must get from a stop to 60 mph in less than eight seconds, it can do it. It just sounds buzzy and feels strained in the process. Driven more casually with the typical flow of traffic this isn't an issue. The Explorer and Sorento hybrids use conventional stepped automatic transmissions (a ten-speed in the Ford and a six-speed in the Kia), so they likely sound and feel better in vigorous driving. With 318 combined horsepower, the Ford should also be significantly quicker despite a curb weight near 5,000 pounds. see full Toyota Highlander review
