2017 Toyota Highlander Seat Room and Comfort: Cons

2018 4dr SUV 295-horsepower 3.5L V6
8-speed shiftable automatic AWD
3rd row seat is midget sized. Claiming that the Highlander is an 8-passenger vehicle is a lie. It's either 5 normal-sized people, or Snow White and the 7 dwarfs. There is no way you can accommodate 8 normal-sized people comfortably in this car. see full Toyota Highlander review
