2010 Toyota Highlander Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr SUV 187-horsepower 2.7L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Lots of room in the second row, including seats that recline and move back & forth. Having the third row as an option for occasional use was really the deciding factor. see full Toyota Highlander review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 Hybrid CVT AWD	Third row minimal legroom see full Toyota Highlander review
2009	4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Only two seats in the 2nd row, very small leg room in the 3rd row. see full Toyota Highlander review
