2005 | 4dr SUV 288-horsepower 5.0L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range |
Space is limited for adults in the back espically if the front passenger is tall. Seats are not bucket like the front so if driver takes a hard turn you go flying. see full Mercedes-Benz M-Class review |
2018 Toyota Highlander Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
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 |
