What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Toyota Highlander

2011 Toyota Highlander Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 I am 6 foot tall, and there is plenty of head and leg room in the driving position. Easy access as well. see full Toyota Highlander review
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

2012 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 3rd row seats are useless to me. Too little room for adults. Should have been an option for families with small children. With 3rd row seating, you lose storage space. see full Toyota Highlander review
2011 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6 Hybrid
CVT AWD		 Third row minimal legroom see full Toyota Highlander review

2007 4dr SUV 263-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 We bought this vehicle to replace a 4-door sedan in order to have more room for our grandchildren. Eventually they will be old enough to sit in the thrid row seats. see full Mazda CX-9 review

2007 4dr SUV 263-horsepower 3.5L V6

2007 4dr SUV 263-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Third row seats fairly easy to get into and are comfortable, second row slides for and aft and tilts a bit. Third row easy to pull up and let down. see full Mazda CX-9 review

2008 4dr SUV 273-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Front seats felt snug and the center console intruded on the driver side knee room. see full Mazda CX-9 review
2008 4dr SUV 273-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 I would rather have more second row leg room and no third row. My third row is always folded down for cargo anyway. see full Mazda CX-9 review
