What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2018 Toyota Highlander

2018 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

Mentioned this before, but should be mentioned again and again. It's a compact ecoonomy car with luxury under-the-hood technology. see full Toyota Prius review

Lack of lumbar support will translate into back fatigue on long trips. see full Toyota Prius review
