Is the 2022 Toyota Highlander a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Toyota Highlander earns a 4.5/5 user rating and an 8.2/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Form and function and Cost effectiveness.

You get a three-row SUV that focuses on the basics families need: space, versatility, technology, and safety.

The trade-offs are a cramped third row and some complaints about the infotainment system and driver-seat comfort. For you, that makes it a strong fit if you want a practical family hauler with a more polished feel, especially if you value ride quality and easy-to-use technology.

There are 27.0% of listings priced as good or great deals, so there is still some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2022 Toyota Highlander reliable?

Owners rate it 4.5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Drivers describe it as reliable, dependable, and trouble-free, with strong long-term appeal and a reputation you can count on. The expert review also frames it as a vehicle that covers the basics well and backs that up with a five-year/100,000-kilometre powertrain warranty. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about mechanical drama and more about whether the third row and tech layout suit your needs.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Toyota Highlander?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LE gives you standard AWD, 18-inch alloy wheels, heated front seats, pushbutton start, and an 8-inch touchscreen, while higher trims add comfort and convenience features such as a power sunroof, power liftgate, synthetic leather upholstery, and larger displays. The base trim is the most stripped-back, so make sure it has the equipment you want before you buy.
• Powertrain: You get a 3.5-litre V6 with 295 horsepower and an eight-speed automatic, and standard AWD in Canada. It is tuned more for confident cruising and highway passing than for quick off-the-line punch.
• Safety package: Toyota Safety Sense is standard and includes forward collision avoidance, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning, dynamic radar cruise control, lane tracing assist, traffic-sign recognition, and automatic high beams. All trims also get blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and eight airbags.
• Infotainment: The standard setup is an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, five USB ports, and SiriusXM satellite radio. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not included, though a 12.3-inch screen is available on higher trims.
• Fuel efficiency: Natural Resources Canada figures are 11.8 L/100 km in the city, 8.6 L/100 km on the highway, and 10.3 L/100 km combined. In expert testing, it returned 10.0 L/100 km.

Which 2022 Toyota Highlander trim should I buy?

The 2022 Toyota Highlander is offered in 5 trim levels: LE, XLE, XSE, Limited, and Platinum.

Here's the short version:

• LE: This is the value-focused starting point, and it already gives you standard AWD, heated front seats, an 8-inch touchscreen, and Toyota Safety Sense. If you want the lowest-cost way into the Highlander without giving up the core family-friendly features, this is the one to start with.
• XLE: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds a power sunroof, power liftgate, wireless device charging, a heated steering wheel, synthetic leather upholstery, and more driver convenience features. It is the sweet spot if you want a more upscale feel without jumping too far up the price ladder.
• XSE: This trim adds unique exterior styling, 20-inch alloy wheels, second-row captain’s chairs, dual exhaust tips, and a sport-tuned suspension. It suits you if you want the Highlander with the most distinctive look and a slightly sportier character.
• Limited: This is the upscale choice, with premium LED headlamps, heated and ventilated front seats, genuine leather upholstery, a panoramic moonroof, a JBL premium audio system, and a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen. Choose it if comfort and cabin polish matter most.
• Platinum: This is the top trim, adding rain-sensing windshield wipers, a 360-degree parking camera, heated second-row seats, and a rearview camera mirror. It is the pick if you want the most equipment and the most convenience features.

Toyota Safety Sense is standard across the lineup, and all trims also get blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Toyota Highlander?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you are patient.

• Deal availability: 27.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 278 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.89% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $41,298 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Toyota Highlander's resale value?

The current average of $41,298 CAD sits slightly below last year's $45,330 CAD.

That softer pricing suggests the market has become more favourable for buyers, which can put some pressure on future resale if you sell too soon. At the same time, the Highlander’s broad appeal, strong safety reputation, and family-friendly positioning help support demand. If you keep the vehicle in good condition and choose a well-equipped trim, you should still have a solid audience when it is time to sell.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Toyota Highlander safe?

The 2022 Toyota Highlander is a Top Safety Pick+ from the IIHS.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Toyota Safety Sense comes standard, and it includes forward collision avoidance, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning, dynamic radar cruise control, lane tracing assist, traffic-sign recognition, and automatic high beams. All trims also get blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and eight airbags. Higher trims can add front and rear parking sensors, a surround-view parking monitor, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and a digital rearview mirror.

One caveat is that the lane-departure alert with steering assist and lane-keeping assist systems can feel very active, especially on roads with tighter lane positioning.

Should I buy a 2022 Toyota Highlander or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 27.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.89% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It stands out as a three-row midsize SUV that covers the basics families need: space, versatility, technology, and safety.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $38,502 CAD, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $41,298 CAD average.
• It adds additional safety-feature technology as standard equipment.

The bottom line: If you want the stronger current-market balance of price, inventory, and broad family appeal, the 2022 is the better all-around pick. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2021 is the more budget-friendly path and still delivers the Highlander’s core strengths.
