What Toyota Highlander do most buyers choose?

The Toyota Highlander years with the most listings are 2022, 2021, and 2020.

These higher-volume model years tend to be popular because they give you a broad mix of pricing, equipment, and availability. They also tend to attract shoppers who want a newer Highlander without moving all the way to the newest model year.

What is the Toyota Highlander's resale value?

Most Highlander model years are down year over year, and several recent ones have seen double-digit declines. That pattern can work in your favour if you’re shopping used, since it opens up more value in newer model years. The smaller declines at the top of the table suggest some of the newest examples are softening more slowly than the rest.

The 2025, 2017, and 2022 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
