2020 Toyota Highlander Reviews SummaryMidsize three-row SUVs are all spacious and powerful, but only the Toyota Highlander reaches the premium threshold for passenger comfort. Redesigned for 2020, the Highlander's revised styling and technology are secondary to its silent operation, soft ride, and cosseting interior. The upper trims feel and drive just like a Lexus, without the upcharge. There is nothing exciting about a Highlander, and yet, there is no other SUV in the $40,000 to $55,000 range that feels so effortless and tranquil. | |
2021 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Reviews SummaryA 2021 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid pays for itself in a little more than three years. We’ll show you the math later in this review, but based on national averages, it goes from being more expensive to buy to saving you money after about three years of ownership. Toyota sells the model year 2021 RAV4 in Hybrid LE, Hybrid XLE, Hybrid XSE (with or without Technology Package), and Hybrid Limited trim levels. Pricing runs from $32,950 to $43,350, not including an $1,860 destination charge. | |
