4th Generation Toyota Highlander (and Grand Highlander) Thread

Looks meh. It looks like an oversized RAV4, which IMO, isn’t a good thing. After seeing what Toyota did with the Prius and Crown design, I had high hopes. This is pretty underwhelming.

The overall length is the same as the LX, but longer wheelbase by 4". Interesting. Means the TX and LX wwill be the same size

I really like the changes over the standard Highlander on the inside and outside - I wonder if the smaller version will get them at a refresh? Everything about this design is just a lot more cohesive and attractive.

Pretty impressed with it - Toyota threw everything at this Grand Highlander: size, design, tech, features, power, etc

Significantly more powerful and advanced than the MDX Type S lol.

Oh my LAWWWDDDD. THAT FRONT END. It is gorgeous and so good looking. I love it. Way better than the regular Highlander.

Yea, not to mention it's the most powerful in its class by far (only on top trims) with 360hp 400lb-ft lol. Only other vehicle with that is Explorer ST

Acura screaming OMG TYPE S and literally every gotdamn thing has either more power or torque or both lol…

This will be a hit. We all know it.

I’m very excited for the upcoming TX!

We obviously know what powertrain TX 500h will have, but I am very curious about TX 550h+ 👀

They absolutely nailed the exterior. Very impressed, looks rugged but approachable. Front and rear rends both look great.

Interior to me is still very TBD. Wasn't wowed by that part of the presentation but will have to sit in it and "handle it" a bit.

Overall, initial impressions are this will be extremely competitive and sell very well.

Again, I ask a question many on this Lexus forum don't want to really acknowledge as a possible fault. Is it big enough for the US market?

Only Sofyan is stupid enough to put “supersized rav4” on a YouTube title photo.

I swear if one more YouTuber car guy holds his arms stretched out in the thumbnail I'm gonna unsubscribe to them. That sh1t is annoying.

Thanks LOL it's annoying, they all do it, it seems. And I think they all do it because everyone else does it LOL!!! C'mon try something original next time...

Looks like a giant RAV4. This is actually a direct Mazda CX-90 competitor.

Isn’t it the first time a Lexus “rebadge” gets an engine the Toyota doesn’t get? What chances are there the ES getting 550h+ version the Crown Crossover or next Camry don’t get?

Now I have to wonder if the Lexus TX 500h will be sold as an F-Sport Performance? I really hope not as 0-60 in 6.3 seconds or so is not befitting of an F-Sport Performance model, plus the 550h+ will exist.
