Toyota highlander.(Recommended)(Product/Service Evaluation)
HIGHS/Powertrain, access, ride, controls, reliability, standard stability control, optional third-row seat, crash-test results.
LOWS/Agility.
The well-rounded Highlander is one of our top-rated SUVs. For 2004, the Highlander received a larger V6 engine and a small third-row seat that can accommodate two children in a pinch. It's quicker, has better fuel economy, and handles more securely than the version we tested in 2001. The ride is very comfortable and the quiet interior has impressive fit and finish. While not very agile, the Highlander's standard electronic stability control (ESC) ensures sound handling. Reliability has been outstanding, and excellent crash-test results and a high resale value round out the package. A gasoline/electric hybrid version is expected to be introduced in early 2005.

The Highlander is the most comfortable riding vehicle in this group. Impacts and bumps are muted and well-isolated. The highway ride is steady, The cabin is quiet except for some wind noise.
The Highlander isn't as nimble as the X3 or Outback. Body lean is noticeable but not excessive. The light steering is precise and responsive. At its handling limits, the Highlander feels a bit clumsy but secure thanks to its ESC. It reached a modest speed in our avoidance maneuver.
The 230-hp, 3.3-liter V6 provides responsive acceleration and 19 mpg overall, good for a midsized SUV. The five-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly. The Toyota towed a ...
