I have the XSE and I love the sporty look. I've even had people stop me to tell me they hate the old person look of the Highlander but they would definitely drive mine. 😊
Wow, haven't bought a new car in about 10 years. Didn't know how crazy expensive they have gotten. I bought my 2013 new and cost me about 35k. Now they r hitting well over 50k. Hopefully my highlander last me another 15 years. Great review. Nice to see the differences.
@Paul knock on wood. No leaks at this time and hopefully not for a long time. This car has been great to us. I do all it's routine maintenance, it gets fresh oil every 5k miles and always use synthetic. Maybe that's helping? Who knows. But so far so good. Do you have a highlander?
We just bought the XSE, silver, and Black wheels. (sunroof) I like everything about it. I hope I didn't overpay for it. I would have liked to see some changes; the side mirror should be automatically foldable.
I just bought the 2024 Limited gas with turbo. Traded in my leased ultra low mileage 2021 Venza Limited. It only has a regular sunroof that opens. Car is excellent. Drives like a v6. Got $ 4000 above residual value. Disappointments. The Venza Limited had more features. I thought that by getting the Limited, the features would be identical. Venza had tremendous camera features. 360. Front camera show you everything when parking. Such as the curb and the lines. The Highlander Limited does not. That feature is now reserved for the😂Platinum. A real bummer as that was my favorite feature. List $ 51, 400. Paid $ 47,400. Didn’t expect $ 4000 off. They had dozens of RAV 4 gas models, no hybrid models. Only one other Highlander, a Platinum gas model. Between the $ 4000 off MSRP, and 4,000 equity on my lease turn it, that reduced my purchase price by $ 8,000. The hybrid Venza gave me 40 mpg in normal weather, but only 25 mpg when the temperature dropped below 32 degrees. Not recommended for cold northern climates. I live in Southern Ohio. Hybrids make no sense for low mileage drivers. May need a new hybrid battery in less than 50,000 miles.
I know. Just so much to cover and we are trying to keep videos not so long. But thank you for the heads up! I really appreciate the constructive criticism
If you have limited movement the most important consideration is going to be how far is the passenger door allowed to swing open. Maybe surprising young and or small people but a big wide open door there allows two people to help you get in and out. Think aheadl
They both look out of days and or incomplete design, imo. And this things are hold me back to order one. Taking into account that in Australia this Kluger grande cost 85k which is a lots for a 'yesterday' design car.
Nice vehicle. I like the limited front end better. Panoramic sunroof is a must, but so is a V6 engine . The stitching on the seats may become an issue.
I wouldn't necessarily say panoramic roof is a must considering all the defects and problems sunroof brings to the car in the future. Not sure it's worth the headaches.
I think the Limited edition looks cleaner, and less in your face than the XLE. I cannot stand the front-end of Lexus vehicles and the XLE reminds me of a Lexus. The Limited is a cleaner, more of a classic look.
The XSE looks like a ride a guy who wanted a real performance SUV would be driving. Maybe throw some TRD stickers on it, so the X5M drivers can get an even better chuckle when you pull up next to them at the light.
Iam waited for the Toyota Limited,for the last 3 months, I don't know why is taken so long they said its about a electronic chip,I will check in a month or so.
We don’t have a video on the hybrid. But we will try to get to one. But there are differences in a list of things such as the exterior elements like rims and bumpers and things of that sort. Also the interior too. We will try to get to a video.
Re: navigation requiring subscription; - DOES ANYONE KNOW if the phone navigator will [seamlessly] integrate with the car? (And/or if it’s a pain to use the cell navigator)?
Yes free for 3 years then you pay for 2 year subcription if you want the updates if not it still works even if you don't pay it just won't update to newest software. Just bought one XSE on monday awesome SUV.
I just want the one with captain seats and panoramic sunroof I have the XLE beige interior with captain seats I just want the panoramic sunroof maybe the grand highlander coming out for 2024 will bring it
Hey bro. Good video. But could you please change the location of filming your vides due to the light i was not able to see the car and the details properly. Keep going
Guys try getting a Toyota sequoia it’s cool it has eight seats and once I had a Toyota Highlander and the backseats weren’t comfortable so we changed it now we have a Toyota sequoia😊😊😊😅
@@VagabondBuilds Toyota is lost customers like me!! I’m loyally with Toyota ! They don’t listen customers! Look 2022 and 2023 ! Same styles nothing change! But the horsepower is decrease 40 ! That totally unacceptable!!!!!
“Thanks to our political leaders there’s more “eco” motors” 😂 In case you would need a truck, both rows of seats fold to get a dishwasher, washing machine, or even a dryer in the back. 😂😂 I lost it there
I really like the content and showing the differences in these models, but the guy that is hosting cannot pronounce some words like button properly … it’s not but-on it is but ton! Why people are not speaking properly in todays time is perplexing to me. I almost cannot watch this informative video! 😑 terribly annoying.
Toyota cheat customer that they don’t know it!!! The engines compare on 2022 is far from over!!! The engine shut more gas and horsepower is decrease 30 horsepower!!!
@@VagabondBuilds Yes it is I drive 2022 with 295 horsepower with mpg is 24 The new one less horsepower 260 But mpg is the same!! Not good ! If ya look and analyze 2022 and 2023!!!
Seat up to eight with third-row seating, this 2023 Toyota Highlander offers so much. Check out the end of the video for prices on both trims. ❤
Ya know what Toyota will go down on market! Wait n see because it don’t have V6!!!!
Horsepower go down n mpg is bad!!!!!
I got 2022 v6 but love it !!!
The same as 2022!!!! They Toyota is cheating
We got the 23 XSE blacked out with red interior and we love it! Really nice car and spacious since we only had 2 door cars .
Good choice!
Thanks for sharing
Does it have parking sensors?
Just picked up XSE model with all the updates jbl sound system 12in screen red and black leather seats just looks so cool in person.
Nice. No regret buying. Enjoy your car my friend!

using an inflation calculator your 2013 $35k car cost $44,728.79 in 2022
Haha haha
Toyota will last almost a life time lol
@Vagabond Builds that's what I am hoping for. My highlander has 130k miles and still running good. I would hate to have to buy a new car right now.

Missed the interior of the XSE, was looking forward to that
Totally sorry about that.. we kind of realized that we messed up there with not getting some pics on it.
I think they should have kept the old V6 engine, I am not a fan of the turbo engines. Thank you for the showcase.
I’m totally with you on that comment. But we apparently are going more eco friendly.
They should have the XSE in hybrid too like the RAV4, love the front of it.
Yea I’m a fan of the xse as well.
excellent explanation. Got the details quickly, good audio and videos. Good job
Thanks a lot appreciate the support!
Toyota baby!This is my favorite Toyota SUV!
Nice!
Love the XSE front bumper look for sure!
I hear you!!
Great review 👏. Went straight to the points, to the most important features of the 2023 TOY Highlander. I love it
Thanks a lot for feedback! Appreciate the support!
An excellent review. A new Highlander Limited owner.
Thank you! Appreciate the kindness
Very informative video but I clicked on this video for the XSE which was rarely included in the show and tell.
Sorry about that. We tend to focus on one more than the other, but we will try to cover both next time
We just bought the XSE, silver, and Black wheels. (sunroof) I like everything about it. I hope I didn't overpay for it. I would have liked to see some changes; the side mirror should be automatically foldable.

U dont talk about the sport suspension on the xse and few other thing like red cockpit on xse Btw good reviews love my 2023 highlander xse
I know. Just so much to cover and we are trying to keep videos not so long. But thank you for the heads up! I really appreciate the constructive criticism
Xse for FTW 🙌 way nicer with a sporty look
Haha thank you for the feedback!

Good point!!! That’s extra info to know while shopping. Thank you! Was the video helpful for you?
This is great because this is exactly what I had to do comparison. I choose the XSE AWD
Hahahaha great! Did you get it?
@@VagabondBuilds sadly I'm still waiting for the car
Excellent advice and reviews, thanks 🙏

I subscribe, because of Vagabond and Maita
Aye! Thank you so much for the support! We greatly appreciate it! Let Maita know we sent you if you ever decide to buy from them!
XSE has the superman shape gril
Haha. A lot of people think that
Personally I like the XSE front grille better
Haha thanks for the support honestly!
The one with the red license plate is way better looking even though it looks like a Subaru.
Haha I see it.
Nice vehicle. I like the limited front end better. Panoramic sunroof is a must, but so is a V6 engine . The stitching on the seats may become an issue.
I hear you on the v6 and the panoramic! What do you think is wrong with the stitching?
I wouldn't necessarily say panoramic roof is a must considering all the defects and problems sunroof brings to the car in the future. Not sure it's worth the headaches.

I can see what you’re saying. I totally hear ya!
Thanks for the most detailed review! Loved it
Thanks so much! Greatly appreciate it! Thanks for the support. Any favorite parts?
Can't wait for the grand
Yea! What exactly are you waiting for?
The limites looks like a 65 year be driving it 😂
XSE with the Limited features is my choice
The XSE looks like a ride a guy who wanted a real performance SUV would be driving. Maybe throw some TRD stickers on it, so the X5M drivers can get an even better chuckle when you pull up next to them at the light.
Iam waited for the Toyota Limited,for the last 3 months, I don't know why is taken so long they said its about a electronic chip,I will check in a month or so.
Yea. Supposedly that’s the story in many places. People are waiting for their cars.
Need this comparison.
Hope it was a big help honestly.
Hi, I ordered the 2023 highlander limited hybrid, they said it comes with the panoramic moon roof, can u give me info plz?
We don’t have a video on the hybrid. But we will try to get to one. But there are differences in a list of things such as the exterior elements like rims and bumpers and things of that sort. Also the interior too. We will try to get to a video.
Re: navigation requiring subscription; - DOES ANYONE KNOW if the phone navigator will [seamlessly] integrate with the car? (And/or if it’s a pain to use the cell navigator)?
I honestly couldn’t tell you. I can maybe ask next time we are at Toyota.

Are you going to buy it?
@@VagabondBuilds it’s very possible
👍👍👍 Congratulations
Thanks
So nice of you! Appreciate it!
Actually I prefer the front of the limited, looks better integrated.
Well beauty lies in the eye of the beholder
So your telling me if limited came with xse body style you’d choose the original body style? Be honest now..😂
Bench seat FTW
Yes ! Haha extra seating!

So you like the sequoia a whole lot better?
True, but the Sequoia also costs about $15,000 more
@@douganderson1212 I work at a Toyota dealership and I can tell you a sequoia will cost you 35k more than a highlander limited
How does the lower trim look better than the limited trim. I feel like they switched the names lol
No. We did not switch names 😅
@@VagabondBuilds hahahaha I know you didn’t . I was referring to Toyota
Toyota Highlander compared to Honda pilot. Because the V6 motor will go for pilot
I might right there with you on that decision. Not a fan of the 4 cylinder ?
@@VagabondBuilds
Toyota is lost customers like me!!
I’m loyally with Toyota ! They don’t listen customers!
Look 2022 and 2023 ! Same styles nothing change!
But the horsepower is decrease 40 !
That totally unacceptable!!!!!

The Honda will be beat highlander
It’s still v6 and more horsepower! The price cheaper highlander
“Thanks to our political leaders there’s more “eco” motors” 😂
In case you would need a truck, both rows of seats fold to get a dishwasher, washing machine, or even a dryer in the back. 😂😂 I lost it there
Hahahahaha glad I’m making people laugh lol
There is Heated steering wheel in XSE also. ...
I believe it’s an option you are able to have but this exact one didn’t have it
does it fit in home garage
Yes it does I believe. Also depends what size garage you have
What's the vehicle length?
Wanted to buy a new highlander but can't/won't downgrade to something less than V6 engine. Super disappointed in Toyota.
Not a fan of the turbo engines coming in?
What are ‘buh-ins’?
You know buh-Ins lol

I’ll go with KIA or Hyundai at this point it’s still have a V6.
You like the v6?
@@VagabondBuilds
I don’t care who brand name but this one is wrong marketing because the horsepower and mpg!!
Xse is definitely superior
Why do you say that?
The stitching work on seats is very poor, really. What happened to Toyota high quality these last years.
You feel like the quality is going down the drain?
Why is the limited looking so basic than the XsE.. I think the XSE looks better than the limited..
I agree. What do you like best about these highlanders?
I tried with 4 cylinder. This car does not run
Not run? Meaning like no power?
👍
Appreciate it!
It's about the same size as a Toyota Camry inside
Ummm… I would have to say it’s bigger than the Camry. Your talking about midsize sedan compared to a midsize suv.
I don’t like the grill you can see the radiator from far
Oh yea. Didn’t think about that. I mean better airflow to the radiator haha

@@VagabondBuilds it’s a fairly large suv, it needs the v6. The i4 will be nowhere near as reliable as a v6 long term

A very lame comparison. You spent 80% reviewing the Limited. Never even showed the XSE interior.
