Toyota Grand Highlander

[Anonymous]

Anyone else eager to see this unveiled next month? Supposed to be bigger (as in longer) than the current Highlander, but not so big that it competes with the full-size Sequoia.

I know it's not going to be an exciting car to drive or compete with luxury SUVs... but the idea of a bigger highlander sounds very appealing to me given the size of the current third row is a nonstarter for us. We have an 8-year-old American made SUV now that I can't wait to dump because it's been a huge money pit. I like the general size and look of the Hyundai Palisade and Jeep Grand Cherokee L, but the later gets terrible mileage and I still have a hard time buying a Hyundai SUV because I've driven a couple as rentals and they felt low qaulity at the time.

The new Honda Pilot has apparently been up-sized a bit as well, so another model we will take a closer look at.

I can’t get past the name “Grand” Highlander.

Jeep pretty much owns the “grand” prefix, and I detest Grand Cherokees, but they’ve had that moniker like 50 years. Toyota needs to come up with another name. Call it something else.

Don't know when you were last inside a Hyundai, but their interiors are way nicer and more lush than the Toyotas. Time for a 2nd look my friend.

I am interested in the unveiling since I like the Highlander except that it is a bit cramped for my family. I am put off by the rumors of the price nearing 60k. At that price point I'd start to look into mid-luxury suvs.

We are on our third Highlander so safe to say we like them, quite a lot. Agree with earlier PP though, IMO nothing beats the value per dollar for Highlanders, but when you’re talking a 1.5-2x price tag, that proposition wanes.

Sort of.

The Santa Fe is the Hilander competetor for Hyundai. While it's a great car it's not as big and won't carry as much stuff in the cargo area.

If someone is looking for a CRV, Rav 4 size then yes Hyundai Tuscon excellent choice. Except in Denver where they are stolen so often Hyundai is not sending dealer's cars. Because it is easy to steal a Hyundai and Hyundai does not want to spend the money to fix the issue.
