This Year's Model Updates:

The 2010 Toyota Highlander is unchanged other than a new sunroof option on base four-cylinder models and an available rearview camera that's now offered on base V6-powered versions.

Pros:
  • Powerful and fuel-efficient V6, user-friendly cabin with innovative second-row seat design, easy to maneuver considering its size.
Cons:
  • Less total interior capacity than some competitors, one-piece third-row seatback limits passenger/cargo-carrying flexibility.

  • Great Buy - 2010 Toyota Highlander
    By -

    Excellent buy! The Limited model is a bit pricey, but is an excellent choice. We love our purchase so far, and the gas mileage has been impressive. We have gotten better than said on the first tank! All of the bells and whistles are really convenient, such as the Smart Key, Bluetooth phone, and auto front and rear A/C. It has good power and is fun to drive. I would highly recommend anyone in the market for a SUV to check out a Toyota, just not only for the comfort, safety, and dependability of the Toyota brand!

  • The Greatest Family SUV !!! - 2010 Toyota Highlander
    By -

    Just got the new one about 2 weeks ago. Its got about 700 miles on it now. Simply to put it, So Far So Good !! I cant think of any other SUV better than this one for a family size 4 or more. It might not be a fast and agile car in local streets but smooth... very smoothly running car in highways, and very quiet and comfortable. I was actually running down the highway last night, and I thought I was driving at about 50~55 mph but it was over 70. You know what I mean? It was so smooth that I couldnt feel the speed of it while I was driving which never happened with Honda that I used to think the better car maker. I would definitely recommend this vehicle to everyone I know.

  • Best SUV On The Market - 2010 Toyota Highlander
    By -

    Just purchased a 4 cylinder Highlander for "Invoice" and not only am I happy about that but the vehicle overall. Are you ready for this, Im getting over 30 MPG combined city/hwy. Of course Im not driving like a have a race car either. There is plenty of power when you need it. I own a Prius and have learned some techniques by utilizing the "Cruise Control" as often as I can. I compared the Highlander Hybrid model mileage to the 4 cylinder Highlander and for $20K less, I am getting better mileage. Invoice cost was $26,014.00 plus tax & license at 2.9% financing. People have got to be insane to pay upwards of $48K for a Highlander Hybrid (Limited).

  • Dangerous Accelerator - 2010 Toyota Highlander
    By -

    Traded in our 18-month old Tacoma truck for the Highlander. Same pushy salesman/dealer for both. In less than 2,000 miles, the accelerator "lost power" three times. Second time, I went to talk to the sales people; they told us to bring it in to the service dept. the next time it happened. Two weeks later, it happened again. Luckily the third event happened near the dealer. They kept it overnight and replaced the accelerator pedal! Almost got hit on a main road because the car would not move no matter how much I pressed on the accelerator. I could not get of the way of oncoming traffic. Scary! Lost all confidence in Toyota, even though I still own a 2008 Lexus LS460.

  • best in its class - 2010 Toyota Highlander

    For a 4 cylinder, I got more than expected; the 2.7 187 hp engine makes this car a nice option to have a lot fun with your family.

  • Cant go wrong - 2010 Toyota Highlander
    By -

    I would like to say that this is our first leather vehicle. Just as nice as our traded cloth Nissan. Highly impressive cockpit, road visibility, and totally quiet ride. My children love the DVD player, an added bonus no doubt. Rear reclining seats are a must. The whole no-key thing takes some getting used to. Its like the VISA of SUVs. Toyota has offered a level of refinement related closely to a lux cousin. You wont find another with more room, comfort, style, or versatility. A clear choice from any vehicle in its price range. You cant go wrong with this one.

  • 2010 highlander-one year later - 2010 Toyota Highlander
    By -

    Weve had our 2010 Highlander-Limited for one year. After 17,000 miles of mountain driving it rides the same as it did on day one. No squeaks. Eerily quiet ride. V6 has plenty of power. Top-quality build. Completely happy with purchase.

  • Great vehicle! - 2010 Toyota Highlander
    By -

    Purchased in Nov 2009, use primarily on long trips, although some around town avg gas mileage in low 20s mixed driving, on highway gotten as high as 27 mpg with the V6 AWD, doing 65 to 70. Very satisfied with that. Comfortable, roomy, love the heated seats, have to be a computer science major to work the nav system and other elect stuff. Great car so far. No problems re recall issues.

  • Trust me, you need to take look... - 2010 Toyota Highlander
    By -

    This is a superb package, loaded with value. The Limited Ed has very refined suspension, combined with the cars insulation, it makes for a very quiet and peaceful commute. The Limited ED is also dressed up a bit with 19 inch rims, chromes door handles, stain finish roof rails so looks good cleaned up for a nite out, but is equally adept at home depot and can tow 5000 lbs. Its one of the few trucks that is versatile enough to play both roles...and with the savings you can afford to buy a small sports car for top-down motoring.
