Overview & Reviews

Front-seat side airbags and two-row side curtain airbags are standard on the 2007 Toyota Highlander. Toyota's midsize crossover SUV also gets revised headlights this year.

• Rides and handles like a Camry, smooth V6 engine or fuel-efficient four-cylinder, all major safety features standard.

• Poor access to optional third-row seat, bland personality, not as good a value as it once was.

  Reliable S.U.V. - 2007 Toyota Highlander
  By casino2 - January 29 - 6:44 pm

  This vehicle has been reliable ever since. Ever since, I purchased it brand new, there has been no major issue. I had the battery replaced with the one from Sams club. The front and rear brakes was replaced with O.E. pads. The transmission was done with new filter, new gasket, and O.E. Toyota Type 4 fluids. Also four new tires were done. The oil is changed at every 5,000 miles.

  Wonderful Hwy Cruiser - 2007 Toyota Highlander
  By Metro Atlanta - June 7 - 12:30 pm

  My wife and I were shopping for a small/medium size SUV for our off-work vehicle. We were looking at several other SUVs out there before settling for the Highlander. It was not the best of the bunch but it was the best deal of them all. The RAV4 V6 and Murano definitely had more punch and characteristics. But the Highlander had the best value of the bunch. As expected, the fit & finish is excellent. The V6 is more than adequate for everyday driving. The handling is better than I expected. It is quite balanced for a fwd. Great ergonomics all around. The chrome enhancement on the Sport model really freshens up the dull look of the base model. Cant beat the deal at 0% for 48 months.

  Smooth, Solid Ride - 2007 Highlander - 2007 Toyota Highlander
  By Jon - May 23 - 5:33 am

  Weve only owned our 2007 Toyota Highlander for about 10 days but we love it. We ordered a Limited RAV4 months ago and got tired of waiting for that to arrive. We waited about 100 days after ordering, and were told that it might be 100 more days. We saw the Highlander -- hadnt really considered it because we drew the line on price and fuel efficiency previously in going with the RAV, but the price came down to the point we could afford it, and the gas mileage is acceptable, and the comfort is excellent. Im a Toyota fan -- I drove a T-100 pickup to 230K miles with minimal expense. Although were dissappointed with the non-availabiliy of the Limited RAV, it was a blessing in disguise --

  Ol Reliable - so reliable I bought another - 2007 Toyota Highlander
  By Walter Maus - January 21 - 5:45 am

  Im not a hi-mileage owner, but a daily user in all climates from weeks of knee-deep snow to 90-degree heat. This is the most reliable, competent vehicle Ive owned aside from a 1997 Camry. Only major repair was new rear brake rotors, calipers & pads at 90,000. Tows my 3500-lb boat with ease, but only for short distances (5-10 mi) about 4 times a year. Outstanding in sand or snow. Very comfortable on annual 3000-mile road trips, loaded with gear. Reliably gets 21 mpg at 70-mph Interstate speed, and 20 on routine driving at home in a semi-rural suburban area with little city-traffic driving. Not a speck of rust (except on the dealer-installed hitch bar), very water tight. Not hush-hush silent at road speeds, but not really noisy either. I was ambivalent about trading it in at 100,000mi because I think this reliable old friend of 9 years has another good 100,000 miles in it. But I gave it and traded for a new Highlander in Sept 2016.

  Gas mileage - 2007 Toyota Highlander
  By DTown - November 21 - 3:40 pm

  My model has the "information display" with temperature, average mph and average mpg. This feature, especially the mpg can impact your driving habits. Especially with gas over $3/gal. I am more careful about quick acceleration and braking. I have a 26 mile commute to work taking 45 minutes. I average 22.5 mpg. I traveled from Philadlphia to DC and averaged 23.8 mpg. The gas mileage is better than I expected.

  Great SUV/CUV - 2007 Toyota Highlander
  By ron - November 16 - 9:03 pm

  Great fit and finish on all interior and exterior items. The engine is both quiet and powerful for most any driving style. The ride is very comfortable and the vehicle handles extremely well. Purchased the Toyota vice purchasing a Honda CRV because of its overall value and interior space.

  Perfect All Around - 2007 Toyota Highlander
  By msw66 - July 28 - 9:16 pm

  I traded in my 99 Yukon for one of the remaining 07s since the redesigned 08s hit dealers this month. The vehicle is everything I thought it would be and more. I tested the new CR-V and found some inherent design issues with it. For what the Highlander is, a small-mid size SUV I think it couldnt be better. Power, MPG, interior layout, comfort, handling all are tops. Im so pleased I was able to get what I wanted with regards to color and options, very few were remained in the Southwest.

  review - 2007 Toyota Highlander
  By C Jones - January 31 - 3:43 pm

  We were initially looking at the RAV4. It is a nice vehicle, but it doesnt come close the Highlander in terms of comfort and value. We got a V6 with 4 wheel drive and a 3rd seat for the price of a RAV4 with a V6. I think they are dealing on these because of the 6 year old body style. The ride is firm yet smooth and the handling is very carlike. The package that we bought has all of the options we wanted without the leather and other things we didnt need. This thing goes like crazy in the snow and didnt misstep when going up a steep, snow covered dirt road. Thoroughly impressed.

  My first new car and I love it! - 2007 Toyota Highlander
  By Grace - May 4 - 10:13 am

  My husband and I bought a highlander (V6 without the third row) 3 days ago and we love it. It had everything we were looking for and more. It did come with some extras: moon roof, 8 position adjustable seat, rear spoiler and more. We had just wanted the basics, but the price was so good, we could not resist.

  A good value - 2007 Toyota Highlander
  By jjmatuszak - March 15 - 2:43 am

  This SUV purchase was a good value. The car rides nice, and I think its very comfortable. The bank seat has plenty of room. The cargo area is large with plenty of room for the kids.
