“The third row is a 50/50-folding setup that offers much more space than the first-gen Highlander's.” — Car and Driver
“Exceptional balance of performance and fuel economy, attractive cabin, flexible second-row seat design, standard third-row seat.” — Edmunds.com
“Steep price compared to standard Highlander, all-wheel-drive system isn't as robust as most, kids will only fit in that third row.” — Edmunds.com
“The third-row seat is really only suited for kids, so if you need to carry more than five adult-sized people on a regular basis, the Tahoe/Yukon hybrids or something like the Ford Flex will be preferable.” — Edmunds.com
“I drove in a slow, plodding way that makes the most of the hybrid's electric motor. The problem is this driving style annoys other motorists, especially those caught behind you.” — The Wall Street Journal
