Expert Verdict

A safe, sensible three-row pick — though shoppers who need real third-row space should cross-shop the Grand Highlander.

Pros & Cons

What We Love

  • Efficient turbo and hybrid powertrains
  • Comfortable ride
  • Strong resale value
  • Standard Safety Sense 3.0

Things to Consider

  • Third row is tight for adults
  • Grand Highlander is roomier for similar money
  • Turbo four sounds coarse
