Used Toyota Highlander for sale

The Toyota Highlander is a seven-seat SUV that blends strength and comfort.

Used Toyota Highlander

Designed for families and long journeys, it's known for its spacious interior and robust hybrid efficiency, allowing you to add the miles without increasing emissions. The Toyota Highlander is a roomy, practical SUV with space for seven and a generous luggage capacity that hit the UK market in 2021. Available exclusively with a 2.5-litre petrol hybrid engine and two trim levels (Excel and Excel Premium), choosing your model is refreshingly straightforward. Both trims feature plenty of equipment, and the Highlander stands out against rivals like the Kia Sorento, Hyundai Santa Fe and Peugeot 5008 for its towing power and low running costs for its size. Its handling is more about comfort than cornering. The large body can be tricky to park, and interior plastics are a touch below class best, but a used Highlander remains a solid, family-friendly choice for drivers who value space, reliability and fuel economy.

Pros

Smooth, efficient hybrid power
Generous standard equipment
Comfortably seats seven

Cons

Not the sharpest handling
Large to manoeuvre and park
Some interior plastics feel cheap

What engine options are available with the Toyota Highlander?

UK Toyota Highlanders offer single engine choice: a self-charging hybrid 2.5-litre petrol with a CVT automatic gearbox and all-wheel drive. This system delivers quiet electric running at low speeds and strong performance when you need it, with no plug-in charging required.
What are the standard technology and infotainment features in the Toyota Highlander?

Toyota Highlanders feature an 8.0-inch touchscreen, DAB radio, built-in satnav, smartphone mirroring with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, wireless phone charging, an 11-speaker JBL sound system, and, on the Premium trim, a heads-up display and ventilated seats.
What is the fuel consumption of the Toyota Highlander?

In real-world driving, the Toyota Highlander achieves around 36mpg – a good result for a roomy seven-seater SUV. The hybrid system is particularly effective in town, where it can run on electricity alone for short stretches, keeping running costs lower than many petrol rivals.
What should I check when buying a used Toyota Highlander?

Check for any parking scrapes, especially on models without the 360-degree camera. Make sure recall fixes—such as the eCall system and seat-back frames—are complete. Also, ensure all safety gear is functioning. For added peace of mind, consider The AA Vehicle Inspection.
Are Toyota Highlander cars reliable?

Toyota has an outstanding record for reliability. While there are no recent surveys assessing the Highlander separately, Toyota still sits high up in dependability rankings. With this in mind, the Highlander is a solid choice for long-term ownership, especially with regular maintenance.
