Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The 2021 Toyota Highlander learned new tricks to keep us entertained on the road, when we’re not asleep in the back anyway.

Pros
Better style
New sporty XSE look
Still practical…
...and fuel efficient
Great standard safety

Cons
Infotainment is still a headache
Exterior is a little busy
Pricey top models
Small-ish third row

The sporty-looking XSE trim level joins the Highlander lineup for 2021. It punches up the looks with more aggressive exterior styling, unique 20-inch wheels, black exterior accents, and a sportier calibration for the suspension. Elsewhere, LED projection headlamps are now a standard feature and all models receive additional driver-assistance features, including semi-automated emergency steering technology that's designed to help a driver avoid collisions.

Pros
Attractive design,
optional hybrid powertrain,
generous standard features.

Cons
Few driving thrills,
skimpy third-row room,
fussy interior styling.

The 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser is a full-time four-wheel-drive icon with a handful of luxury touches.

Pros
Exceptional utility
It’s an icon
Strong V-8
Full-time four-wheel drive
We’d love to have one

Cons
Atrocious gas mileage
Not as comfortable…
…or as luxurious as rivals
Too expensive

By:

For 2021, the Land Cruiser carries over mostly unchanged. The only update is that the Heritage Edition can now be optioned with a third row of seats. The top-of-the-line model is also now available in Classic Silver and Magnetic Gray metallic paint colors.

Pros
Proven off-road capability,
strong-enough V-8 powertrain,
loaded with standard luxury features.

Cons
Fuel efficiency is an afterthought,
less prestigious than luxury-brand peers,
cabin quality doesn't match its price point.
