2025 Toyota Highlander Model Review - Phoenix, AZ

What's New for the 2025 Toyota Highlander?

The Toyota Highlander has been a family favorite for decades. Its old-school SUV charm attracts families who need to accommodate a large number of passengers. The 2025 version makes all-wheel drive standard on the XSE trim and delivers a nice sport drive default mode for the XSE as well. Toyota ports over the refined styling and performance of last year's model and throws in a few upgrades in the early trims.

What Are the 2025 Highlander Trims & Features?

The newest Highlander is available in LE, XLE, XSE, Limited, and Platinum trims. Hybrid versions are available for the XLE, Limited, and Platinum trims. An XLE Nightshade and Limited 25th Hybrid Highlander will also be available at our dealership. LE trims start out with three rows of seating and room for up to eight people. Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+ is standard on even the base model Highlander. For even more from your Highlander, the XLE adds SofTex-trimmed front and second-row heated seats and wireless device charging; XSE models sport 20-inch black alloy wheels and a sport-tuned suspension system. Limited trims come with a standard 12.3-inch Toyota Audio multimedia touchscreen and a JBL sound system with 11 bold speakers. Leather-trimmed seats are also standard on Limited Highlander models. A Platinum trim sports the model's beautiful panoramic glass roof and a 10-inch head-up display for the driver.
