I chose to buy the Toyota Highlander mainly for its reliability and durability. I test-drove both the petrol and hybrid versions, and honestly, they feel like two completely different cars. In terms of performance, there's not a huge difference, but the petrol version has noticeably better acceleration, especially at higher speeds. What I really appreciated was the spacious interior — perfect for family trips and plenty of room for the kids and cargo. As for the interior design, it may not feel as luxurious or high-tech as some of the newer Chinese brands, but I believe quality matters more than oversized screens or leather finishes. Those are just aesthetics — they don’t reflect the actual build quality or long-term reliability of the car. After two weeks of driving, I haven’t noticed any issues like jerking or strange noises. I looked at a lot of cars before deciding, but the more options you see, the harder it gets to choose. I wanted something I could rely on for at least 10 years without stress. Since I drive mostly in cold regions (like Harbin), I went with the petrol version instead of the hybrid — I was concerned about hybrid durability in extreme winters. I bought the 380T Luxury trim, and I can say without hesitation that its driving feel is much better than the hybrid version. Fuel consumption on the highway at around 110 km/h is about 7.3L/100km, and in the city, it’s about 10L/100km, which I find acceptable for a car of this size. My advice? Don’t rely too much on online reviews. Just look around you: What cars are common on the road? What models last for years? What cars rarely show up in repair shops? That’s what everyday people can really trust. I got a decent deal — paid in full and got AED 42,000 off the list price. So if you're planning to buy, negotiate hard and choose what truly fits your needs.

The Toyota Highlander has a bold, premium-looking exterior but is still easy to handle for daily use. The interior is simple and practical, though the plastic feel is noticeable. Wind noise becomes more noticeable after 90 km/h. Space is great for five passengers; the third row is okay for short trips but not ideal for long drives. Performance is decent, especially with the hybrid assist during takeoff, but it can feel a bit sluggish if you drive gently. Fuel consumption is excellent — as low as 4.6 L/100 km on short trips, and usually stays between 5–6 L depending on your driving style.
