Toyota’s fourth-generation Highlander builds on almost two decades of momentum—and growing interest in the crossover space. This latest Highlander launched in 2019 and spun off a Grand Highlander variant that’s slightly larger to meet growing demand.
Pivoting to four-cylinder power, this Highlander packs a 2.4-liter turbocharged I4 that feeds 265 hp through an eight-speed automatic. That power travels through the front wheels or an all-wheel-drive system.
It's hard for automakers to ignore the hot-selling crossovers, and Hyundai jumped into the ring with its three-row Palisade. This family hauler sports a 3.8-liter V6 under the hood that pushes 291 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque to the front or all four wheels by way of an eight-speed automatic.
On this episode of Talking Cars with the Boss, Wesley Wren and Natalie Neff chat about two darlings of the large crossover space. The pair share their experiences with the Highlander and Palisade and discuss the allure of large, three-row crossovers. Closing the show, they break down which of these family haulers they’d like to add to their driveway.
