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 Highlander comes with a 3 yr./ 36000 mi. basic warranty, a 2 yr./ unlimited mi. roadside warranty, and a 5 yr./ 60000 mi. powertrain warranty.New sporty XSE trim debuts.

Pros
Comfortable, quiet ride
Easy to see out of
Good power and fuel economy from V6 engine

Cons
Third row is kids-only
Below-average cargo space behind the third-row seat

Undersized infotainment screen

The 2020 Lincoln Nautilus looks great and offers impressive standard features, but doesn’t quite live up to the luxurious standards of its rivals.

Pros
Handsome exterior design
Active safety tech standard
Turbocharged engines
Strong twin-turbo V-6 option

Cons
Lackluster interior
Can’t escape humble Ford roots
Competitors are more luxurious
Hardly dynamically engaging

The value-oriented Select model has been deleted from the lineup for 2020, which now includes just three trims: Standard, Reserve, and Black Label. The mid-range Reserve and top-spec Black Label both come with a power liftgate as standard. In addition, the Reserve can now be had with the Lincoln Co-Pilot Plus package, which adds adaptive cruise control with lane centering, a 360-degree exterior camera system, evasive steering assist, and a self-parking feature.

Pros
Cushy ride, refined powertrains, spacious and well-equipped interior.

Cons
High-end models cost a pretty penny, dinky 8.0-inch infotainment screen, probably too cushy.
