Great job reviewing this vehicle. This will definitely stand out as a Lexus luxury 3-row; very tastefully done! Since this is Kelly Blue Book, sure you'll be able to tract the resale value on this when most of the others have fallen like a rock!

I was able to buy a Grand Highlander limited hybrid. Loaded for $56k. 34 mpg. I would love a PHEV, but on the rare occasion one shows up at a Toyota or Lexus dealer, the markups are outrageous.

I was able to get my hands on a Grand Highlander, but my real desire was to get the Lexus TX 550h+. The PHEV would fit my lifestyle a lot better and help me save gas. However, the Grand Highlander is like $30k less expensive than what I think the pricing will be for the TX 550h+. I am not sure if it is worth going from the Grand Highlander to this. The fit and finish and the quality feel similar to what I get in the Grand Highlander, and the GH has more practicality inside than the TX does. I have the platinum gas model of the Grand Highlander, and I keep kicking myself every time I have to look at the MPG for the thing. I really wanted the hybrid. Excellent review as always, Mike Danger!

A new or 1-2 year old x7 or GLS 450 might be a better value given the dealer markups. Toyota GH platinum looks more luxurious.

@jakes5530 9 ай бұрын

According to autotrader, you’re looking at $70-75k for a 1-2 year old CPO X7 and $80k+ for a GLS equipped with the same active safety tech that the TX comes standard with. Less space inside as well. Both the Germans will likely be quicker and be more engaging to drive, but will lose out on reliability, resale, and interior space. Not to mention losing out on part of the factory warranty. Given all of the above, the TX550h for $75k is a tempting proposition. Even more-so is the GH Hybrid Max Platinum for $60k if you dont care about brand swag.

The grill is not an improvement on the earlier spindles. And the more powerful one has a CVT. Wondering if there are any tech innovations over the Toyotas or much better switchgear or much better materials. It definitely doesn’t look premium / luxury. I think they could have done a bit more with the lower models for interior interest.
