CarGurus Analysis: 2016 Toyota Highlander

Summary
With 80 currently listed for sale and an average price of $16,192, 27.5% of 2016 Toyota Highlander listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2016 Toyota Highlander 4.93 / 5 stars.
100.0% of 2016 Toyota Highlander listings on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2016 Toyota Highlander stands out as a comfortable, practical midsize SUV with a strong reputation for reliability and everyday usefulness. It offers a smooth ride, upscale styling, and a versatile cabin, which helps explain why it appeals to families who want something easy to live with rather than especially sporty. Owners also tend to praise its comfort, feature content, and the available V6’s strong performance.
For this generation, the Highlander comes with gas and hybrid powertrains, and front-wheel drive is standard with all-wheel drive optional. The gas version used a 3.5-liter V6 with 295 horsepower and 263 pound-feet of torque, while the hybrid combined a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and an electric motor for 243 system horsepower. It also brings useful everyday equipment such as an 8-inch touchscreen, USB inputs, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, and Toyota Safety Sense, along with up to 84.3 cubic feet of cargo space with the seats folded down. Those strengths make it a well-rounded choice, though it is still not especially exciting to drive, and its steering is described as numb and uncommunicative.

Has all the bells and whistles important to a grandmother hauling grandkids to ballgames and everything in between. Smooth as a cadillac ride, great power, and I love the auto liftgate and back up camera. Third row seats are handy to have and fold down flat. Toyota has a great reputation for lasting a long time, and I like to keep my cars many years. Drove a GMC Acadia prior to this car, and I prefer the Toyota.

Coming from a 13 Tucson that blew up on us without warning, this 2016 Toyota Highlander Limited is absolutely stunning. We are very pleased with the fit and finish on the Limited trim, the features are amazing, every single option. It rides so smooth and so quiet, has great power, great fuel economy. It has sharp lines outside, looks great inside, Toyota really did a great job with this vehicle. We are proud to be new members of the Toyota family. We hope for decades of good ownership within Toyota.

Is the 2016 Toyota Highlander a good car?
Yes — the 2016 Toyota Highlander earns a 4.93/5 user rating, which points to very strong owner satisfaction. Owners consistently praise its comfort, reliability, and the abundance of features it offers, and they also highlight the powerful V6 and smooth ride. That fits a family-focused SUV that prioritizes everyday ease and versatility over sporty driving. With 34.2% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a decent chance of finding value if you shop carefully.
Is the 2016 Toyota Highlander reliable?
Owners rate it 4.93/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
Owners describe it as reliable and dependable, and they also emphasize that it feels comfortable and trouble-free in everyday use. The feedback suggests this is the kind of SUV people feel confident keeping for the long haul, especially if they value a smooth, low-stress ownership experience. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about the model’s reputation and more about how well a specific example has been maintained.
What should I look for when buying a used 2016 Toyota Highlander?
At 58.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should start with a vehicle history report so you can separate clean examples from ones with accident records. After that, prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially on the body, suspension, and interior condition. Because this model is often bought for family duty, you should focus on signs of wear that could affect daily usability, not just cosmetic issues.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2016 Toyota Highlander?
This is a moderate market, so you can be selective without expecting a deep buyer’s-market bargain.
- Deal availability: 34.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 1,915 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 4.12% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 58.7% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $17,932, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2016 Toyota Highlander's resale value?
The current average of $18,087 sits slightly below last year's $18,865.
That price movement suggests the market has cooled a bit, which can help you buy more confidently now, but it also means future resale gains may be limited if prices keep easing. If you plan to sell later, condition and maintenance history will matter a lot, because well-kept examples should stand out more as the market sorts itself out. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.93/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2016 Toyota Highlander or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2016 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2016 if:
- 34.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 58.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 4.12% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.93/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2017 if:
- At $20,165, the 2017 costs more than the current year's $18,087 average.
- It adds refreshed styling and standard Toyota Safety Sense.
The bottom line: If you want the better value play, the 2016 is the stronger starting point because it combines a lower average price with strong owner satisfaction. If you can stretch for a newer example and want the refreshed look and added standard safety equipment, the 2017 is the better secondary path.
