Summary
With 151 currently listed for sale near Austin, TX and an average price of $23,136, 22.5% of 2019 Toyota Highlanders for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2019 Toyota Highlander 4.74 / 5 stars.
100.0% of 2019 Highlander models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2019 Toyota Highlander stands out as a practical, comfort-focused midsize SUV with a strong reputation for reliability. It is part of the third-generation Highlander family, which was redesigned for the 2014 model year with a sharper, more muscular shape and more technology to make life with kids easier. That generation also brought an eight-passenger seating option for the first time, and top trims added features such as adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alerts, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking. Even low-end models got forward automatic emergency braking and lane departure warnings, helping the Highlander earn strong safety recognition throughout its run.
For buyers, the appeal is in how well the Highlander balances everyday usefulness with a polished feel. Standard equipment included a 6.1-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, a backup camera, USB ports, and 18-inch wheels, while the top Limited and Limited Platinum trims added near-Lexus levels of luxury features such as a panoramic sunroof, heated steering wheel, and heated second-row seats. The hybrid version is especially notable for efficiency, returning about 28 or 29 mpg combined, and the gas-powered V6 models offered stronger performance than the base four-cylinder. At the same time, the Highlander was never especially exciting to drive, and some buyers may still wish for more rear-seat space, but its comfort, versatility, safety, and long-term durability make it an easy SUV to recommend.

Comfortable and drives great! Very happy with the Toyota Highlander.
Simone P
Reviewed a 2019 Toyota SE FWD on Aug 10, 2025
I just purchased a pre-owner Toyota Highlander. I picked the 2019 model because it is the last model year that had the rear window that opened independently from the lift gate. I missed that feature in my last two Honda CRV’s because the older (gen 1 &2) Honda CRV’s used to have that feature too. Both the CRV and Highlander have similar features and are both reliable and wonderful cars, which will last a long time. I just needed a larger car for my current needs. The Honda did get better gas mileage than the Toyota, but it was also a smaller SUV. I have owned different Honda CR-Vs for the last 30 years, and have been very happy with them. This is my first Toyota. The Highlander is very comfortable and roomy. My daughter really likes the captain’s seats in the back. I am very happy with the Highlander and plan to have it for many years.

Comfortable, strong and stylish. Plenty of room for wife's wheel chair, her and myself along with what ever else we need to transport. Did have a problem starting once after sitting 3 weeks unproven. Small portable starter was very handy, started right up. No issues since. Lot of safety reminders, clearance between you and car in front of you in cruse control, out of lane warning. Wish it had digital speed display. Nav works well. I have SiriusXM radio, killer sound.

It’s roomy, has all the bells and whistles. Nice smooth ride. Takes a little time to manipulate all the “bells and whistles”. Also aesthetically good .

| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Average Price | $23,725 |

Is the 2019 Toyota Highlander a good car?
Yes — the 4.74/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction. Drivers consistently praise its comfort, spaciousness, and reliability, and they also like the safety features and engine performance. In practical terms, that makes it a strong fit if you want a comfort-focused midsize SUV for family use, especially if you value everyday usefulness over sporty driving. With 34.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have some room to shop selectively.
Is the 2019 Toyota Highlander reliable?
Owners rate it 4.74/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The user feedback highlights reliability, dependability, and a trouble-free ownership experience, along with confidence in the vehicle’s long-term durability. That kind of feedback matters if you want a used SUV you can count on for years rather than one that feels risky to own.
For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about the model’s reputation and more about finding one that has been maintained well and not worn down by prior use.
What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Toyota Highlander?
At 65.2% 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 inspection of body panels, alignment, and signs of uneven wear, since condition matters more when you’re shopping a model with mixed listing history. It also helps to focus on maintenance records and overall interior condition, because those are strong clues to how the SUV was treated.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Toyota Highlander?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile options.
- Deal availability: 34.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 2,694 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 4.49% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 65.2% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $23,064, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2019 Toyota Highlander's resale value?
The current average of $23,725 sits slightly below last year's $24,841.
That price movement suggests the market has cooled a bit, which can make the vehicle easier to buy now but may also limit short-term appreciation for a future seller. If you plan to resell later, the current trend points to steady demand rather than a strong upward pricing surge. Even so, a well-kept example should still hold appeal because shoppers continue to value this model’s comfort and practicality.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.74/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2019 Toyota Highlander or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2019 if:
- 34.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 65.2% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 4.49% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.74/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2020 if:
- At $27,701, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $23,725 average.
- The redesign brings a quieter ride and a more luxurious-feeling cabin.
The bottom line: If you want the better value play, the 2019 is the stronger starting point because pricing has softened and inventory is broad enough to shop selectively. If you’re willing to pay more for the redesigned 2020’s calmer, more upscale feel, that newer year is the better secondary path for buyers who prioritize comfort over price.
