Summary
With 109 currently listed for sale near Bakersfield, CA and an average price of $22,372, 35.8% 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 .

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 many also like the safety features and engine performance. For you, that makes it a strong fit if you want a practical, comfort-focused midsize SUV for family use, especially if you value everyday usefulness over sporty driving. With 34.7% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is still 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 also emphasizes reliability, along with a trouble-free ownership experience and confidence in the vehicle over the long term. That combination suggests the Highlander is the kind of used SUV you can count on if you want something built for steady daily use. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about the model’s reputation and more about finding one with clean history and consistent maintenance.
What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Toyota Highlander?
At 64.5% 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 past damage. After that, prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the listing price looks unusually attractive. Focus your condition check on signs of prior repair quality, wear consistency, and whether the SUV still feels tight and well maintained.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Toyota Highlander?
This is a moderate buyer’s market, so you can shop selectively and still find worthwhile options.
- Deal availability: 34.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 2,634 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 4.68% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 64.5% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $23,070, 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 $23,668 sits slightly below last year's $24,829.
That softer pricing can help you buy at a more favorable entry point, but it also means future resale gains may be more limited if the market stays soft. If you plan to sell later, a well-kept example with clean history should hold up better than one with accident history or visible wear. Strong demand for this model’s comfort and reliability should continue to support used-market interest.
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:
- 34.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 64.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 4.68% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.74/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2020 if:
- At $27,605, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $23,668 average.
- The redesign brings a quieter ride and a more upscale, Lexus-like feel.
The bottom line: You should lean toward the 2019 if you want the better value and are comfortable shopping carefully for condition and history. If you want the newer redesign and are willing to pay more for a quieter, more premium-feeling SUV, the 2020 is the stronger upgrade path. For price-sensitive buyers, the 2019 is the smarter buy as long as you verify the vehicle’s past and inspect it closely.
