CarGurus Analysis: 2023 Toyota Highlander

Summary
With 228 currently listed for sale and an average price of $36,535, 60.5% of 2023 Toyota Highlander listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2023 Toyota Highlander 4.75 / 5 stars.
100.0% of 2023 Toyota Highlander listings on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2023 Toyota Highlander stands out as a practical midsize SUV that leans more toward comfort and versatility than excitement. In this generation, Toyota offers both gas and hybrid powertrains, with front-wheel drive standard and all-wheel drive optional. The Highlander also delivers strong utility, with up to 84.3 cubic feet of cargo space with the seats folded down, and every model includes an 8-inch touchscreen, USB inputs, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa.
For 2023, Toyota replaced the gas model’s 3.5-liter V6 with a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder making 265 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. The hybrid continues with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder and electric motor rated at 243 system horsepower, and Toyota says the hybrid can deliver 35 mpg combined. The Highlander also comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense, including lane-keep assist, lane-departure alerts, and automatic emergency braking, which helps explain its strong safety reputation.
Its strengths are clear: it is comfortable, practical, and well equipped, with a reputation for reliability and high resale value. The tradeoff is that it still isn’t especially engaging to drive, and the steering is described as numb and uncommunicative. Buyers who want a family SUV that does its job well, offers hybrid efficiency, and prioritizes safety and everyday ease will find the 2023 Highlander appealing.

Great value. This car had everything you could want without buying the fanciest top of the line model.

Extremely smooth ride and very comfortable seats. Love the interior layout.

Reviewed a 2023 Toyota XSE AWD on Aug 11, 2023
New 4cyl. is peppy enough, just seems out of place in a vehicle this size. That plus the buzzing of something so small compared to the V6 leaves much to be desired. Handling is great. With the xse sport tuned suspension...it drives relatively good. Only upside of going for the premium audio is the 12.3 inch infotainment. The jbl premium sound doesnt do it for me. Shallow sound and lackluster bass. Build quality is what youd expect from Toyota, surprising actually...in a good way. Seats are comfortable for those lucky to be in the 2 front rows. The third should be reserved for small children or average sized adults in a pinch. Cargo space is a bit small but its what to expect in this segment. The third row means some compromise in that dept. Overall, I love my new Highlander. Its definitely not without flaws but they are easy to look past.

Is the 2023 Toyota Highlander a good car?
Yes — the 4.8/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction. The 2023 Highlander is described as practical, comfortable, and versatile, with a focus on everyday usefulness rather than excitement. It also offers strong utility, standard tech features, and a family-friendly setup that fits buyers who want a well-rounded midsize SUV. The market shows 33.7% of listings as good or great deals, which adds to its appeal if you are shopping carefully.
Is the 2023 Toyota Highlander reliable?
Owners rate it 4.8/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The Highlander’s overview emphasizes a reputation for reliability, along with standard safety equipment and a practical design that supports daily use. Its comfort-focused character and strong resale reputation also fit the profile of a vehicle that tends to age well. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about outright weakness and more about making sure the specific example has been maintained well and matches its advertised condition.
What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Toyota Highlander?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should start with a history report to confirm accident status, title history, and service records. Then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection so you can check for wear, signs of poor repairs, and any issues that do not show up in photos. Focus on overall condition, especially if you are comparing similarly priced listings, because the best value will usually come from a clean, well-kept example.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Toyota Highlander?
This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to shop carefully without expecting deep discounts everywhere.
- Deal availability: 33.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 4,192 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 3.56% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 84.9% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $34,289, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2023 Toyota Highlander's resale value?
The current average of $34,926 sits slightly below last year's $36,217.
That price movement suggests the Highlander has softened a bit in the used market, which can help you buy at a more favorable point in the cycle. If you plan to sell later, the model’s practical reputation and broad family appeal should help support demand. A well-kept example with strong documentation should be easier to move than one with unclear history or visible wear.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.8/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2023 Toyota Highlander or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2023 if:
- 33.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 3.56% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2022 if:
- At $32,083, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $34,926 average.
- It emphasizes the basics buyers need most, with a family-focused layout and strong everyday practicality.
The bottom line: If you want the newer model-year pricing context and a strong mix of comfort, utility, and market availability, the 2023 is the better default choice. If your priority is saving money upfront, the 2022 is the more budget-friendly path and still delivers the core Highlander formula.
