CarGurus Analysis: 2025 Toyota Highlander

Summary
With 1,724 currently listed for sale and an average price of $42,143.00, 32.5% of 2025 Toyota Highlanders for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
92.1% of 2025 Highlander models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2025 Toyota Highlander stands out as a practical, comfort-focused midsize SUV with a long reputation for reliability and strong resale value. It is part of the fourth generation, which brought more upscale styling and interior features, and Toyota reinforced the body to make it more comfortable on the road. The Highlander’s appeal has always been its ability to do family duty well: it offers a smooth ride, useful versatility, and the kind of everyday refinement that makes it easy to live with.
For 2025, the Highlander continues to offer both gas and hybrid powertrains, with front-wheel drive standard and all-wheel drive optional. The hybrid can deliver 35 mpg combined, which is much more than most other midsize SUVs, very few of which offer conventional hybrid drivetrains. Cargo space is another strength, with up to 84.3 cubic feet available with the seats folded down. Every Highlander also comes with an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, and Toyota Safety Sense, giving it a solid mix of convenience and safety equipment.
Its main drawbacks are familiar ones. The Highlander is not especially exciting to drive, and Toyota’s tech remains a hassle to use. The third row is also described as tiny, so buyers who need true adult-sized seating in the back may want to look elsewhere. Even so, the 2025 Highlander remains appealing because it combines comfort, efficiency, practicality, and a strong safety and reliability record in a package that has long been one of the most sensible choices in its class.

Is the 2025 Toyota Highlander a good car?
The 2025 Toyota Highlander stands out in the crowded midsize SUV market due to its blend of reliability, comfort, and practicality. The Highlander also offers hybrid options, providing excellent fuel efficiency without sacrificing performance, and it remains a strong fit if you want a family-friendly SUV with a car-like driving experience and room for up to seven passengers.

Is the 2025 Toyota Highlander reliable?
The 2025 Toyota Highlander is described as a reliable, practical SUV with a reputation for comfort and everyday usability. Its soft ride, family-focused cabin, and hybrid efficiency all point to a vehicle built for steady, low-drama ownership rather than excitement.

What should I look for when buying a used 2025 Toyota Highlander?
Accident-free inventory is excellent at 92.1% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
You should still run a history report on any listing you’re seriously considering, even if the market looks clean overall. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re comparing higher-mileage examples or vehicles priced near the top of the range. Focus on overall condition, maintenance records, and signs of wear that could affect long-term ownership costs.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2025 Toyota Highlander?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient and compare listings carefully.
- Deal availability: 33.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 1,725 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 10.78% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 92.1% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $39,494.14, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2025 Toyota Highlander's resale value?
The current average of $42,143 sits slightly below last year's $47,233.
That price movement suggests the market has cooled, which can help you buy at a more favorable entry point today. For a future seller, the key takeaway is that resale value will depend heavily on how well you preserve condition and how much the market rebounds by the time you trade in or sell. If you buy smart now and keep the vehicle clean and well maintained, you’ll be in a better position to protect value later.
Should I buy a 2025 Toyota Highlander or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2025 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2025 if:
- 33.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is excellent at 92.1% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 10.78% compared with last year.
The bottom line: The 2025 Highlander is the primary path if you want a well-rounded midsize SUV with strong practicality, a comfortable ride, and a market that currently offers meaningful deal potential. If you’re especially price-sensitive, a nearby model year may be worth comparing, but the 2025 gives you a good balance of inventory, condition, and softened pricing.
