CarGurus Analysis: 2023 Toyota Highlander

Summary
With 287 currently listed for sale and an average price of $34,462, 38.7% 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.

| Metric | Value |
|---|---|

| Year-Round Low | $34,298 |
| Year-Round High | $36,464 |
| Average Price a Year Ago | $36,439 |

There are 4,126 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for shoppers comparing trims and prices.
Is the 2023 Toyota Highlander a good car?
Yes — the 4.75/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction, and the 2023 Highlander fits well if you want a practical midsize SUV that prioritizes comfort and versatility over excitement. It offers strong utility, up to 84.3 cubic feet of cargo space with the seats folded down, and standard tech like an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa. It also makes sense if you want a family SUV with available hybrid efficiency and a safety-focused setup. 36.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.
Is the 2023 Toyota Highlander reliable?
Owners rate it 4.75/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The 2023 Highlander’s overview emphasizes reliability, comfort, and everyday usefulness, along with a strong safety reputation. It is built for buyers who want a dependable family SUV that handles commuting, errands, and road trips without much drama. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about complexity and more about making sure the specific vehicle has been maintained well and hasn’t been worn down by family-duty mileage.
What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Toyota Highlander?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should still review the history report carefully, because accident-free status is only one part of the picture. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that checks the brakes, tires, suspension, and cabin condition, since family SUVs often show wear in those areas first. Focus on how well the vehicle has been maintained and whether the interior, cargo area, and electronics match the mileage and asking price.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Toyota Highlander?
This is a moderate buyer’s market, so you can be selective without expecting deep discounts on every listing.
- Deal availability: 36.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 4,126 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 3.55% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 84.8% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $34,298, 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 $35,146 sits slightly below last year's $36,439.
That price movement suggests the market has cooled a bit, which can help you buy more confidently now if you plan to keep the vehicle for several years. For a future seller, the current softness means resale value may depend more on condition, mileage, and maintenance history than on market momentum alone. Well-kept examples should still hold appeal because the Highlander remains a practical, family-friendly SUV with broad shopper demand.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.75/5, 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:
- 36.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 3.55% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.75/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2022 if:
- At $32,145, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $35,146 average.
- It emphasizes the basics buyers need most.
The bottom line: If you want the newer model year with a softer market and strong owner satisfaction, the 2023 is the better all-around pick. If your priority is saving money upfront, the 2022 is the smarter secondary path, especially if you find one in excellent condition with a clean history.
