The Toyota Highlander is one of the most popular three-row SUVs in Western New York, and for good reason. It seats up to eight, offers AWD on most models, and has a long record of holding its value. Used Highlanders also come in both gas and hybrid versions, so you can choose between more power for towing or better fuel economy for daily commuting. The live inventory below shows every used Highlander available at West Herr Toyota of Rochester and West Herr Toyota of Canandaigua.
The search above includes used and certified pre-owned inventory from every West Herr location, not just our Rochester-area stores. West Herr shares inventory across all 40 dealerships, so a used Highlander at a store in Buffalo or Syracuse can typically be transferred to your nearest Rochester-area Toyota store by the next day, at no cost and with no obligation to purchase.
The current Highlander rides on Toyota’s TNGA-K platform and is the generation most shoppers find on the used market today. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard on every model, and Toyota Safety Sense comes standard. Gas models from 2020 to 2022 use a 295-horsepower 3.5L V6. For 2023, Toyota replaced the V6 with a 2.4L turbocharged four-cylinder making 265 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. The Highlander Hybrid uses a 2.5L four-cylinder hybrid system rated around 35 mpg combined. For the 2026 model year, AWD is standard on every gas trim.
Third-generation Highlanders made three rows of seating standard and remain a strong choice for budget-minded families. Most use a 3.5L V6, and a 2017 update added a 295-horsepower V6 with an 8-speed automatic and made Toyota Safety Sense P standard. A V6 hybrid with AWD was also offered. Factory Apple CarPlay was not available in this generation, so plan on an aftermarket solution if you want it.
Need even more room? Toyota added the larger Grand Highlander for 2024. You can find it in our used Toyota inventory as well.
Hybrid versions are offered across much of the lineup. Third-generation models use slightly different trim names, including LE Plus, SE and Limited Platinum.
Lake-effect snow is part of life in Monroe County, and the Highlander is ready for it. Gas models offer AWD that can send torque to the rear wheels, and Limited and Platinum trims add Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD, which can also split power between the left and right rear wheels. Gas Highlanders include a Snow drive mode. The Hybrid uses Electronic On-Demand AWD, with an electric motor driving the rear wheels when extra traction is needed. Ground clearance is about 8 inches, enough for unplowed side streets and driveway drifts.

It depends on your budget and priorities. The 2020 to 2026 generation offers the most modern technology, including standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the largest used selection. Buyers who want the V6 should look at 2020 to 2022 models, since 2023 and newer gas Highlanders use a turbocharged four-cylinder. The 2017 to 2019 models are a strong value choice with the updated 295-horsepower V6 and standard Toyota Safety Sense P.
The Highlander Hybrid typically costs more upfront but delivers around 35 mpg combined on the 2020 and newer generation, well above the gas models. Drivers with long commutes tend to recover the difference through fuel savings. Gas models offer more towing capacity and a Snow drive mode, which some Rochester drivers prefer.
Most 2020 to 2023 Highlanders fall roughly between $23,000 and $42,000, depending on model year, trim, hybrid or gas powertrain, and mileage. Older third-generation models are often available below that range. Current pricing for every vehicle is shown in the live inventory on this page, since it changes daily.
