"The Kelly Blue Book Best Buys of 2015 highlight exceptional vehicles in 12 categories as well as an overall winner. The Toyota Highlander stands tall as the winner in the Midsize SUV category...

Also figuring into [the] decision is the Highlander's standard 8 passenger seating. The Highlander is an IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) Top Safety Pick, and boasts a 5 star overall safety rating from the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), add to that well sorted driving dynamics, high-tech options like lane departure alert and dynamic cruise control, ample cargo space, excellent resale value, and a well established reputation for reliability, and you've got all the ingredients for a Kelly Blue Book Best Buy." — Kelly Blue Book source


It’s hard to beat the Highlander when it comes to crossover SUVs.

So says Kelley Blue Book and their panel of experts, which named the 2015 Highlander the top Midsize SUV category in their first ever Best Buy Awards.

After a year-long process of examining and testing almost every new vehicle on the market in the United States, the people at KBB combined their findings with vehicle pricing, 5-year cost to own data, consumer reviews and sales to figure out that the Highlander was the top new vehicle choice in the segment.



"In a segment filled with excellent alternatives,” KBB wrote, “Toyota’s well-crafted, well-styled and well-sorted Highlander simply does the best job of seamlessly mixing and matching the things that count most into a single, extremely engaging package we deem the standard bearer for its class." source
