I probably would have bought the 2019 Highlander already if not for the uncomfortable driver's seat. I'm tall, 6'5", and between the low roofline (esp. With moonroof), short range on the telescoping steering wheel, hard leather seats at the Sport trim I tested, and 2-way lumbar support that just digs into my back, I couldn't get comfortable. I would love to hear impressions from people who see the 2020 about how the new driver's seat compares (the Highlander won't be out near me for a few more months)

Thanks!

The headroom specs going from 2019 to 2020 are pretty much the same, so your feeling about the roofline probably won't improve.

It is possible to purchase a mounting kit (at least for the 2nd gen) to move the seats back a bit to give more leg room. Won't help with head room entering the vehicle though.

I'm in the same boat. Didn't like the feel of the '19 and really hoping the '20 is better but it doesn't look like it on paper. The Palisade fits me pretty well and still leaves good leg room for second row behind me. I'll wait to try it out but at least there's a plan p.

I think the Roman guy at TFL reviews is 6ft 4". Might wanna check out his review or impression and see how he fits.

I heard him say that he's 6'2" for reference.

I am 6.4 and have owned both 2019 and now own a 2020. The 2020 seems a little more comfortable to me. The seats are a little nicer and have a little more foam.

I am 6'2, and found the seats very comfortable on the test drive with the 2020 Highlander Limited. Enough leg room as well...no problem. In fact, this is an important issue for me as well to have comfortable seats, leg room, and head room. The only problem I had was getting the driver's door shut...took three tries....this was also several person's issue. Not sure what's up with that.

Not all tall people have the same problems, even if they are the same height. Some have longer torso's and shorter legs, and some have a shorter torso and longer legs. So one cannot go by height alone.

Yes...I meant to add that as well.....I'm one of the shorter leg bunch at 6'2. It does make a difference !

I am 6'4 as well with a 36 inch inseam....size 14 shoe. The specs on the 2020 show a slightly less inches in legroom than previous models. 43.2 down to 42.
Anyone notice the difference?

 

[Hawk7]

I'm 6'5" as well and st in a 2020 Limited yesterday. I did not have a problem, though my torso is not particularly long or short.... very average-ish. I know the sunroof causes a loss of like an inch or two, but I did not feel like it impacted the cabin height or that I was hitting my head. Granted, I just sat in the thing... got in/out once or twice and did not test drive it.

Also, the captain's chair on the passenger side fit me fine.

 

[Too tall]

Well I'm 6'11 4X tall t-shirt 38 pants 16 shoes. I'd like a hybrid. I'm tired of driving three quarter ton because of height. Even if I have to modify the center council over. I'll buy the damn thing out right

 

[SeanCLV]

When I bought my 2020 Highlander, I went out of my way to buy a model without a sunroof due to my height. This meant me buying a lower trim level than I really wanted, but I am still happy with my decision, and lower car payment.

 

[SmoothRunnings]

I used to have a 2020 Platinum...but now I have a 2022 Platinum (dealership upgraded me for less). I am 6'7" tall. And the only thing I didn't find comfortable with my 2020 was the seat. After driving for a few hours my tail bone would start to hurt. In my 2022 I don't have that problem. The sun roof doesn't bother me, I still have lots a clearance.

You know you can lower your drivers seat down right?

 

[Liquidm17]

I am 6'5" and drove our 2021 XSE from Fort Lauderdale to North Georgia with no issues. Granted my car is an Infiniti Q50 which sets the bar on space rather low. Overall I have been very impressed & comfortable with the Highlander and if we didn't already have one I would buy one. I even offered to take the Highlander and let my wife take my car or trade it in for something else. That was met with a blunt NO, lol

Best advice would be to rent one if you can. We did that with a 4Runner, Rav4 and Audi Q5.
