Pros
- Comfortable ride — plenty soft to soak up all the road’s imperfections
- Impressively quiet cabin, close to premium crossover levels
- Top trims offer heated and ventilated second and heated third row seats
- XRT Pro trim handles light off-roading duties with ease
Cons
- Skid plate is optional, not standard, on the XRT Pro
- New smoother engine makes slightly less power than before. Why not more?
- The soft ride also delivers underwhelming handling, lots of body roll in the corners
- Significantly less cargo room than the Toyota Grand Highlander and Honda Pilot
