Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Toyota Highlander than in the Toyota bZ4X, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Toyota Highlander offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Toyota bZ4X, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.
