About This 2022 Toyota Highlander XSE

This 2022 Highlander XSE carries 67,340 miles, which puts it squarely in the sweet spot for a used three-row SUV — enough miles to be priced well below new, but well within the range where Toyota's famously durable drivetrain is just getting broken in. The clean white exterior gives it a bold, contemporary look, and the XSE trim adds sport-specific styling touches that set it apart from standard Highlander grades. If you're looking for a used Toyota Highlander in Chowchilla and Madera County that turns heads while still hauling the whole family, this is the one.

2022 Toyota Highlander XSE Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits Toyota's 3.5L V6 DOHC engine, one of the most respected powerplants in its class. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and full all-wheel drive, this setup delivers confident, responsive acceleration for everyday commutes and weekend getaways alike. The V6 produces smooth, linear power across the rev range — no turbo lag, no fuss — just reliable thrust when you need to merge on Highway 99 or climb into the Sierra Nevada foothills.

The XSE trim specifically adds a sport-tuned suspension compared to base Highlander grades, giving the steering a slightly sharper feel without sacrificing the composed, comfortable ride Central Valley families depend on. AWD adds real peace of mind during winter mountain drives toward Bass Lake or Yosemite.

Toyota Highlander XSE Features and Interior

The Highlander XSE is built around a driver-focused interior with sport-accented trim, an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and a premium audio system. Three rows of seating accommodate up to eight passengers, and the second-row captain's chairs available in this generation make rear-seat access genuinely easy. Toyota's standard safety suite — Toyota Safety Sense — comes included, covering pre-collision warning, lane departure alert, automatic high beams, and adaptive cruise control.

The XSE also distinguishes itself with unique black sport mesh grille styling, gloss black exterior trim, and sport-bolstered front seats that give the cabin a more dynamic feel without sacrificing comfort on longer drives.

Toyota Highlander Reliability and Ownership

Toyota Highlanders consistently rank among the most reliable three-row SUVs on the market. The third-generation Highlander — which includes this 2022 model — has earned strong scores from both J.D. Power and Consumer Reports, with owners frequently praising the low cost of ownership and minimal unexpected repairs. The 3.5L V6 engine has an excellent track record for longevity, commonly reaching 200,000-plus miles with routine maintenance.

Owners report that the Highlander rewards basic upkeep: regular oil changes, tire rotations, and fluid checks are really all it takes to keep one of these SUVs running strong for years. For families in Chowchilla and throughout Madera County who put real miles on their vehicles, that kind of dependability matters.
