Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

The 2010 Highlander's exterior, redesigned in 2008, is perceived as bland at best -- failing to receive much in the way of either criticism or compliments. 

  • "The Highlander has an anonymous look that Hyundai's vehicles are notorious for." -- Automobile Magazine
  • "With its creased headlights, flashy grille and characterless bumper, the Highlander seems a bit too slick -- like a convenience store shopper who won't take off his sunglasses." -- Cars.com
  • "When it comes to exterior styling, the new Highlander is an odd assembly of influences." -- CNET
  • "From the outside, the new Highlander has matured. The previous generation's nondescript exterior was as exciting as a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Now, it's vanilla with sprinkles. No Sanders hot fudge just yet, but it's better." -- Detroit News
