Toyota Highlander vs. Saturn OUTLOOK Review

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. The Toyota Highlander is substantially cheaper to get to the dealership than the Outlook. When it comes to fuel economy, the Toyota Highlander is a tad better than the Saturn Outlook, but not by much. Producing an accurate fuel economy evaluation is so difficult that some think not even the federal government can do it, but it looks as though both the Saturn Outlook and the Saturn Outlook perform about comparably with respect to fuel economy. The Saturn Outlook isn't much costlier than the Toyota Highlander with respect to MSRP.

Utility
The Saturn Outlook's more sizeable trunk will accommodate more massive objects than the Toyota Highlander. The Saturn Outlook will indubitably prove handier than the Toyota for those of you with frequent child-cargo. There's no clear winner between the Toyota Highlander and the Saturn Outlook in terms of hauling capacity. Towing is considerably more the Saturn Outlook's forte than it is the Toyota Highlander's.

Convenience
You'll very likely have to take the Toyota Highlander for a fill-up more often than the Saturn Outlook because of its tank size and fuel economy.

The Saturn Outlook's longer wheelbase will likely result in a smoother, more stable ride; on the other hand, the Toyota Highlander may give a nimbler feel in daily traffic.

Performance
Regarding horsepower, the Saturn Outlook packs quite a wallop and will knock the Highlander down a few rungs. On the flip side, keep in mind that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.
