My 2016 had the parking sensors on the back only. They added them to the front on the 2017 refresh, so my 2019 has them front and back. I believe the 2020 also has both front and back.

My mom is still in the market to buy something to replace her 2001 Highlander. She liked the 2019 Highlander but she'll want to look at the new one just to make sure she makes the right choice - although I have to say I watched the video and I'm not overly impressed with the interior. I'll hold final judgement until seeing it in person, though. Today I had the chance to swing by a nearby Hyundai dealership to see the Palisade and have to say I was really impressed by the fit & finish. That's a really nice interior - I couldn't find anything I didn't like. Very impressive all around - I'm going to get her to look at that and it will give me a chance to drive/ride in one. From a luxury feeling, the Palisade blows away the Highlander IMO.. and they're priced basically the same at the Limited trim.

the 2020 highlander is a nice vehicle from the looks and specs of it. BUT the interior still seems pretty 'average' in materials, finishes, etc. from the TFL quick drive the car seemed VERY quiet which is really nice, but i understand the Palisade is pretty quiet too. The Palisade interior though seems to blow the doors off anything else in its range.

I've driven the 2019 Highlander so I'm mainly comparing what I see in the video of this thread and pics on Toyota's website of the 2020 and thinking it looks relatively similar in materials used in the 2019. The Palisade is on a totally different level. For the Palisade and Highlander to be the same MSRP is pretty staggering (although I haven't driven the Palisade yet). If I were shopping, and assuming ride quality was equivalent between the two, I'd buy the Palisade hands down. I prefer the exterior styling, the interior is way nicer, and I think it comes with some bells and whistles not offered at any trim of Toyota.

Nothing in the Toyota stable can match the Palisade or Telluride interiors. It's not even in the same league. The only advantage I can think of for the highlander is the powertrain as highlanders generally have some nice pickup from the engine.
