For info: Comparison to Toyota Highlander

[Stephen29]

Just out of interest, been reading up on the Toyota Highlander
Also 2.5 Hybrid with 7 seats
But of course more expensive
https://www.carwow.co.uk/toyota/highlander

Haven't checked or compared external dimensions yet

Similar powertrain

"Total combined power is 244hp, giving the heavy Highlander leisurely rather than electrifying performance. The electric assistance helps it get off the line without trouble, and it feels at its best at lower speeds where the unobtrusive CVT automatic gearbox keeps the engine humming away in the background. The 0-62mph sprint is over in 8.3 seconds accompanied by a loud mooing noise from the engine bay thanks to that CVT gearbox.

-- I know that sound well !

Overall performance is behind what you can expect from an entry-level Land Rover Discovery or Audi Q7, but matches up well to the all-wheel-drive 265hp self-charging hybrid powertrain offered in the Hyundai Santa-Fe. The Highlander can manage up to 37.7mpg in mixed driving, slightly better than the Audi and Land Rover, and once again on par with the Hyundai."

External dimensions 4,966 mm long, 1,930 mm wide     so is a bit bigger [which is a disadvantage in for me]
compared to Estima Hybrid (approx) 4820 by 1810

 

[APS]

The Highlander is a really nice car. Where it falls short compared to similar SUVs is if you try to use it for typical 4x4 tasks like towing. It is only allowed to tow 2000 kg, which is no more than many two wheel drive estates. This is to be compared to several other competitors that can pull up to the maximum 3500 kg (Q7/Tuareg, Discovery, RangeR, X5... ). 

That said, this is probably still better than the Estima.

says the 3rd row isnt too good  -- whereas the Estima 3rd row of course is great (or pretty good), and the reason most of us have one.
