2016 Toyota Highlander value
By Hari Vinayak · Updated 2026-06-12
Quick answer
A 2016 Toyota Highlander in good condition with average mileage (about 125,000 miles) is worth roughly $12,700 in a private-party sale — a fair range of $11,700 to $13,700, or about $14,600 at a dealer. 2016 is not on our years-to-avoid list, so condition, history, and maintenance matter more than the model year here.

Compare the best and worst Highlander yearsWhat to check before you pay
- 2008–2013 V6: rubber oil cooler line can rupture and dump oil — check for the updated metal line and any oil loss history
- 2GR-FE V6 water pump weeps coolant with age — look for pink crust around the pump and front of the engine
- 2017–2019 8-speed automatic: low-speed hesitation and clunky shifts — test drive in stop-and-go; software updates improved it
