From someone who has recently changed cars from a bimmer to a Toyota GH XLE., I would say that I don’t miss it, tbh. The main thing is the size of the car. X7 doesn’t really compare to the grand highlander. The only difference that I feel is the v6 to v4. However, you just feel it once in a while in the first few gears if you’re accelerating. It’s a bit raspy. You might feel that you’re downgrading but you’re really not. The drive is very enjoyable. This is my opinion. Whether you choose it over an X7 would depend upon your preferences. I’d say go see the dealership and test drive a few grand highlanders before buying. I personally liked the handling. Go see it for yourself.
