The Highlander is an awkward car to mount a phone in. The 4th-gen XU70 (2020-2026) has a tablet-style screen sitting proud of the dash that eats the obvious windshield and dash positions, the vents are horizontal slats that most vent clips handle badly, and the Grand Highlander is a different vehicle again with a 12.3-inch display. So the right mount depends on which Highlander you have and where you are willing to attach something. Below are the options that actually fit, grouped from model-specific to universal.

Buying tips
- Identify your Highlander first. The 4th-gen XU70 (2020-2026) usually has an 8-inch or 12.3-inch screen, and the Grand Highlander is a separate, larger vehicle — model-specific mounts are not interchangeable between them.
- Skip CD-slot mounts. Owners consistently report they flex and shake, and most Highlanders from 2020 onward do not have a CD slot at all.
- The Highlander’s horizontal vent slats are a poor match for most vent clips, which are designed for vertical blades. If you want a vent mount, check it grips horizontal slats specifically.
- Screen-side mounts that clip to the display bezel give the best sightline because they put the phone next to the infotainment screen rather than below it.
- If you want wireless charging, plan the cable route before you buy. The tidiest run on the XU70 is from the centre console up the side of the screen housing.
- Magnetic mounts need a MagSafe phone or a metal plate on the case. On heavy phones in thick cases, check the mount’s stated weight limit rather than assuming.
