The Hybrid version of the Highlander is available in the LE, XLE, Limited, and Limited Platinum trims. Here is some more information on what this SUV has to offer.
Excellent Fuel Economy
The Highlander Hybrid comes with a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that is paired to three electric motors to produce 306 horsepower. This engine, which comes standard with an all-wheel-drive system, delivers remarkable fuel efficiency for a three-row SUV. Its estimated fuel consumption is rated at 30 mpg city and 28 mpg highway, which has earned it a Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) rating.
Comfortable Interior
The cabin of the Hybrid is perfect for big families, as it can seat up to eight passengers comfortably. It also offers a versatile passenger and cargo area with its 60/40 split-folding third-row bench seat, which can recline when passengers want to rest. An available height-adjustable power liftgate is convenient, as it makes for effortless loading and unloading of cargo.
The Hybrid features silencing insulation materials in its cabin, as well as a windshield constructed from acoustic-type glass, to afford you a quiet and peaceful ride. Available interior features that will ensure you and your passengers an even more comfortable ride include second-row sunshades, three-zone automatic climate control, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, ambient lighting, leather upholstery, driver-seat memory, a rear cargo cover, and a heated steering wheel.
Modern Technology
The Hybrid comes with loads of modern tech. If you opt for all the available features, your Entune infotainment system will include an 8.1-inch screen, Bluetooth, integrated navigation, SiriusXM, HD radio, and a 12-speaker JBL sound system.
An available rear-seat entertainment system, featuring a Blu-Ray player, two wireless headsets, and a 9-inch display, is also on offer with the Hybrid. Another innovative available feature included with the Hybrid is the Driver Easy Speak system, which allows the driver to communicate with passengers in the rear through a built-in microphone that sends sound to the back speakers.
With the Hybrid model also comes a Hybrid Energy monitor, which will provide you with information regarding energy saving and usage. You can access data regarding system charging, electric power consumption, and whether your Hybrid is running off the gasoline engine, electric motor, or both.
Advanced Safety Features
The Hybrid comes with impressive driver-assist features that are included as standard equipment across all trims, such as the Toyota Safety Sense suite that includes lane-departure alert with steering assist, dynamic radar cruise control, a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, and automatic high beams. The XLE trim adds a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert system. An available bird’s-eye view camera will provide you with a 360-degree view of your surroundings when you’re parked.
