Toyota Highlander Hybrid generates as much as 306 hybrid system net horsepower, with up to an EPA-estimated 30 mpg city. Constantly having to search for a fuel pump is a thing of the past, and we didn’t have to sacrifice power or performance in the process. It has up to 3500 lbs. of towing power and is equipped with the capability of Electronic On-Demand AWD system with intelligence (AWD-i). It’s time to start expecting more from every drive.

ECO MODE, EV MODE: In ECO Mode, Toyota Highlander Hybrid modifies throttle response to help with fuel economy and can also help when you’re slowly accelerating on low-traction surfaces such as snow or ice. EV Mode uses only the electric motor for situations where you’re driving at low speeds for short distances, such as in a parking garage.
