The Toyota Highlander hybrid

The Toyota Highlander Hybrid

Updated: Tuesday, June 19, 2007

The Highlander hybrid is a confusing hybrid vehicle to some. The hybrid version of the Highlander, unlike the Prius, was not built to achieve the best fuel economy possible. Instead, the Highlander hybrid was designed to achieve a mixture of SUV power and performance. 

Think of the Highlander hybrid as a powerful 6-cylinder SUV with the fuel economy of a 4-cylinder SUV. For more on fuel economy, check out our Highlander testimonials

Powered by the second-generation version of the Hybrid Synergy Drive technology found in the Toyota Prius, the Highlander Hybrid offers a 3.3-liter V6. This powertrain, combined with an optional third row of seating provides a solid hybrid option for larger families - the only large family hybrid.

Not too shabby for a vehicle that will take you more than 600 miles on a single tank of gas, and is rated a Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV).

All of the options available for the regular Highlander will also be available for the Hybrid, including a navigation system.

The base Highlander hybrid starts at almost $33,000.
