Towing Capacity and Power
The Highlander Hybrid effortlessly tows 3,500 lbs, powered by a 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine and either two or three electric motors, depending on the drivetrain. The SUV’s all-wheel drive (AWD) system is propelled by two electric motors at the front and one at the rear, combining with the engine to produce 243 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. Meanwhile, the front-wheel drive (FWD) configuration uses two electric motors to generate the same power output.
Safety Technology
To ensure your safety when towing a loaded trailer, the Highlander Hybrid is equipped with a standard backup camera, an available 360-degree panoramic view monitor, blind spot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking. The SUV also features Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+, which adds safety and convenience technologies such as adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning with steering assist, and pedestrian detection.
EPA-Estimated Fuel Economy
Stellar fuel economy is part of the package when you choose the Highlander Hybrid. The SUV achieves an EPA-estimated 35 mpg city and highway in its AWD configuration; meanwhile, the FWD hybrid drives slightly further, delivering a fuel economy of 36 mpg city and 35 mpg highway. The excellent city fuel economy ratings are attributed to Toyota’s hybrid technology, which utilizes electric motors to perform most of the work in low-speed city driving.
You can also completely turn off fuel consumption by switching to EV mode. The Highlander Hybrid can cover short distances emission-free until the high-voltage battery runs out of charge.
Cargo Capacity and Cabin Space
There is plenty of space inside the Highlander Hybrid to fit whatever doesn’t go on a trailer. Opening the liftgate reveals 16 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the third-row seats, which can be expanded to 48.4 cubic feet with the seats folded. If you need more space, you can fold the second-row seats to gain access to an impressive 84.3 cubic feet.
The Highlander Hybrid seats up to eight, making it perfect for a large family. The driver and front passenger enjoy 42.0 inches of legroom, while second-row passengers get 38.7 inches. If you have younger children, they will comfortably fit in the 28 inches of legroom offered in the third row.
