Toyota Highlander Hybrid

The fourth-generation Highlander retains its qualities of a comfortable ride and a smooth powertrain. Handling is sound and secure. Interior fit and finish is upgraded, particularly in higher-trim versions. The hybrid version is less powerful than the previous generation but gets an excellent 35 mpg. Both seven- and eight-passenger seating configurations are available. Either way, the second row is very roomy, but the third row is tiny. The controls are easy to use, and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility is standard. The Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 suite includes standard AEB with pedestrian detection and FCW. BSW and RCTW are standard on all versions except the base trim.
