The Highlander represents a self-charging hybrid from Toyota production. It features a small battery that can be charged by either the petrol engine or when the car collects energy normally lost during braking and uses that energy to power an electric motor.
The Highlander comes with a standard V6 engine that serves up a sharp acceleration from rest. It is connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission which provides a smooth ride. When you step your wheel behind the Highlander, it will surge forward from 0-60mph in 7.7s.
The Highlander is quite reliable in fuel economy as the four-wheel-drive has 21/29 mpg city/highway while the all-wheel-drive gets an estimated 20/27 mpg city/highway.
The Highlander offers a pleasant ride to uneven roads and goes around corners with poise giving you a comfortable ride thanks to its spongy suspension that help soak up some minor road imperfections. When properly equipped, the Toyota Highlander can tow up to a maximum of 5,000 pounds.
