Eco-Friendly and Completely Functional, the 2009 Toyota Highlander Hybrid.
2009 Toyota Highlander Hybrid
The Toyota Highlander Hybrid is unlike any other family SUV. It's simply the best of both worlds; it offers the convenience of an SUV such as spacious interiors, a sturdy and tough exterior and the MPG of a compact hatchback.And for 2009 it debuts with improved technology to surpass any other Hybrid SUV's performance. In fact it's one of the few Hybrids with enough horsepowe in order to tow. Thanks to 209 horsepower and a towing prep package you'll easily tow anything out of anywhere.
Certainly you can count on out-of-this-world performance thanks to an electronic On-Demand 4-wheel drive with intelligence. Simply tackle any terrain without complications all while achieving up to 27 Highway MPG and 35 City MPG.
The 2009 Highlander has a sturdy exterior that's both functional and appealing. And its design aims to protect and provide an incredible experience to passengers thanks to features like privacy glass on rear side, quarter and tailgate windows; rear window with electric defogger and intermittent wiper; a rold Weather Package that comes with heated power outside mirrors and windshield wiper de-icer grid; and a UV reduction glass windshield. Of course aside from functional, the Highlander is quite the looker thanks to a unique Hybrid grille with chrome surround; a silver-painted grille; chrome door handles; color-keyed foldable power outside mirrors; and a blue-tinted headlamp and taillamp bezels.
The Highlander Hybrid features great driver-friendly features such as cruise control; a tilt/telescopic adjustable steering wheel that's leather-wrapped and comes with audio and multi-information display controls. And your passengers will be able to enjoy CFC air conditioning with air filter; birch wood-grain-style interior trim with silver finish and chrome door handle accents; dual sun visors with vanity mirrors and sliding extensions; six cupholders; second-row seat vents; and storage compartments.
You won't find any other SUV like the Highlander Hybrid. And depending on the type of luxury, convenience and space you're seeking, the Highlander Hybrid comes available in two trim levels. Whether you want to accomodate up to five or seven of your friends and family is up to you.
As far as safety goes, you're totally covered thanks to the standard equipment such as airbags, child-protector rear door locks, seatbelts, and active headrests.

| Driver and front passenger Advanced Airbag System - (All the airbag (AB) systems are Supplemental Restraint Systems. All ABs (if installed) are designed to inflate only under certain conditions and in certain types of severe collisions: frontal and knee ABs typically inflate in frontal collisions; side and side curtain ABs in side collisions; Roll-Sensing Curtain ABs at a severe tilt degree, roll or lateral G-force. In all other accidents, the ABs will not inflate. To decrease the risk of injury from an inflating AB, always wear seatbelts, sit upright in the middle of the seat as far back as possible and do not lean against the door. Do not put objects in front of an AB or around the seatback. Do not use a rearward-facing child seat in any front passenger seat. The force of an inflating AB may cause serious injury or death. See your Owner's Manual for further information/warnings). |
