Make Manhattan Beach Toyota Your Choice for Test Driving a New Highlander Hybrid

Toyota Highlander Hybrid in Torrance

The 2009 Highlander Hybrid is a great option for those drivers who need plenty of passenger space and great fuel economy. The Highlander Hybrid features a gasoline-electrice powertrain and can be driven on a combination of gasoline and electric or one or the other. It exhibits its most stunning fuel saving abilities in the city, where it can run on only electric power in stop and go traffic. Caranddriver.com commented that the combination drivetrain "works unobtrusively and is largely transparent in most situations." You'll be saving fuel to the tune of 27 MPG city and 25 MPG highway. With 150 cubic feet of interior space, your passengers will have room to spread out in. Additionally, there's no need to plug it in, since the gasoline engine and brake friction replace energy lost by the electric motor. Horsepower (209) hasn't suffered too much of a loss either when you compare the Hybrid to the original Highlander. Electronic On-Demand 4-wheel drive with intelligence also comes standard.

Every new Highlander Hybrid is stylishly accented with a silver-painted grille, color-keyed foldable power outside mirrors, blue-tinted headlamp and taillamp bezels, chrome door handles, and a unique Hybrid grille with a chrome surround. The proof is in the picture! The new Highlander Hybrid also includes those super convenient exterior elements, like washer-linked variable intermittent windshield wipers, a UV reduction glass windshield, an in-glass antenna with FM diversity reception, and a rear window electric defogger and intermittent wiper. You'll also be glad to know that every new Hybrid comes with the Cold Weather Package, which includes a windshield de-icer grid and heated power outside mirrors. But what fun is going places if you can't take all of your stuff with you? That's why the Highlander Hybrid comes standard with the Hybrid Towing Prep Package which includes a 3500-lb. towing capacity, heavy-duty radiator, 240-watt fan coupling, a transmission oil cooler with a water cooler and a prewired harness.

The luxurious interior includes features like front defroster-linked CFC-free air conditioning with an air filter, an auxiliary audio jack, power windows with driver auto up/down, power door locks, a remote keyless entry system and a Smart Key System that includes push button start and remote illuminated entry (if you have a pace maker check with your doctor before activating the Smart Key System). Each new Highlander Hybrid also includes a tilt/telescopic adjustable steering leather wheel with audio and multi-information display controls. There's still more awesome interior features to talk about, like the center console with six cup holder, cruise control, and 3.5-inch multi-function display that includes a backup monitor for making backing up easier.

With all of the safety equipment that comes standard on the new Highlander Hybrid its little wonder that it received 5 stars for the driver and 4 stars for the passenger in frontal crash tests and 5 stars for both driver and passenger for side crash tests conducted by the government. The 2009 Highlander Hybrid comes with the Star Safety System with Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management which is an electronic system designed to help the driver maintain vehicle control under adverse conditions. It includes Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control, Anti-lock Brakes, Electronic Brake-force Distribution, and Brake Assist. Keeping you and your passengers safe and secure will come easy to this vehicle since it includes a whole fleet of air bags, including a driver and front passenger Advanced Airbag System, driver and front passenger front seat-mounted side airbags, a driver's knee airbag, and three-row roll-sensing side curtain airbags. The safety doesn't end there, there's also the Hill Start Assist Control, active headrests to help prevent whiplash, 3-point belts on all seating positions, tire pressure monitoring system, engine immobilizer and child-protector rear door locks to consider.
