The new Toyota Highlander Hybrid is a three-row midsize SUV with a 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain rated at 243 net combined horsepower and a manufacturer-estimated rating of up to 36 combined mpg, seating for up to eight and available Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive. It is a self-charging hybrid, so there is nothing to plug in, and Toyota Safety Sense is standard. It is one of the most efficient ways to move a family of seven or eight.

How Much Can a Hybrid Save on a Three-Row SUV?
A three-row SUV spends a lot of its life in short trips: school drop-off, errands, practice pickup. That is exactly where a hybrid is most efficient, because the electric motors handle low-speed driving and regenerative braking recovers energy at every stop sign. With a manufacturer-estimated rating of up to 36 combined mpg, the Highlander Hybrid can use far less fuel than a comparable gas SUV over a year of South Bay driving.
Which Highlander Hybrid Grade Should You Compare?
The hybrid is offered across the same grade ladder as the gas model:
- Hybrid LE and XLE: the practical grades with the highest estimated fuel economy
- Hybrid XSE: sport styling and 20-inch wheels
- Hybrid Limited and Platinum: leather-trimmed seating, a JBL audio system, a 12.3-inch touchscreen and, on Platinum, a panoramic roof and head-up display
All-wheel drive is available on every grade. Check the drivetrain and seating configuration on each listing.
How Does the Highlander Hybrid Compare With the Gas Highlander?
The gas Highlander uses a turbocharged engine with more torque and a higher tow rating. The hybrid gives up some of that pulling power for a large gain in estimated fuel economy and a quieter, smoother feel in traffic. Both share the same cabin, seating options and safety suite. If you tow a trailer regularly, lean gas. If you spend your miles on surface streets, lean hybrid.
Should You Look at the Grand Highlander Hybrid?
The Grand Highlander Hybrid offers the same 2.5-liter hybrid system in a larger body with a roomier third row and more cargo space, plus an available Hybrid MAX powertrain with far more power. The Highlander Hybrid is smaller, easier to park and less expensive. If adults will ride in the third row regularly, compare the Grand Highlander Hybrid. If you want the most manageable size, stay here.
