With the Hybrid signing up with the Prius in the line-up, Toyota states it is currently the first automotive maker to supply a complete gasoline/electric crossbreed in both the intermediate SUV and also mid-size automobile sections. The Highlander Crossbreed is powered by a new variation of Toyota's Hybrid Harmony Drive powertrain, specially-tweaked for a midsize SUV. It showcases an electronically-controlled continually variable transmission (CVT) and also on-demand electronic four-wheel-drive. The fuel engine functions perfectly with a high-torque electric drive motor-generator that establishes a peak system outcome equivalent to 268 hp, but with half the fuel intake of a conventionally-powered lorry.

The Highlander is a "full hybrid", suggesting that it could operate in gasoline or electric modes, along with a combination of both. Under regular conditions, the Crossbreed operates in front-wheel-drive setting, and immediately switches over to 4WD when additional traction is needed. The Harmony Drive powertrain powers the front wheels, while an electric motor drives the back ones.

Attributes on the gasoline-only Highlander include CD/cassette gamer with 6 audio speakers, cooling, towel seats, 60/40 split rear bench, power locks with keyless entrance, power windows, floor mats, freight cover, cruise control, 16-inch alloy wheels, privacy glass, heated mirrors, variable intermittent wipers, as well as haze lights. The seven-passenger model adds a third-row bench seat with fold-down seatback. Available options are a Leather Plan, and also a Limited Package that includes a lengthy listing of functions, including leather inside, 17-inch wheels, side as well as curtain air bags and also power sunroof.

The five-passenger Hybrid adds multi-information display screen, LED taillamps and also 17-inch wheels.

The seven-passenger Hybrid comes just in Limited trim, and includes updated CD/cassette with eight audio speakers and also wheel-mounted controls, automatic environment control, auxiliary back heating unit, warmed natural leather seats, outside temperature level gauge, leather-wrapped wheel, incorporated garage door opener, side and curtain airbags, anti-theft system, power sunroof and light control system.

All models use a pleasurable ride, but the seven-passenger variation is that in name only; the 3rd row of seats is confined and ideal primarily for smaller sized children. Unless you're hauling 7 guests regularly, the five-passenger offers extra cargo room without folding down one more row of seats.

The Hybrid is up-to-date modern technology, with a horsepower boost and better gas economic situation than its gasoline-only twin, but a $6,350 premium in base type as well as $6,415 in Limited trim will certainly take a while to pay back at the gas pumps, even with climbing gas costs; purchase this one to save the world, not always your budget.
