Styling is always subjective, but when the Highlander was redesigned for 2020 some elements got a little too exaggerated, like the big-maw grille with enormous winged badge, and the thick haunches over the rear wheels, which remind me of a bodybuilder’s exaggerated thigh. That’s offset by rear styling that’s more interesting than before, including ...
The Highlander earned the top five stars from the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), while the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gave it the highest Top Safety Pick+ designation. All trim levels include blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert (the Limited trim will brake for it if necessary...
All Highlander Hybrid models include tri-zone automatic climate control, power-adjustable heated front seats, a power tailgate, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and automatic LED headlights. The mid-range XLE also adds a sunroof, auto-dimming mirror, and remote starter. At my Limited level, there’s a wireless charger, rearview mirror video display, ...
The tablet-style infotainment system is split-screen, and you can bring up three functions at a time, such as stereo, navigation, and climate. That climate system is also accessed with buttons below (as is radio volume/tuning, but these knobs have surprisingly sharp inner edges), but while there’s a toggle for the fan speed, there’s none for the ve...
As with most three-row sport-utilities, the Highlander Hybrid is most practical in the first and second sets of seats. Small-item storage up front is good, including two trays molded into the dash, including one with a pass-through to store your phone above and then snake the cord to the outlets below. At 453 L of cargo volume with the third row up...
As with most three-rows, you’re better off sitting ahead and letting the young ones bring up the rear. This third row is only raised slightly above the floor, so you’re sitting with your chin on your knees. It’s a squeeze to get back there, and one benefit with the captain’s chairs is that you can easily get in and then walk between them to the thi...
The Highlander uses a 2.5L four-cylinder that makes 186 hp and 175 lb-ft of torque, and when it’s combined with the trio of electric motors, you get a total of 243 hp. It’s mated to an automatic continuously variable transmission (CVT) and drives the front wheels. When all-wheel is needed for extra traction, an electric motor powers the rear wheels...
The Highlander Hybrid is a very pleasant vehicle to drive. It’s not quite as quick to move over to electric power as the smaller Toyota Priusis, but then it’s also larger and heavier. There’s an EV mode button, but it’s rather pointless – it puts the system into electric-only operation at low speeds, but it’ll do that on its own anyway, and it deac...
The Highlander Hybrid is officially rated by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) at 6.6 L/100 km in the city; 6.8 on the highway; and 6.7 in combined driving. In my week with it, including a long highway trip – where hybrids don’t get their best mileage because they can’t run on the battery as much – I still hit right on the dot at 6.7 L/100 km. The H...
The Highlander Hybrid runs from $47,790 to $58,290, but it’s hard to cross-shop it head-to-head because there isn’t much else in the three-row all-wheel hybrid category. The Ford Explorer qualifies for both, but only as an upgrade on the Limited trim, where it’s $55,929 with freight but before tax. The Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid undercuts the Highland...
