The New Toyota Highlander Hybrid
Add a Comment
In my last article, I discussed the new and improved Subaru Forester
as a contender rather than just a pretender. With its new Forester,
Subaru
and provide
the last model.
With gas prices still way above what drivers would like, the Forester’s
28 miles per gallon on the highway is reasonable, but what if you need
a larger SUV? One vehicle to consider is the newly redesigned Toyota
Highlander Hybrid.

The 2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid
The Highlander is
now a larger vehicle
when compared to
the previous model.
Edmunds.com says
that the Highlander
is clearly the most
practical hybrid SUV
on the market and
that it is a functional
family vehicle that
has the best
gas mileage of any crossover its size.
This new Hybrid has a 3.3 liter gasoline engine rated at 208 horsepower and two electric motors, one up front and one in the back, providing a combined 270 horsepower. This gives this Hybrid usable power on mountain inclines or for passing on the highway. This hybrid

The interior is a nice place to spend time
The interior
of the Highlander
Hybrid is well
designed and
functional. It is
available with a
third-row seat.
The second row
seat is a 40/20/40
split-design including
a “center stow” feature which allows the middle 20 percent of the
seat to stow flat into the floor allowing easy walk through to the
third row seat.
Families that have a need for even larger SUVs or minivans will still prefer vehicles such as the GMC Arcadia or the Mazda CX-9. However, for environmentally concerned families, the seven-passenger Toyota Highlander Hybrid is one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles on the market. Expect to get about 27 miles per gallon in the city and Toyota's reputation of reliability. This Highlander will start at $33,700.
