Review and Picture 2005 Toyota Highlander Hybrid

New Auto Review

The 2008 Highlander drives like a car but has a good high seating position. I was surprised by the amount of power I get from the V6 engine. Loaded with 5 adults and 2 children it didn’t hesitate on hills at all. Very comfortable inside. Love the automatic rear door. Mileage has been about 21-22 MPG in mixed 70% freeway and 30% city driving. Interior cargo room is adequate with the third row folded though I have a Yakima roof box for long trips or when using all three rows. That was my trade off for not getting a Suburban for the few times I really needed the extra space inside. Ride is a little soft but that may be because I was used to a truck and 15 MPG.

Favorite Features

Very comfortable. Serious Horsepower. Sweet gas mileage. My wife and I argue over who gets to drive it.

Suggested Improvements Toyota Highlander Hybrid

So far I’m totally satisfied, I have no outstanding issues. The tow package is misleading being you need to purchase a wiring kit. Toyota Highlander Hybrid Photos
