2015 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Review
Posted on April 27, 2015
The 2015 Toyota Highlander Hybrid is a family vehicle equally focused on comfort and convenience to keep you and your passengers happy and being eco-friendly. With Toyota's hybrid synergy drive, the system never requires plugging in to stay charged and ready to go. The Highlander Hybrid comes in three trim levels: LE, XLE and Limited.
Style and Comfort Come Together
Enjoy plenty of room inside the 2015 Toyota Highlander Hybrid with seating for eight in the LE and XLE or seating for seven in the Limited. The Limited features captain's chairs in the first and second rows while the other models offer bench seating in the second row that reclines for added comfort. Convenient storage surrounds you in unexpected places like the in-dash shelf or the roll-top centre console that has two storage areas, including one with USB ports for charging devices. A tilt and slide panoramic moonroof opens up the interior even more. All trim levels include heated seats with the Limited adding ventilation. Relax on your trip with the 8-way power adjustable driver's seat with lumbar support. Everyone can get comfortable with the three-zone automatic climate control and humidity sensor. Enjoy the latest technology with either a 6.1-inch or 8-inch touchscreen display with Bluetooth® capability and advanced voice recognition. Both the XLE and Limited models feature EasySpeak that allows the driver to communicate with the other rows with ease. The Highlander Hybrid also features keyless entry, power doors and windows, push-button start and a backup camera.
A large grille adds a distinctive look to the 2015 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. Sleek lines draw attention to this SUV while the integrated roof rails are a practical touch for storage while providing optimal aerodynamics. Enjoy effortless loading and unloading with the power rear liftgate that comes with memory height settings. The liftgate also features a flip-up window to reach items without opening the door. Stylish wheels add a sophisticated touch with 19" Chromtec for the Limited, aluminum alloy for the XLE and aluminum for the LE. Every model proudly displays its hybrid title with emblems and the HSD badge.
Efficient Power
A perfect combination of power and efficiency, the 2015 Toyota Highlander Hybrid features the latest in performance technology. This outstanding capability is achieved with the 3.5L Atkinson Cycle engine and an electric motor generator. Using less fuel than the gas model, this SUV provides 10 more rated horsepower. Go wherever you want to go with the AWD with intelligence that automatically switches to all-wheel when you need it. Choose the ECO mode when you want optimal efficiency or the EV mode to use only electric power in low speeds.
