Introduction

Most of the qualities that make the conventional Highlander such a good choice carry over to the Hybrid. Its 3.5-liter V6 returns an impressive 26 mpg overall, the best of any SUV. The full hybrid system allows the SUV to propel itself solely on electric power at low speeds. Handling is sound and secure, but not particularly agile and the steering feels vague. It has roomy second-row seats and a tight but usable, third-row seat. The easy-to-use controls and very good fit and finish make the interior pleasant, and cabin access is easy. The fuel savings might not justify the extra cost of the Hybrid for some. A longer and wider redesign arrives in early 2014.
