Features

Highlander Hybrid combines an efficient 3.5-liter V6 and an electric motor to produce 306 hybrid system net horsepower. At the same time, this powertrain offers an impressive EPA-estimated 30 city and 28 highway mpg, which helps give this hybrid SUV a Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) rating.

Optimizing fuel efficiency means making enhancements all over—like the transmission and efficient engine that help to enhance EPA mpg estimates and earn a Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) rating.

Highlander Hybrid's Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive with intelligence (AWD-i) is designed to help make any trek a sure-footed experience, with an electric motor that delivers instant torque to the rear wheels whenever you need more traction.

Some adventures are so big you have to tow them. No problem. Highlander Hybrid can be equipped to tow up to 3500 lbs.

With a total of five USB ports, it’s easy to power up the family road trip. Three USB ports up front and two USB ports in the rear help everyone keep their favorite portable electronic devices plugged in.

Highlander’s roomy interior gives you enough space to seat up to eight people and provides more comfort along the way with reclining third-row seats. Available second-row captain’s chairs help Highlander comfortably seat seven and offer the same great versatility. You can even get heated second-row captain's chairs on the Limited grade with Platinum Package.

Waste no space. We designed the rear suspension of Highlander to create more space in the cargo area for your gear. And since every journey’s different, Highlander is there to adapt. Sometimes you’ve got lots of people, lots of gear or a mix of both. The 60/40 split third-row seat has the ability to fold flat and recline to accommodate your needs.

Part of enjoying the road is to not hear it. Highlander has silencing insulation materials along its floor to help keep things quiet, as well as acoustic-type glass in the windshield to further reduce noise entering the cabin.

In-seat entertainment for everyone. Your passengers have the whole sky to entertain them, thanks to the available panoramic moonroof that is part of the Platinum Package.

Entertaining from the driver's seat is tough. Let the available rear-seat Blu-ray Disc^™ entertainment system help. The 9-in. display screen comes with RCA jacks, remote and two wireless headphones.

Under certain circumstances, Lane Departure Alert (LDA) is designed to detect lane departure on roads with clear markings. LDA only activates when you’re traveling at a speed of 32 mph or faster. When you hear and see the alert, after carefully checking the road around you, you should safely direct your vehicle back to the center of your lane. In addition, Toyota vehicles equipped with Toyota Safety Sense^™ P (TSS-P) and Electronic Power Steering (EPS) include Steering Assist functionality. When it’s activated and senses that you’re unintentionally drifting, the system may automatically make small corrective steering inputs to help keep your vehicle in its lane.

Intended for highways and similar to “constant speed” cruise control, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) lets you drive at a preset speed. DRCC uses vehicle-to-vehicle distance control, which adjusts your speed, to help you maintain a preset distance from vehicles ahead of you that are driving at a slower speed. DRCC uses a front-grille-mounted radar and an in-vehicle camera designed to detect vehicles and their distance. If a driver is traveling slower than you, or within your preset range, DRCC will automatically slow your vehicle down without deactivating cruise control. If DRCC determines you need to slow down more, an audio and visual alert notifies you and brakes are applied. When there’s no longer a vehicle driving slower than your set speed in front of you, DRCC will then accelerate to the preset speed.

Using an in-vehicle camera and radar to help detect a vehicle or a pedestrian in front of you, the Pre-Collision System (PCS) with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD) can help you mitigate or avoid a potential collision. If the system determines that a frontal collision is likely, it prompts you to take action using audio and visual alerts. If you notice the potential collision and apply the brakes, PCS w/PD may apply additional force using Brake Assist. If you don’t brake in time, it may automatically apply the brakes to reduce your speed, helping to minimize the likelihood of a frontal collision or reduce its severity.

Automatic High Beams (AHB) are a safety system designed to help you see more clearly at night—without distracting other drivers. Designed to activate at speeds above 25 mph, AHB rely on an in-vehicle camera to help detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles and taillights of preceding vehicles, then automatically toggle between high and low beams accordingly to provide the appropriate amount of light. By using high beams more frequently, the system may allow earlier detection of pedestrians and obstacles.

The 2019 Highlander features an inspired front fascia with a dynamic front grille and expressive headlights, making for one bold first impression. With a unique grille tailored for each grade, there’s a Highlander that perfectly matches your style.

There's a Highlander Hybrid for every type of family. The comprehensive 2019 lineup includes a hybrid version of Highlander LE, XLE, Limited and Limited Platinum.

Highlander shows off its athletic side with a selection of available alloy wheels. Highlander Limited Platinum adds sophistication with 19-in. 5-spoke Dark Chromtec^® alloy wheels.

Highlander’s available Bird’s Eye View Camera helps you see nearby objects and get in to and out of the smallest spaces with ease. The system includes Perimeter Scan—an innovative feature that displays live, rotating 360-degree views of your surroundings when you’re parked.

Highlander's available Driver Easy Speak feature has a built-in microphone up front that picks up your voice and transmits it to rear-seat passengers through the back speakers.

With the available Entune^™ Multimedia Bundle, Highlander has the tech to make any drive a whole lot more fun.

Highlander Hybrid both generates and uses electric power—and you can see how much with the hybrid system power meter. It lets you know when the system is charging and also shows you electric power consumption. With the energy monitor display, you can see when Highlander Hybrid is using its electric motor, gasoline engine or a combination of both.

This is how you make an entrance. This available feature detects you as you approach Highlander and, on Platinum Package, projects an illuminated “Highlander” logo onto the ground directly below the side mirrors.

No matter where you go, the temperature’s perfect inside. The three-zone climate control available on Highlander features individual temperature controls for the driver and front passenger, along with a separate control panel in the back for the second- and third-row vents.

The available Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) is designed to heighten your awareness on the road by alerting you when a vehicle enters a blind spot on either side. Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA) works similarly. When you slowly back out of a driveway or parking spot, it provides audible and visual indicators to warn you of approaching vehicles.

Highlander Hybrid features the Star Safety System^™, a suite of six active safety features that include Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA) and Smart Stop Technology^® (SST).

An Advanced Airbag System helps protect you and your family with driver and front passenger dual stage airbags, driver and front passenger seat-mounted side airbags, a driver knee airbag, a front passenger seat-cushion airbag and Roll-sensing Side Curtain Airbags (RSCA) for all rows.

LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) provides an added measure of safety for the smaller members of your family. LATCH includes lower anchors and tethers on the outboard second-row seats and a tether anchor on the middle seat of the second and third rows.

A Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) comes standard on every Highlander. Designed to monitor tire pressure at all times, it alerts the driver when a tire or tires become critically underinflated and is one more way Highlander helps keep you safe.
