Features

More miles mean more fun. Whether you’re driving around town or venturing out to see what nature has to offer, Highlander Hybrid has the most fuel efficiency in its class.

Highlander Hybrid offers multiple selectable driving modes that let you choose how it performs: Normal for everyday driving, ECO for maximum efficiency, Sport for improved acceleration, Trail Mode for extra traction, and EV Mode, which allows electric-only driving at low speeds for short distances.

For the first time, Highlander Hybrid now gives you the choice between two powertrains. Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) delivers intelligent capability, while All-Wheel Drive (AWD) provides extra traction.

The power of an intelligent grip. Highlander Hybrid's available Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD) provides all-weather capability and confident on-road driving dynamics. The system uses a dedicated electric drive motor to automatically supply power to the rear wheels for instant improvement in traction.

Taking advantage of the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA-K) platform, Highlander offers a smoother, confident ride. The strength of the framework also naturally enhances handling, while sound-damping and soundproofing materials have been used to help create a quiet cabin for every drive.

Amp up your entertainment with the available, best-in-class 12.3-in. touch-screen display. The large multimedia system puts Android Auto^™ and Apple CarPlay^® compatibility, Amazon Alexa capability, SiriusXM^® All Access 3-month trial and more right in front of you, so you can get the most out of every drive.

No wires? No worries. Highlander Hybrid features available Qi-compatible wireless smartphone charging. Simply place your Qi-compatible device in the center console to easily charge it up.

Convenience built right in. The open design of Highlander Hybrid's storage compartments lets you easily keep track of all your things, while available blue LED ambient lighting gives off a warm glow when it gets dark.

Make every seat more comfortable. Available heated and ventilated front seats cool down or warm up on demand, while available heated second-row seats can help keep passengers warm.

Brighten each day with the available panoramic moonroof with front power tilt/slide moonroof. Open it up to catch a breeze and enjoy the wide-open view, or easily find cover with a power-retractable sunshade.

Highlander Hybrid's roomy interior gives you enough space to seat up to eight and provides impressive leg room, even for those in back.

Highlander Hybrid's bold new design is hard to ignore. Its chiseled shape and contoured lines display the perfect balance between power and refinement. Get ready to turn heads wherever you go.

Highlander Hybrid's all-new design introduces its first-ever 20-in. wheels. Available on Limited and Platinum, the multi-spoke design adds more sophistication without compromising performance.

Easy to use and even more convenient, the available hands-free power liftgate is ready to help. When your hands are full, Highlander Hybrid senses your Smart Key fob and opens automatically when you wave your foot under the rear bumper.

The dynamic front end of Highlander Hybrid shows off its modern look. The stylish standard LED headlights provide a crisp, clean light, while available auto-leveling LED projector-beam headlights help keep light aimed down at the road for better visibility.

Bring along a familiar face. With Highlander Hybrid's Apple CarPlay^® compatibility, you can use your compatible iPhone^® with the multimedia system to get directions, make calls, send and receive messages, and listen to music, while staying focused on your commute.

When you enable available Wi-Fi Connect, you can turn your Highlander Hybrid into a hotspot with 4G connectivity. This feature allows up to five devices to stay connected to your favorite apps, while five USB ports and two 12V outlets help everyone find a charge.

SiriusXM^® is playing what you want to hear. You get to try the widest variety of entertainment anywhere when you purchase a vehicle equipped with SiriusXM^®. Just hit the button and start listening—it's an experience like no other. Choose from over 200 channels in your vehicle, including ad-free music, plus sports, news, talk, comedy and more.

Get a clear view with the flip of a switch with Highlander Hybrid's available digital rearview mirror. This innovative feature uses a camera mounted up high inside the rear window for a wider field of vision—letting you see more of what's behind you.

Get there with confidence. Highlander Hybrid features available Dynamic Navigation that can provide you with the most up-to-date map data, routes and points of interest. Just set your destination, and it will help you find the best way there.

Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD) is designed to help keep the road safe by detecting a vehicle, pedestrian or bicyclist in certain situations. The latest system has enhanced low-light capabilities for pedestrian detection. By combining millimeter-wave radar with a camera capable of shape recognition, the system provides an audio/visual alert, warning you of a possible collision under certain circumstances. If you don't react, the system is designed for automatic braking support to help mitigate the potential for a collision.

Intended for highway use and similar to “constant speed” cruise control, available Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) lets you drive at a preset speed. DRCC uses vehicle-to-vehicle distance control, which is designed to adjust your speed, to help you maintain a preset distance from the vehicle ahead of you that is 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 is designed to 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 may be applied. When there's no longer a vehicle driving slower than your preset speed in front of you, DRCC will then accelerate to the preset speed and regular cruise control will resume.

Using Road Edge Detection or by detecting visible lane markings, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/SA) is designed to issue both an audible alert and visual warning on the MID screen if an inadvertent lane departure is detected at speeds above 32 mph. If the system determines that the driver is not taking corrective steering action, the Steering Assist function is designed to initiate and provide gentle corrective steering to help keep the vehicle in the lane.

When the available Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) is enabled and lane markers are detectable, Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) uses the lines on the road and/or preceding vehicles to help keep the vehicle centered while also displaying the vehicle's position on the MID screen. The system is designed to help reduce driver strain and increase convenience, and may benefit drivers most during traffic jams—but can be turned off using the MID.

The Automatic High Beams (AHB) feature is 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 relies on an in-vehicle camera to help detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles and taillights of preceding vehicles, then automatically toggles between high and low beams accordingly to provide the appropriate amount of light. By using high beams more frequently, the system may allow for earlier detection of pedestrians and obstacles.

Road Sign Assist (RSA) is designed to help keep the road safe. Using a forward-facing intelligent camera, Road Sign Assist is designed to detect speed limit signs, stop signs, yield signs and Do Not Enter signs, and display them on the MID.

The available Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) is designed to warn you when a vehicle is detected approaching Highlander's blind spot on either side. When Highlander is placed in Reverse, available Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA) is designed to detect vehicles approaching from either side. If the system senses cross traffic, it is designed to warn you with side mirror indicators and a warning tone.

Working along with the available Intelligent Clearance Sonar (ICS) and Rear Cross-Traffic Braking (RCTB), Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automated Braking (PA w/AB) is designed to detect moving or standing pedestrians behind the vehicle by using the rear camera. When someone is detected, the system uses alerts and brake control to help minimize damage or even help drivers avoid a possible collision. Simulation shown.

Every new Toyota comes with ToyotaCare, a maintenance plan that covers normal factory scheduled service for 2 years or 25, 000 miles, whichever comes first, and 24-hour Roadside Assistance for 2 years, unlimited mileage.
