The new 2020 Toyota Highlander Hybrid is a brand new, third generation model. This latest Toyota Highlander Hybrid uses a new 2.5L 4-Cylinder matched to the electric hybrid system. The Output of the gasoline engine and electric motors of the Highlander is 243hp, which is down from the last model but torque is 263 lb.-ft. of torque, which is up almost 50 lb.-ft. This makes this latest Toyota Highlander Hybrid a much better 7-passenger utility to drive. Acceleration is nabber and the new platform handles better. The interior is capable of seating for 7 or 8-passengers over three rows. Styling has been evolved to a more powerful looking, yet elegant design. Fuel economy for the new Toyota Highlander Hybrid is just 6.7L/100km in the city and 6.8L/100km on the HWY, which is 36 MPG in the city and 35 MPG on the HWY. This is the kind of fuel economy found in compact cars ten years ago!

Team Motormouth, I finally saw one of these on the road here in Ontario this week and had a chance to chat with the owner. It amazes me that this 3 row CUV gets better mpg in city/suburban driving than an ordinary Civic or Corolla. That new Hybrid Sienna is just as impressive.

@andreaspencer9813 3 года назад

Thanks for watching and the support. Amazing fuel economy, it's the wave of the future. Can't wait to test drive the Sienna.

As well the new RAV4 hybrid 40 MPG combined and only $1400 CAD more then gas model + faster and quieter along with 10 year 200,000km battery warranty (not that you'll need it). No brainer!

@alant5757 3 года назад

Heard that the power in the Hybrid is lacking.... the video obviously says it’s better than the old hybrid but other reviewers say different. I guess it depends on gas prices in your area and how many miles you drive. I am now retired and to be honest... I like the extra power.

@sieurbzo2858 3 года назад

Can we rely on full available power from both fuel and electric engines to always be there? The battery must sometimes be too low and have less energy or the fuel engine'power be used to charge battery, I always wondered about power and torque consistency with these cars.

@davidwalsh4235 3 года назад

I test drove and liked the vehicle. I wanted to buy it for the cost of ownership and reliability advantages. However, I selected a different vehicle (wait for it...a Kia Telluride, with extended warranty) largely because the Highlander front door ingress was so inconvenient. The combination of seat height, rake of the windshield and low roof made ingress very awkward. I had to do a very uncomfortable sideways limbo if entering normally or dive in head first. I'm only 5'10" and I'm much more leg than trunk. No other test-driven vehicle in this class had that same problem. (By the way, the 2021 Sienna mini-van had the same ingress problem, but worse.).

@faded_farms 3 года назад

Is this the Platinum model? I was under the impression that only the Platinum model has the panorama roof and that they only come with 2 captains seats in the middle row, but the model you were driving has a bench seat in the middle row.

@AndrewBullard9170 3 года назад

@toronado455 3 года назад

Toyota doesn't quote torque numbers on their hybrids, so how do you know it's up in torque vs the previous gen Highlander hybrid? (Not saying you're wrong, just asking how you know this fact.)

@dany1247 3 года назад

Does this hybrid have enough power for a 4 cylinder if you go up a hill with two other heavy adults inside? If it has the same power as the V6 gasoline one, then I will be more geared towards the hybrid.

@andreaspencer9813 3 года назад

Yes, so true. Some people aren't fussed about the drive either. They just want a smooth ride and a reliable vehicle. I can understand that as well. This Highlander has plenty of power and less time will be spent at the pump.

@kellingtonlink956 3 года назад

An absolutely brilliant review guys! It was thorough, well filmed and entertaining. I wish I was as excited with the vehicle. I don’t doubt how well it is made and how it may sell. This new Toyota will do well and there is a market. But it’ll take more than a ‘pretty woman’ to get me to even consider a test drive.... especially as a hybrid. I loved the video, but felt lukewarm about the ride. Who will like it? The Kia/Hyundai group, obviously. Telluride/Palisade (despite being non-hybrids) sales, I suspect, will benefit from this new Toyota redesign and price point. Thanks for the video and have wonderful Thanksgiving.

I am so glad that Andrea mentioned reducing one's carbon footprint a number of times because in American reviews on hybrids the focus is mainly on increased fuel economy, which yes, is important, but not as important as reducing toxic emissions. European car reviews are similar in that they do mention reducing one's carbon footprint and talk about environmental concerns.

@andreaspencer9813 3 года назад

Thank you for your feedback. I constantly talk about carbon footprint in our house, I feel it's super important.

Just as important (if not more) then carbon footprint everyone seems to miss is you're polluting less! Less smog and pollutants is a step in the right direction 👍

@stephencannon3140 3 года назад

The only major technology improvement for the 2020+ Ford Explorer is in my opinion going back to Rear Wheel Drive. Exterior re design looks nice but too many other flaws and lack of more R/D in attempt to meet marketing deadlines not what makes sense. Coming from a 2018 Explorer I can honestly say that the Highlander being almost 6000 Lbs is a lot for any four cylinder engine. Especially Hybrid. My Buddy just got a AWD 2021 Platinum Hybrid and power train aside I think he made a good choice. I am not Anti Hybrid on just the Highlander, I am anti Hybrid in general. I probably wouldn’t turn away as a rental but wouldn’t go actively looking. The good news is the Hybrid drivers make my line at the Costco fuel pump shorter!!!

@leoncampa 3 года назад

SUV's are the way to go if you wish to have "some" off-road capability. The highlander is far from a true off-roader, but it can handle bumpy rides up a mountain trail better. This is a good SUV for a family that likes to go hiking once in a while, or needs some more clearance for unplowed snow roads after a fresh snowfall.
