2015 Toyota Highlander Hybrid

The 2015 Toyota Highlander Hybrid gets excellent fuel economy and reviewers appreciate its first-rate cabin and quiet ride, but some dislike how much more expensive it is than the non-hybrid model.
With its standard V6 gasoline engine, three electric motors and automatic transmission, most reviewers say the 2015 Toyota Highlander Hybrid has strong acceleration from a stop. The Highlander Hybrid gets excellent fuel economy for the class, at an EPA-estimated 27/28 mpg city/highway. Reviewers praise the Highlander Hybrid’s controlled handling, and they say it rides comfortably on the highway. A few reviewers caution that the Highlander Hybrid has a sensitive brake pedal.
Test drivers say the seven-seat 2015 Toyota Highlander Hybrid's cabin features an attractive design, first-rate materials and Lexus-like build quality. They note that its front- and middle-row seats are spacious, and they appreciate that the standard middle-row captain's chairs slide forward to make it easier to climb into the third row. Critics say the third row is best suited to kids, but that is a common complaint for the class. Standard features include tri-zone automatic climate control, a 12-speaker JBL audio system, a rearview camera and the Entune infotainment system with an 8-inch touch screen, a USB port, Bluetooth and navigation. Optional features include adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, a panoramic sunroof and a rear-seat Blu-Ray player. According to reviewers, the touch-screen navigation system has crisp graphics and large, responsive buttons, which makes it easy to use.
