Take a Drive in the New 2011 Toyota Highlander Hybrid

The new 2011 Highlander Hybrid looks like a fortune but will probably end up saving you a fortune with its combined fuel-efficient engine. Designed with a double gas and electric engine, the inspiring Highlander Hybrid gets up to 28 MPG City and Highway on its Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (ECVT). This incredible SUV also saves energy with its electric power steering capability and an electronically-controlled braking system which includes rengenerative braking.

Toyota's innovative engineering moves beyond the engine and extends along the Highlander Hybrid's exterior, which features a UV-reduction glass windshield, hybrid blue tinted headlight with taillight bezels and a silver painted front grille. The expansive 7-passenger interior is adorned with a variety of conveniences, such as second-row personal reading lamps, a center console with beverage holders and overhead storage, and a 3.5-inch multi-information display with a built-in back-up monitor.

But above all else the updated Highlander Hybrid is built with the latest safety equipment for overall protection, with a driver and front passenger advanced airbag system with seat-mounted side airbags and three-row roll-sensing side-curtain airbags for the backseat passengers. Child-protector rear door locks, side-impact door beams, and a collapsible steering column are also provided for additional safety.
