I Finally got My Toyota Highlander Hybrid!

I have wanted the Toyota Highlander Hybrid for years but would not purchase it earlier because it only came with 2nd row Captains Chairs which were a deal breaker. They finally offered the bench seating as an option and the timing was right. With gas prices going back up we got rid of my much hated Volvo XC 90 and got my Highlander Hybrid. I love it so far!!

2021 Highlander Hybrid (Platinum trim)

This car is gorgeous, inside and out. There is literally nothing I can complain about with this vehicle. I've only had it for just over a week, so I can't comment on reliability or anything like that, but let's be real... it's Toyota. I'm not worried. If there was 1 minor flaw - It can be a bit lackluster speeding up to get on a highway - but I do live in eco mode.. If you put it into sport mode, it is much more peppy. So if you value "muscle" over gas mileage - go for the standard Highlander over the Hybrid.

Have always purchased Toyota due to the reliabilit

Traded in a 2018 Highlander with a 3.5 was averaging 19-20 mph while daily driving. This Hybrid has unreal mpg been averaging 31-35 mpg. Turning radius seems a sharper on this one. So far very impressed. Wife has a 2019 Rav 4 hybrid, the driver’s seat was to cramped for me but is perfect for her. She’s also getting very impressive mileage.

It’s about time Toyota produced such a car

I own a 2019 Rav4 Hybrid which has been one of the best cars I have ever owned but Highlander takes it to another level especially if you opt for all the extras ! What is there not to like ? Best car for the money hands down.

2021 Highlander Hybrid

We've hardly had an opportunity to drive our new vehicle we are most impressed with Toyota's attempts to produce a vehicle that is safe, comfortable, efficient, and reliable. We've owned Toyotas for more than 25 years and have found their advances in design and function over the years amazing.

Excellent Ride. Concerned about odometer

Love the car and how it handles... smooth ride. I’m just concerned about my odometer not working correctly. I purchased it new this week and i went over all my trips, the odometer reading is inflated compared to my actual trips. I’m concerned about it. I will keep taking screenshots and monitor more frequently to gather proof. Apart from that o love this car !!!

Great hybrid. Love the mileage and performance.

This is our fourth Highlander and our first Hybrid. We love the styling and excellent performance. The gas mileage is superior. Great for long distance travel and getting around town. We absolutely love it.

Really like this SUV

Great gas mileage for an SUV and no loss of acceleration. Power ports for each seat row as well as two 120V outlets for camping, watching TV.
