At our Florida Toyota Dealer check out our large selection of 2008 and 2009 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. This site has been designed to give consumers the most up to date information on all of our Toyota vehicles. At Toyota we feel that informing the consumers is their best way to narrow down the search on which vehicle is the best for them.

At first look the New SUV delivers refinement, performance, and fuel economy for a premium price. The Highlander Hybrid follows fast on the heels of the conventional Highlander that was redesigned for 2008. The non-hybrid Highlander is very comfortable, capable, quiet, and is now our top-scorer in this class. The Hybrid version is just as nice but gets an estimated 22 mpg, four better than the non-hybrid version.
This SUV is powered by a 3.3-liter V6 and three compact electric motors. A 288-volt nickel-metal hydride battery (NiMH) powers the motors. The engine is mated to a continuously-variable transmission. Stability control is standard on the Highlander Hybrid. The first moments of driving this vehicle might seem odd to the uninitiated. After pushing the start button, all that happens is that a little green “Ready” light goes on. When initially proceeding into reverse or drive, the Highlander makes no engine noise. Using a very light touch on the pedal, the vehicle speeds up to 38 mph using electric power alone. But press hard on the accelerator and the engine will fire up.

A switch lets you choose between “Econ” and “EV” (electric vehicle) modes. The Econ mode saves fuel by dulling performance. The EV mode seems a little redundant, since in that mode the engine starts whenever it’s appropriate. When not in Econ mode, the Highlander Hybrid delivers respectable acceleration and plenty of power off the line. The Highlander Hybrid performs a lot like the regular Highlander. The ride is comfortable and cabin noise is minimal.
