Drivers who want an SUV that’s equal parts eco-friendly and family-oriented should consider the 2023 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. Spacious, well-appointed, and versatile, the new Toyota Highlander Hybrid lets you shrink your carbon footprint without giving up any of the utility that you need. Here are a few of the standout features you can see in person at St. Cloud Toyota.

Powertrain and Cabin Space

A 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, battery pack, and a pair of electric motors power the Toyota Highlander Hybrid. Together, those components generate 243 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque, which is enough power for the SUV to tow up to 3,500 lbs with the appropriate equipment. 

This SUV relies on a continuously variable automatic transmission for gear shifts. Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive available as an option. 

The Toyota Highlander Hybrid has seats for seven or eight passengers depending on the configuration of its second row. Cargo space behind the third row measures a generous 16 cubic feet, with maximum total cargo space measuring 84.3 cubic feet with both passenger rows folded down.

Active Safety Equipment

Every new Toyota model at our location is thoughtfully equipped with advanced safety and driver-assistive features. For example, adaptive cruise control comes standard on the Toyota Highlander Hybrid, which maintains a static distance between your SUV and the car you’re following on the highway without input from you.

Lane-centering assist is also standard. If you start to inadvertently veer out of your lane, this feature will gently correct your steering to reposition your Toyota Highlander Hybrid back in the middle of the lane.
