2007 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Overview

Introduction

The Toyota Highlander Hybrid is almost identical to the regular combustion engine Highlander. However, it is kinder to the environment and gets slightly better gas mileage.

The Highlander Hybrid seats five standard and up to seven with optional extra seats. There is available front- or all-wheel drive. It is powered by a second-generation Hybrid Synergy Drive System. This system combines a 208 hp 3.3-liter V-6 engine and an electric motor. In total the combination creates 268 hp total. This is all controlled by a continuously variable transmission. In the all-wheel drive version a separate electric motor drives the rear wheels. Front, side-impact and first- and second-row side curtain airbags come standard.

For 2007, The Toyota Highlander Hybrid only gets slight exterior changes.
