2008 Toyota Highlander in Dayton, OH - $0

The 2018 Toyota Highlander Hybrid is available in LE, XLE, Limited and Limited Platinum trim levels. The Toyota hybrid impresses with its outstanding power and efficiency. The Highlander Hybrid offers room for up to eight and is designed to be the ideal family vehicle. Power is generated by the Hybrid Synergy Drive system which pairs the new Direct-Injection 3.5L V6 gasoline engine with a high-torque electric drive motor-generator. All Highlander Hybrid models come equipped with Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel-Drive System with intelligence (AWD-i) standard. Instead of transfer gears and a driveshaft to the rear wheels, this AWD-i system employs a second, independent electric motor to drive the rear wheels when needed to help maintain optimal traction.

Control hardware is enhanced by the Highlander Hybrid’s stiff body structure, combined with finely tuned MacPherson strut front suspension and double-wishbone rear suspension.
Inside the passenger cabin, quietness sets the stage for the premium feel throughout the interior. High quality materials and extensive standard equipment underscore the renowned Toyota value. A soft-touch instrument panel and silver-painted, satin, and chrome-plated accents throughout the interior convey a near-luxury feel.

The second row offers bench seating for three, or two captain’s chairs featuring a collapsible side tray with cup holders. Entering the third-row is easy using a one-step second-row sliding seat function on both driver and passenger sides. Third-row passengers get a standard recline function. But should those in the “way-back” need some occasional corrective instruction, there’s no need to shout from the front. Standard Driver Easy Speak works like a high-tech bullhorn, using a microphone to carry the driver’s or co-pilot’s voice through the audio system’s rear speakers.

The Highlander Hybrid’s design turns heads, but not at the expense of function. There’s excellent visibility in all directions, from all three rows. And it’s a hushed cabin, too, thanks to acoustic-type glass used for the windshield that helps keep outside noise where it belongs – outside. The most insulation coverage ever applied in a Highlander ensures a serene ride for all. Three hydraulic engine mounts, expanded coverage of the dash silencer and enhanced body sealing all help to dampen vibration. The available panoramic moonroof was designed to reduce wind noise, even when it’s open.
