Hybrid SUV Offers Fuel Savings In A Luxury Package
When it comes to luxury the Highlander Hybrid is loaded, and fuel mileage is improved using a gas-electric powertrain. Built on a uni-body architecture, like a Camry or the Avalon, the Highlander Hybrid could be thought of as a crossover. The uni-body attributes provide the Highlander Hybrid with the driving feel of a bigger car, but in a higher seating position. Watch The Video!
The Highlander Hybrid base grade offers a new Leather Package that includes leather-trimmed front seats with front seat heaters, leather-trimmed steering wheel and shift knob, power moonroof, auto-dimming rearview mirror with compass, plus an engine immobilizer with security alarm. The optional navigation system is now available for the SE grade (previously only on Limited), while the Limited gains standard automatic climate control for the rear and offers a new perforated leather. The Highlander Hybrid Base grade gains standard easy-clean fabric seating, along with an eight-way power driver’s seat, the Tech Audio, the third-row seat and manual rear climate control.
The 2011 Highlander Hybrid is more easily distinguished from the gasoline model by its own unique grille and bumper design. It shares the new fenders and hood with the gas Highlander but features color-keyed rockers with chrome accents, plus vertically stacked fog lamps. The projector beam headlights and redesigned taillights feature blue lens covers.
