The overview
The fourth-generation Highlander Hybrid retains its qualities of a comfortable ride and a smooth powertrain. Handling is sound and secure. Interior fit and finish is upgraded, particularly in higher-trim versions. The hybrid system is less powerful than the previous generation but gets an excellent 35 mpg. Both seven- and eight-passenger seating configurations are available. Either way, the second row is very roomy, but the third row is tiny. The controls are easy to use, and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility is standard. The Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 suite includes standard AEB with pedestrian detection and FCW. BSW and RCTW became standard in 2023. For 2025, the LE trim of the Highlander Hybrid was dropped. AWD also became standard. A Limited 25th Anniversary edition is available commemorating 25 years of the Highlander model.

Behind the data
Latest source update: September 11, 2026
Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.
Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
