To create the new Highlander Hybrid, Toyota has drawn on 23 years’ experience in making hybrid vehicles and more than 16 million global sales. The model’s fourth generation selfcharging system provides up to 80 per cent emissions-free driving, combined with Toyota’s renowned quality, durability and reliability.

Highlander joins RAV4, C-HR and the forthcoming Yaris Cross to complete a comprehensive Toyota European SUV line-up. In fact, it is Europe’s largest hybrid SUV range; in the UK all these models are now hybrid-only.

Hitherto, electrification of large (E-segment) SUVs has tended to focus on plug-in hybrid (PHEV) technology. Despite the benefits this offers, customers in this part of the market tend to travel longer distances with a greater percentage of motorway miles that a PHEV’s electric range may not be able to meet. Highlander’s self-charging hybrid powertrain and an electriccruising speed of up to 78mph (125km/h) efficiently meet the segment’s customer needs.

Built on Toyota’s GA-K platform, Highlander has the large SUV attributes of seven seats on demand, comfort, drivability and safety. The all-wheel drive 245bhp/182kW hybrid powertrain is exceptionally quiet and offers fuel economy (WLTP combined cycle) from 39.2 to 39.7mpgwith 160 to 163g/km CO2 emissions. Acceleration is smooth and powerful, and Highlander can tow loads of up to two tonnes.

2021 Toyota Highlander Excel Premium Front View 3/4

The wide front and rear tracks (1,662 and 1,690mm respectively) are given extra emphasis by flared wheel arches and the trapezoid shape of the upper and lower front grilles, reinforcing the car’s broad and powerful stance.

In profile, there is a strong sense of dynamism generated by a sturdy, forward-leaning lower body and a rear-sloping, tapering cabin with blacked out pillars. Large, 20-inch alloy wheels add to the premium quality appearance – silver five-triple-spoke for the Excel model and dark grey/machined 10-spoke with the Premium.

The powerful look is further expressed in the wide flaring of the rear wheel arches, while the rear end is characterised by sharp, slim rear light clusters and large under-run.

Seven exterior paint colours are available, including a new Moondust blue pearlescent which uses a two-layer coating process. This gives a solid look with the lustre of pure metal.

Interior design

The interior is designed with all the practicality, durability and flexible space-on-demand expected of a seven-seat family SUV, while offering a comfortable and luxurious
environment for everyone on board.

The instrument panel has a solid central element that houses the eight-inch multimedia display and flows across the full width of the dashboard, framed by smooth, soft-touch padding. It is visually supported by a wide, square centre console.

The interior is upholstered in black perforated leather with textured silver ornamentation and dark wood trim.
