The new 2020 Toyota Highlander Hybrid is a brand new, third generation model. This latest Toyota Highlander Hybrid uses a new 2.5L 4-Cylinder matched to the electric hybrid system. The Output of the gasoline engine and electric motors of the Highlander is 243hp, which is down from the last model but torque is 263 lb.-ft. of torque, which is up almost 50 lb.-ft. This makes this latest Toyota Highlander Hybrid a much better 7-passenger utility to drive. Acceleration is nabber and the new platform handles better. The interior is capable of seating for 7 or 8-passengers over three rows. Styling has been evolved to a more powerful looking, yet elegant design. Fuel economy for the new Toyota Highlander Hybrid is just 6.7L/100km in the city and 6.8L/100km on the HWY, which is 36 MPG in the city and 35 MPG on the HWY. This is the kind of fuel economy found in compact cars ten years ago!

Team Motormouth, I finally saw one of these on the road here in Ontario this week and had a chance to chat with the owner. It amazes me that this 3 row CUV gets better mpg in city/suburban driving than an ordinary Civic or Corolla. That new Hybrid Sienna is just as impressive.
Thanks for watching and the support. Amazing fuel economy, it's the wave of the future. Can't wait to test drive the Sienna.
As well the new RAV4 hybrid 40 MPG combined and only $1400 CAD more then gas model + faster and quieter along with 10 year 200,000km battery warranty (not that you'll need it). No brainer!
@@James-il3tq That's 50 mpg to the Canadian gallon.
Love the Questions, Coffee and Cars segment. Just wish it was longer!!!
Thank you, so glad you like the new segment, there are some great questions.
Hi Zach, I just want to say thanks to you both. We have a Rav4 hybrid and will eventually update our 2017 highlander to a hybrid as well. We love our cars even if they are the most boring cars ever!
We have a Toyota as well! You have made some very smart purchases.
We have a 2017 HH. Best fuel use to date has been (summer) combined city/highway is 6.47 L/100km. Great vehicle all round.
Just picked up a 2020 rav4 hybrid and I’m blown away. As my last 10 cars were bmw or Audi, it rides really smooth. Now a German car it ISNT, but man I love my 5.6l/100 kms im getting and I’ll be able to sell it 4 years later with 40k kms at a nominal loss 👏🏻
Absolutely! Just think of the amazing fuel economy you are getting, it really is a great car.
Re-sale value is always excellent with a Toyota.
@@andreaspencer9813 I’m so impressed. For the family vehicle grocery getter and commuter vehicle, doesn’t get much better this this. I can fit my entire $350 Costco shopping run in the trunk with stroller, portable baby eating high chair seat and all.
@@Billeh556 That's excellent! My Mom has a 2017 RAV4 and she loves it, one of the best purchases she's ever made. Congratulations, enjoy!
For a little extra handling get the XSE model with slightly stiffer suspension and get the 19" wheels with 235/55R19 tires. I went with that and she handles very nicely
@@James-il3tq nice! Yes mine has the sport suspension but not the wheels and tires to give you that little handling edge.
Hybrid is the way to go.
If you are buying a vehicle with an automatic transmission , absolutely get the Hybrid.
Agreed!
Heard that the power in the Hybrid is lacking.... the video obviously says it’s better than the old hybrid but other reviewers say different. I guess it depends on gas prices in your area and how many miles you drive. I am now retired and to be honest... I like the extra power.
I’m traumatized. Can’t unsee Zack on the pink cruiser!
I can't believe he actually rode my bike!!!
@Hugh MacIsaac terrific, thank you! We still have those hats.....maybe they will make a comeback one day. lol!
Zack pulled off the pink Barbie bike surprisingly well. LOL
I love your sense of humor. Good review, keep up the good work.
Thank you so much, happy to hear you enjoyed it.
I am so glad that Andrea mentioned reducing one's carbon footprint a number of times because in American reviews on hybrids the focus is mainly on increased fuel economy, which yes, is important, but not as important as reducing toxic emissions. European car reviews are similar in that they do mention reducing one's carbon footprint and talk about environmental concerns.
Thank you for your feedback. I constantly talk about carbon footprint in our house, I feel it's super important.
Just as important (if not more) then carbon footprint everyone seems to miss is you're polluting less! Less smog and pollutants is a step in the right direction 👍
What a great review! I love how you guys get the info out but make it fun. The coffee segment is a nice addition too. Following on IG 👍
Thank you so much, glad you liked it. Yes, it's great to get some questions about the vehicle from our Instagram followers that we can add to the review and answer them. There are some good questions.
You two are super funny together. Always with the innuendoes. 😆
Thank you so much!
I never noticed the key until u mentioned it… now I cant unsee it
I love this review. It is so nice and different. Great work Andrea and Zack. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it. Happy Thanksgiving to you too. :)
Very entertaining and hilarious review. Zack you got me 😆😂🤣 with the pink bike. Thanks for answering my question. Wife and I decided to upgrade for 2020 gas model based on being in the garage for family outings only when I’m back from traveling. She got the 2020 RAV4 Hybrid for daily use. Keep it up with the couple reviews! 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you so much, happy to hear you are enjoying our couple reviews. Enjoy your new purchase, congratulations!
Good job! Coffee , cars and talk! Great idea
Thank you! Happy you like the new segment, nice to hear from our followers and answer some of their questions.
Great review. I am looking forward to the 2021 Toyota Highlander XSE coming out soon. Hopefully you can review it.
Thank you so much, glad you liked the review. If the XSE is available in the Toyota press fleet, we will definitely review it. :)
I test drove and liked the vehicle. I wanted to buy it for the cost of ownership and reliability advantages. However, I selected a different vehicle (wait for it...a Kia Telluride, with extended warranty) largely because the Highlander front door ingress was so inconvenient. The combination of seat height, rake of the windshield and low roof made ingress very awkward. I had to do a very uncomfortable sideways limbo if entering normally or dive in head first. I'm only 5'10" and I'm much more leg than trunk. No other test-driven vehicle in this class had that same problem. (By the way, the 2021 Sienna mini-van had the same ingress problem, but worse.).
I imagine many people find comfort in a boring vehicle. It's something that they don't need to think about or consider while driving with 5 screaming kids at full blast .
Yes, so true. Some people aren't fussed about the drive either. They just want a smooth ride and a reliable vehicle. I can understand that as well. This Highlander has plenty of power and less time will be spent at the pump.
Y'all wrk so good together 👍
Thank you so much! :)
I really like your videos. Thorough reviews. I wish you would dare to refere to the ‘’carbon footprint’’ as a benefit to environment and not a detriment. After all, all this carbon dioxide that is also in sparkling water, Champagne and beer, is essential plant food. If you dont , dont worry i still love your channel ;-)
Can we rely on full available power from both fuel and electric engines to always be there? The battery must sometimes be too low and have less energy or the fuel engine'power be used to charge battery, I always wondered about power and torque consistency with these cars.
An absolutely brilliant review guys! It was thorough, well filmed and entertaining. I wish I was as excited with the vehicle. I don’t doubt how well it is made and how it may sell. This new Toyota will do well and there is a market. But it’ll take more than a ‘pretty woman’ to get me to even consider a test drive.... especially as a hybrid. I loved the video, but felt lukewarm about the ride. Who will like it? The Kia/Hyundai group, obviously. Telluride/Palisade (despite being non-hybrids) sales, I suspect, will benefit from this new Toyota redesign and price point. Thanks for the video and have wonderful Thanksgiving.
Thank you very much, really happy to hear you enjoyed it. Keeping it fun & exciting with a hybrid. :)
Does this hybrid have enough power for a 4 cylinder if you go up a hill with two other heavy adults inside? If it has the same power as the V6 gasoline one, then I will be more geared towards the hybrid.
i drove one of these and all i can say is , noway....i keep my old V6Hybrid RX450H. 4cyl is still a crying machine
Awesome review as always, I love the fun nature of your reviews! Kudos!!
Thank you very much, really glad to hear you liked it. Thanks for watching.
I purchased just today. I like such economical vehicle.
i subscribed because you guys are entertaining . thanks
Too bad 2021 sienna hybrid doesn’t come with removable second row seats. Therefore, I’m looking to get the 2021 highlander hybrid limited to use as a travel/camping vehicle, aka “hotel Prius”. The limited also has 110 outlet rated to 1500 watts, and safety sense 2.5.
Comments?
If Zack was bald he’d look like Billy Corgan.
The 2.5 first came out in the Scion TC in 2011 then in 2012 it was used in the Camry and onwards.
Great review. Not sure if Australia will be getting the Toyota Highlander/Kluger Hybrid here. That said. How does the Highlander Hybrid drive compared to the Mazda CX9?
It's like watching your parents flirt with each other. Awkward.
Or sweet!
The innuendo gets a bit much
I think it’s adorable 🥰
🤣🥰
Your comment doesn't make any sense
Is the hybrid imported from Japan?
I'm disappointed that my less than a year old 2020 Highlander is already outdated. The 2021 Highlander is BIGGER.
Crazy how fast things change!
Ah, no look again, exactly the same!
Well when shopping for a new car... If you know you are at end of the product cycle you can always wait lol
#2 what’s next for the Prius, let’s hope more power than what it has currently
Toyota doesn't quote torque numbers on their hybrids, so how do you know it's up in torque vs the previous gen Highlander hybrid? (Not saying you're wrong, just asking how you know this fact.)
When is the review on the pink cruiser coming out? LOL
Love that bike, Zack bought it for me one Mother's Day. Surprise!
Lovely video and review. Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Which is better; the Hybrid or non-hybrid?
Many reviews said the hybrid is way better because the cvt works great with hybrid.
Thank you guys. Cool video.
The comedy. 👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching and for the support.
Is this the Platinum model? I was under the impression that only the Platinum model has the panorama roof and that they only come with 2 captains seats in the middle row, but the model you were driving has a bench seat in the middle row.
Need a full review of Barbie bike! Please
lol! Now that would be fun.....
Wish we could buy a limited with a bench seat US.
Nice to se Andrea without glasses in the begining. Nice eyes ;).
Am usually here for cars, but today I clicked because you know why heh
Thank you so much! :)
The only major technology improvement for the 2020+ Ford Explorer is in my opinion going back to Rear Wheel Drive. Exterior re design looks nice but too many other flaws and lack of more R/D in attempt to meet marketing deadlines not what makes sense. Coming from a 2018 Explorer I can honestly say that the Highlander being almost 6000 Lbs is a lot for any four cylinder engine. Especially Hybrid. My Buddy just got a AWD 2021 Platinum Hybrid and power train aside I think he made a good choice. I am not Anti Hybrid on just the Highlander, I am anti Hybrid in general. I probably wouldn’t turn away as a rental but wouldn’t go actively looking. The good news is the Hybrid drivers make my line at the Costco fuel pump shorter!!!
I have the option to either get a Highlander Hybrid now, or wait 1 year for a KIA Sorento PHEV. So I'm waiting for KIA.
Great review My Friends
😁🤝😎👍
Ok guys the sexual innuendo is killing me 😂
lol! Having some fun.....
Does they have the nickel metal hydride or lithium ion batteries?
Thanks
Thanks for the review. You guys got the torque numbers wrong though
1:10 Brian Chow has left the chat
Have you had problem fueling the hybrid vs the gasoline version of this? Heard that they carried over the problem they had on the Rav4 hybrid fuel tank to the highlander as well
No issue
I own 2019 RAV4 hybrid XSE in Alberta. Zero fueling issues. Fills just past full on first click.
I saw a tuning fork! My wife saw the car key!
You guys are so adorable ❤️
Hybrid premium here is about 25%
RAV4 hybrid only $1400 more for the same model. I paid $39,300 CAD (cash price including all taxes, freight, etc) for my 2019 RAV4 hybrid XSE.
I think she likes him more when he's a little stiff....
You guys crack me up LOL
Ford Explorer has a poor iihs crash rating should be mentioned.
I love you two! So adorable together :) Can you please start a channel and just share marriage/relationship advice on it PLEASE?!!! :) :) :)
I went with a new RX 350, but this is a very nice car. You'd be NUTS to buy the Explorer over this Highlander. I've owned Ford and Lexus in recent years and they are *polar opposites.* Fords are pure _shit,_ and Toyota/Lexus will never let you down.
A Toyota will always keep going and keep it's re-sale value.
@@andreaspencer9813 A reply from The Boss! Cool! Keep up the great work, guys.
@@godfatherNYC Awesome, thank you so much!
I personally don’t understand the need for “ performance” and “ sportiness” in an suv
If you can get it all in one package, why not.
i cannot find a wagon, I like suvs but it does not handle like a car.
“Why do people buy this?” Because it lasts forever
That car last longer than your wife lol
Wait for the refresh when they get rid of the Subaru grill and weird blob 3/4 fenders
What kind of watch is he wearing
Rolex OP39mm
@@Motormouth... very nice!
I just saw the key!
She smoked you:)))
lol! Fun challenge!
What...? Your friend "Ciao"?
I love this SUV but it really should be a plug-in hybrid.
Imagine paying $50k and the passenger seat only adjusts 4 ways!
You would need your head checked to spend 52k on an Ford. It would break down 52 times before an Toyota
Has bigger mg2 motor
Sienna is the way forward. These suvs make no sense to me.
Mini Vans are excellent especially if you have a big family. So convenient, easy to get in and out of.
SUV's are the way to go if you wish to have "some" off-road capability. The highlander is far from a true off-roader, but it can handle bumpy rides up a mountain trail better. This is a good SUV for a family that likes to go hiking once in a while, or needs some more clearance for unplowed snow roads after a fresh snowfall.
No denying minivans waaaay more interior room. I tried 3rd row in this new Hylander it's IMPOSSIBLE for adults. 6 feet tall you're literally cranking your head and have legs into your chest lol
this guy is such 2 face, should see his personality reflect on live chat, you dont wanna take on questions buddy, Dont do a live chat!
Asking me to smash that Like button before even seeing the video will cause me to smash that Dislike button.
I hate hybrids
