Is The 2024 Toyota Highlander Hybrid The Top SUV Choice For Hybrids?

Is the 2024 Toyota Highlander Hybrid the BEST Hybrid SUV? The Highlander Hybrid effectively starts with the solid foundation of the regular Highlander and simply adds excellent fuel economy. It's adequately quick and nimble, and it loses no passenger or cargo space compared to the regular Highlander. Its third-row seat is small by midsize SUV standards, but that's one of few drawbacks.
New for 2024 is the Nightshade Edition styling package and a hands-free power lift gate now standard on XLE trim.

I'd love to see you review the cheapest configuration hybrid, under $41,000, 8" center display, etc.

[@CC-ll5fe]

Love the color

[@TheFlyingotto]

I sat in one and immediately noticed how uncomfortable the seats were. Very firm. If it wasn’t for that I would have considered one to replace my older highlander.

[@roxstix]

I'm waiting for the Highlander to change its front exterior look like the Grand Highlander.

Thank you!

[@RolanJohnson_SoCal]

No way I'm not getting one of those four cylinders. I'm a six cylinder type of person.

[@StefanMihoc]

Downvoting for not going into the 3rd row.

[@2151abell]

yup...Toyota 'Really has been ' communicating with their customers ' ... they sure have....All the way to the Bank....

[@jrs9264]

Does the subscription come with free chicken wings? 🤔🤣
seriously, what is hybrid record for repair costs after warranty expires? 💰

[@brokeboy87]

I would probably consider the new Kia Sorento Hybrid despite its lower resale value and reliability rating.

[@markshattis6957]

Okay Lauren, since you asked. My opinion only, but I think the HUD should be standard on every vehicle and I wish my daily driver had it. If drivers don't like the HUD, the vehicle could come with an option to turn it off. But, I think it's a great feature overall and a great safety feature. Ask any jet pilot if the appreciate the HUD on their plane. 😊

[@naveenthemachine]

Probably the worst 3 row in the market.

[@oneofthoseguys2019]

How so?

[@johnfromnewjerseyusa1369]

FYI -
You keep *mispronouncing* the word *"console".*
You say "council". (cown-sill)
But a "council" is a group of people.
While a "console" is a car part.
✔ "Con-sole".
❌ NOT "Cown-sill".

[@wandameadows5736]

Hybrids are EVs & your making a huge financial mistake if you buy them.

[@curyllo]

Oh really?
