2025 Toyota Highlander Hybrid: Exceptional Efficiency Meets Family-Sized Versatility

The 2025 Toyota Highlander Hybrid arrives at Canadian dealerships with impressive efficiency credentials. This three-row SUV delivers a remarkable 6.7L/100 km combined fuel consumption while offering the space and capability Canadian families need. The expanded lineup now features five distinct hybrid grades, each wearing the new Carbon Neutral Badge.


Cutting-Edge Hybrid Technology Delivers Real Results


The Highlander Hybrid powerplant pairs a 2.5L four-cylinder engine with two electric motor-generators through an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission. This sophisticated system generates 243 total system horsepower while maintaining class-leading fuel efficiency. The electronic on-demand all-wheel drive system employs a dedicated rear-mounted electric motor, engaging automatically when needed for optimal traction without compromising efficiency.


Efficiency-First Engineering and Design


Smart engineering extends beyond the powertrain. The Toyota New Global Architecture platform contributes to both handling and efficiency through improved aerodynamics and a lower centre of gravity. The sculpted exterior design reduces wind resistance, while the rigid body structure enhances stability and delivers a quieter ride. These improvements benefit both fuel economy and passenger comfort.


Intelligent Energy Management Inside and Out


The efficiency story continues inside the cabin. The three-zone independent automatic climate control optimizes energy usage while maintaining comfort across all three rows. Available heated and ventilated seats provide targeted comfort without the need to heat or cool the entire cabin. The Hybrid Limited grade adds two 110-volt, 1,500-watt high-output power outlets, perfect for charging devices or powering equipment without idling.


Real-World Benefits for Canadian Drivers


Canadian drivers will appreciate the practical benefits of the Highlander Hybrid's efficient design. The 6.7L/100 km combined fuel consumption rating translates to significant savings at the pump, especially during long summer road trips or daily commutes. The electronic all-wheel drive system provides confident handling in winter conditions without the traditional fuel economy penalty of mechanical systems. With 2,387 litres of available cargo space and a 1,588 kg towing capacity, efficiency doesn't come at the cost of utility.


The 2025 Highlander Hybrid starts at $50,550 for the well-equipped LE grade. The range includes the popular XLE, distinctive Nightshade Edition, premium Limited, and top-tier Platinum models. Each grade comes with Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+, the latest Toyota Multimedia system, and the proven reliability of Toyota's hybrid technology.
