The 2013 Toyota Highlander Hybrid belongs to the crossover's second generation, celebrated for its gas-electric drivetrain. The SUV is equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 engine and three electric motors delivering a combined 280 horsepower. In the standard AWD setup, the front wheels are powered by the gasoline engine and an electric motor, while the rear wheels get their push from a second electric motor. A continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) is standard. The Highlander Hybrid comes with one very well-equipped trim with standard features such as keyless ignition/entry, a touchscreen interface, and a rearview camera. The 2013 model also received some minor aesthetic tweaks but remained consistent with its reputation for competent handling, comfortable ride quality, and impressive fuel economy for a three-row crossover SUV.
