Highlander family offers a choice of powertrains:
The Highlander gas models are built around a 295 horsepower, 3.5-litre V6 engine matted to a Direct Shift eight-speed automatic transmission. The combination delivers enhanced fuel efficiency, reduced emissions, and responsive acceleration. The gas model is offered in a choice of front-wheel-drive and four all-wheel-drive configurations and are set up for impressive fun with a factory-fitted towing package enhanced with Trailer Sway Control and a 5,000 lb. towing rating.
Highlander Hybrid models feature a new-generation self-charging hybrid-electric powertrain. This super-efficient system combines an Atkinson cycle four-cylinder engine, high-torque electric motor/generators, a continuously variable transmission and delivers 243-net horsepower. Hybrid system batteries are more efficient, keeping their size small enough to fit under the rear seats so they take up no additional cargo or passenger space. This all-new hybrid system boasts a 19 per cent improvement in fuel efficiency over the previous-generation hybrid powertrain.
