Look Into the 2026 Toyota Highlander Hybrid at Miller Toyota

If you’ve finally decided to step into the world of hybrid SUVs, the 2026 Toyota Highlander Hybrid won’t disappoint. Besides its excellent green engineering, this midsize hybrid SUV is also spacious, comfortable, and tech-laden, placing it among the leaders in its class.

The 2026 Highlander Hybrid is just the right size, slotted between the RAV4 and the Grand Highlander. It compares well with other contenders in its class, including the Kia Sorento Hybrid and the Ford Explorer Hybrid.

For the 2026 model year, Toyota has simplified the Highlander Hybrid lineup by dropping the XSE trim. This leaves you with the following three variants to choose from:

Interior Review of the 2026 Toyota Highlander Hybrid

The 2026 Highlander Hybrid is built to pamper all passengers. Besides ample room to stretch out, you’ll also appreciate the refined finishes and plenty of convenient cabin features.

All three trims are configured to seat seven passengers, with captain’s chairs in the second row. The base XLE model, however, can be configured with a bench in the middle row, allowing it to accommodate up to eight people. The standard seat layout with the captain’s chair gives second-row passengers utmost comfort while making access to the third row easier.

Legroom is 42.0 inches in the first row, 38.7 inches in the middle row, and 28.0 inches in the last row. Headroom by row measures 39.6, 39.4, and 36.1 inches, respectively.

There is also more than enough cargo space for your belongings. You’ll find 16.0 cubic feet of cargo room behind the third row for your groceries, luggage, and gear. If you fold the last row, you’ll have 48.4 cubic feet of cargo space for bigger items, such as golf bags and furniture. If you leave only the front seat up, you’ll free up a total cargo space of 84.3 cubic feet. The standard hands-free power liftgate is handy for loading and unloading your stuff.

The XLE trim comes in SofTex® upholstery, while the higher trims feature leather seat covers. Other cabin amenities include heated and ventilated front seats, a digital rearview mirror, and a power moonroof. Additionally, the three-zone automatic climate control with an air filter allows passengers in each row to set their preferred cabin temperature.

There are ample child-friendly features. These include the LATCH system, which makes it easy to install child seats. A power window lockout control and child-protector rear door locks also give you peace of mind, letting you focus on the road.

Exterior Review of the 2026 Toyota Highlander Hybrid

The 2026 Toyota Highlander Hybrid is both powerful and refined, a design combination that never fails to attract attention. Sharp LED lights, chrome-plated front grille, and silver roof rails add to its commanding stance.

The base XLE trim comes with 18-inch machine-finished alloy wheels, while the Limited and Platinum variants take it a notch higher with 20-inch alloy wheels. The twin-tip exhaust adds a sporty flair. Other useful exterior features include rain-sensing windshield wipers, noise-reducing front side windows, and privacy glass on the rear side.

You can choose from the following body colors:

• Blueprint
• Midnight Black Metallic
• Ruby Flare Pearl
• Wind Chill Pearl
• Heavy Metal

Power and Performance of the 2026 Toyota Highlander Hybrid

The 2026 Highlander Hybrid won’t leave you hanging in any driving challenge, given its robust hybrid powertrain. Three strong electric motors complement its 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engine. Altogether, this engineering setup provides 243 horsepower at your fingertips. Using an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission, you’ll enjoy responsive acceleration and a fun driving experience.

The latest Highlander Hybrid is designed for top performance in any terrain. It features an electronic on-demand all-wheel drive (AWD) system. This innovation automatically engages the rear wheels only when necessary. Sensors detect slippage in the front wheels, sudden road inclination, and other road conditions that require extra traction. Because it only becomes active when needed, higher overall efficiency is achieved.

When properly equipped, this Toyota hybrid SUV can tow up to 3,500 pounds. You also have a choice among five driving modes, namely, Normal, Sport, Eco, EV, and Trail. The Normal option is for everyday driving, while the Sport setting delivers responsive acceleration. The Eco mode maximizes fuel and power efficiency, while the EV option lets you harness pure electric power for easy driving. The Trail setting is best when driving beyond paved roads.
