Toyota Dealer San Diego is now carrying the all new, 2011 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. It was ranked number 16 out of 23 Affordable Midsize SUV. The hybrid comes with a 3.5 liter V6 engine that is paired with an electric motor that works as a continuously variable transmission.
The Highland Hybrid from Ogden Toyota Dealership, comes with a pretty decent protection package. It consists of three years or 36,000 mile basic warranty and a five year or 60,000 mile powertrain warranty. The hybrid components such as; the HV battery, battery control module, hybrid control module and inverter with converter are covered by an eight year or 100,000 mile warranty. The 2011 model has yet to be tested, but the 2010 model, which can be found at Used Car Dealer Greenwood, received high scores on all crash tests. They received five stars for driver protection and four stars for passenger protection in frontal tests. They also earned five stars for both front and rear seat protection in side crash tests and four stars for rollover tests. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the Highlander it’s highest ranking of “Good” in frontal offset, side impact and rear crash protection tests.
Some of the safety features on the Highlander Hybrid include; three-row roll-sensing side curtain airbags and drivers knee airbag, enhanced vehicle stability control, traction control, electronic brakeforce distribution, brake assist and Hill Start Assist Control. For 2011 the base model will come with a six speaker CD player, auxiliary audio jack, power windows and locks, remote key-less entry, a tilt/telescopic steering wheel and a multi-information display which shows average fuel economy and outside temperature. It also features a family-friendly conversation mirror which allows the driver to keep an eye on the kids in the back without having to turn around.
There weren’t many pros and cons listed on this vehicle. Some of the remarks that I did find weren’t that bad. Alot of people raved about the seamless hybrid powertrain and that it was a real quit ride. Some of the gripes that I found listed on the Highlander Hybrid that the fuel savings most likely wouldn’t justify the price and that the base stereo was disappointing. Really nothing to bad. Go to your local Toyota dealership and test drive one. I am sure you will like what you see.
