2011 Toyota Highlander Hybrid spec

The 4815-pound hybrid's appearance was a touch unnoticeable, however. This Highlander hurried to 60 mph in 7.3 supports and tripped the quarter-mile lights in 15.2 seconds at 92 mph—practically identical to the final V-6 model we tested, which completed midpack in a six-vehicle observation test. Its 181-foot stop from 70 mph is unyielding for this size class, admitting that 0.74 g on the skidpad is somewhat hurting for. Nineteen-crawl wheels—standard on Limited trims and a $1020 choice on the base model—would have accommodated the skidpad figure a touch but wouldn’t have done much concerning the impressive understeer and figure roll we noted.

Given its mission, notwithstanding, the Highlander half and half's ride value is nice if a small uneven and underdamped, and the absence of parallel uphold in the front seats isn’t an issue at suburban speeds. The switch among electric and inward-burning capacity is almost seamless, for the most part requiring a look at the dash-mounted capacity meter/trip machine to see what the V-6 is (or is not) doing. As with most half breeds, the regenerative brakes are grabby, and the electric capacity directing offers zero reaction or development helter-skelter.
