2026 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Power and Performance
- Hybrid system details: 2.5-liter DOHC I-4 with VVT-iE (intake) and VVT-i (exhaust) paired with MG1/MG2 motor-generators; system output 243 hp.¹
- Drive modes: Normal, Eco, Sport; EV Mode for low-speed electric-only operation in short distances (e.g., parking).¹
- Regenerative braking: Captures deceleration energy; driver can step up regen manually on hills to mimic engine braking control.¹
- VDIM stability logic: Hybrid models employ Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management to coordinate traction, braking, steering assist, and hybrid output on slippery roads.¹
- All-weather traction: Electronic On-Demand AWD uses a separate rear electric motor to power the rear wheels as needed—fast torque apportioning without a driveshaft.¹
- Towing: Up to 3,500 lbs when properly equipped.¹³
Use Eco for Washington St. stop-and-go, Normal for I-95 merges, and let EV Mode handle quiet, low-speed maneuvers downtown. Add winter tires for shorter stops and better turning on Boston-area slush.
