The hybrid SUV Highlander, produced in North America, has perfected power and comfort. Originally, it was available through early sales limited to the Tokyo area, but from August 1, 2026, it will also be handled by Toyota dealerships nationwide, making it a more familiar presence. Utilizing the U.S. passenger car certification system, one can feel the generous build typical of the original.

The body size is a grand scale of 4950mm in length, 1930mm in width, and 1730mm in height. It can accommodate up to 7 passengers with three rows of seats, and by folding down the third row, approximately 870 liters of luggage space is created.

The hybrid system, which combines a 2.5-liter engine and an electric motor, generates a maximum system output of 184 kW (250 PS). It also features E-Four (Toyota's unique electric 4WD system) to drive all four wheels, making it a reliable partner that can safely navigate rough terrain and snowy roads.
