2017 Toyota Highlander Hybrid XLE XLE Base

Stock#: 250868A

The 2017 Toyota Highlander Hybrid XLE, specifically for the Canadian market, is a mid-size SUV offering three rows of seating and the added benefit of a fuel-efficient hybrid powertrain. It's designed to provide a comfortable and refined ride, making it a popular choice for families in Canada.

Key Technical Features:

• Hybrid Powertrain: At its core, the Highlander Hybrid XLE utilizes a hybrid system that combines a 3.5-liter V6 gasoline engine with electric motors. The total system power output is typically around 306 horsepower. This combination enables electric-only driving in certain low-speed situations, contributing to enhanced fuel efficiency.
• Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (ECVT): The hybrid system works in conjunction with an ECVT, which provides smooth and seamless acceleration without traditional gear shifts.
• All-Wheel Drive (AWD): Specifically tailored for the Canadian market, the 2017 Highlander Hybrid XLE usually comes equipped with an all-wheel-drive system. This enhances traction and stability in diverse Canadian weather conditions, including snow and ice.
• Battery Pack: The hybrid system is powered by a nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) battery pack, typically located beneath the second-row seats to optimize passenger and cargo space.
• Regenerative Braking: The vehicle utilizes a regenerative braking system that captures kinetic energy during deceleration and braking, converting it into electricity to recharge the hybrid battery.
• Toyota Safety Sense (TSS): This suite of active safety technologies often includes:
  • Pre-Collision System (PCS): Designed to help prevent or lessen the impact of frontal collisions.
  • Lane Departure Alert (LDA): Warns the driver if the vehicle begins to drift from its lane.
  • Automatic High Beams (AHB): Automatically switches between high and low beam headlights for optimal visibility.
  • Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC): Maintains a consistent following distance from the vehicle ahead.
• Infotainment System: Typically includes an 8-inch touchscreen display, AM/FM radio, CD player, USB ports, auxiliary input jack, Bluetooth for phone calls and audio streaming, and often integrated navigation.
• Three-Zone Automatic Climate Control: Allows independent temperature settings for the driver, front passenger, and rear seating areas.
• Power Liftgate: Provides convenient, powered access to the rear cargo area, often with remote operation.
• Seating Capacity: Offers seating for either seven or eight occupants, depending on the configuration of the second-row seats (captain's chairs or a bench).
• Fuel Efficiency: The hybrid powertrain delivers significantly improved fuel economy compared to a non-hybrid mid-size SUV. While exact figures vary, expect combined fuel consumption to be notably lower than the standard gasoline Highlander.
