2006 Toyota Highlander
With the Hybrid joining the Prius in the line-up, Toyota says it is now the very first vehicle manufacturer to provide a full gasoline/electric crossbreed in both the intermediate SUV and also mid-size passenger car segments. The Highlander Crossbreed is powered by a brand-new variation of Toyota's Hybrid Harmony Drive powertrain, specially-tweaked for a midsize SUV. It includes an electronically-controlled continuously variable transmission (CVT) as well as on-demand electronic four-wheel-drive. The gasoline engine works perfectly with a high-torque electrical drive motor-generator that creates a peak system outcome equivalent to 268 hp, but with half the fuel consumption of a conventionally-powered automobile.
The Highlander is a "full crossbreed", suggesting that it can run in fuel or electric settings, as well as a mix of both. Under normal conditions, the Crossbreed operates in front-wheel-drive setting, as well as automatically changes to 4WD when extra traction is required. The Harmony Drive powertrain powers the front wheels, while an electric motor drives the rear ones.
Features on the gasoline-only Highlander consist of CD/cassette gamer with 6 audio speakers, air conditioning, cloth seats, 60/40 split rear bench, power locks with keyless entrance, power home windows, flooring mats, cargo cover, cruise ship control, 16-inch alloy wheels, personal privacy glass, warmed mirrors, variable periodic wipers, as well as haze lamps. The seven-passenger version adds a third-row bench seat with fold-down seatback. Readily available alternatives are a Leather Package, and a Restricted Bundle that includes a lengthy checklist of attributes, including natural leather interior, 17-inch wheels, side and drape air bags and also power sunroof.
The five-passenger Crossbreed includes multi-information display screen, LED taillamps as well as 17-inch wheels.
The seven-passenger Hybrid comes just in Restricted trim, as well as adds updated CD/cassette with eight speakers and wheel-mounted controls, automated environment control, auxiliary rear heating system, warmed natural leather seats, outside temperature scale, leather-wrapped wheel, integrated garage door opener, side and also drape airbags, anti-theft system, power sunroof and also light control system.
All models supply an enjoyable flight, but the seven-passenger variation is that in name only; the third row of seats is cramped and ideal mainly for smaller sized kids. Unless you're hauling seven passengers regularly, the five-passenger offers extra freight room without folding down another row of seats.
The Crossbreed is red-hot modern technology, with a horse power increase as well as far better fuel economic climate compared to its gasoline-only double, however a $6,350 costs in base type as well as $6,415 in Minimal trim will take a while to pay back at the gas pumps, despite having rising fuel rates; purchase this set to save the earth, not always your pocketbook.
