The 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid is now on display at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. It marks the world debut of the all-new third-generation gas-electric mid-size hybrid SUV.
With three-row seating for seven, an array of standard features, a host of available in-cabin technologies, and increased cargo capacity, the new Highlander Hybrid will also feature a Hybrid Synergy Drive powertrain system for enhanced mileage and fewer emissions.
The 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid model’s Hybrid Synergy Drive system pairs the 3.5-liter V6 gasoline engine with a high-torque electric drive motor-generator for additional power and fuel efficiency.

Highlander will have a MacPherson strut front suspension, double-wishbone rear suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and 19-inch Chromtec alloy wheels.
A 4.2-inch color LCD Multi-Information Display will provide an array of driver information including an Eco driving indicator and energy monitor to help maximize hybrid efficiency.
