Meet the 2023 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>What&#8217;s New<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Toyota Highlander Hybrid is a midsize SUV updated for the 2023 model year with several new features. The Limited, Platinum, and Bronze Edition models now come with a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, providing drivers with a high-tech and user-friendly interface. The Limited and Platinum models also boast power-folding mirrors, making parking and navigating tight spaces easier. Additionally, a new Cypress exterior paint option adds a touch of elegance to the Highlander&#8217;s sleek design. The XLE and XSE models now include a hands-free power liftgate, enabling drivers to open it quickly even when their hands are full. Finally, a 7.0-inch instrument cluster display is standard, enhancing the vehicle&#8217;s intuitive and modern feel. With these updates, the Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid offers a smooth and efficient driving experience with the latest technological features to enhance the overall driving experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><b>Performance and Efficiency\u00a0<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the standard Highlander is equipped with a new engine for the 2023 model year, the Grand Highlander Hybrid retains its dynamism from the 2020 model year. This powertrain includes a 2.5-liter inline-four engine working together with two electric motors. The hybrid&#8217;s total system output of 243 horsepower is seamlessly transmitted through a continuously variable transmission (CVT) to either the front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) system, depending on the model.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><b>New Safety Features\u00a0<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Grand Highlander Hybrid is an excellent choice if you&#8217;re looking for a safe SUV. It was awarded the 2022 Top Safety Pick+ by the IIHS and had a five-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA. The Grand Highlander Hybrid also comes with Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+. This includes a suite of safety features as standard, such as adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane centering, automatic high beams, and road sign detection. Most models also have blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. At the same time, the Limited and Platinum offer rear emergency braking. Additionally, the Limited and Platinum models come with a 360-degree camera system, and the Platinum has this feature as standard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><b>Technology and The Interior\u00a0<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to technology, the Highlander Hybrid has plenty to offer! The base model has an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a 7.0-inch instrument cluster display, complete with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a six-speaker audio system. However, if you want to take things up a notch, the Limited, Platinum, or Bronze Editions have covered you. With these models, you&#8217;ll enjoy a vast 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless smartphone mirroring, and an impressive 11-speaker JBL premium audio system. Plus, the &#8220;Hey Toyota&#8221; digital assistant, dual Bluetooth device connectivity, and cloud-based navigation make it easy to stay connected on the go.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But technology aside, the Highlander Hybrid also offers plenty of space for passengers and cargo. They&#8217;ll love the ample legroom in the second row if you have a few little ones. While the third-row space is less generous than some competitors, there&#8217;s still plenty of room for the whole family to stretch out and enjoy the ride. So, whether running errands around town or going on a road trip adventure, the Grand Highlander Hybrid is the perfect vehicle to keep you connected, comfortable, and ready for whatever the journey has in store!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><b>The Bronze Edition Is Back\u00a0<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Highlander Hybrid Bronze Edition debuted in 2022 and is back again for the 2023 model year. This special edition will turn heads with its striking bronze-colored wheels and illuminated door sills. But the Bronze Edition is more than just a pretty face &#8211; it also has some convenient features to make your life easier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inside, you&#8217;ll find mid-century modern-inspired seats with contrast stitching, giving the interior a unique and stylish look. The Bronze Edition also comes with a hands-free power lift-gate, making it easy to load and unload cargo when your hands are full. Adding a pair of 120-volt outlets means you can power up your devices on the go.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another great feature of the Bronze Edition is the seven-seat configuration with second-row captain&#8217;s chairs, providing plenty of room for passengers to stretch out and relax. Whether driving around town or heading out on a road trip, the Highlander Hybrid Bronze Edition is the perfect vehicle to add extra style and convenience to your life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Considering Purchasing?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Families searching for a three-row SUV with excellent fuel efficiency can rely on the Highlander Hybrid as a dependable choice. Toyota launched the latest iteration of the Highlander, its fourth generation a few years back. But, this year, the new edition blows its predecessors out of the water. The current Highlander Hybrid model competes with other hybrid three-row SUVs such as the Kia Sorento Hybrid and Ford Explorer Hybrid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stickerquicker.com\/blog\/?utm_source=Newsletter&amp;utm_medium=Email&amp;utm_campaign=March1\">blog<\/a> for more information on the best cars, trucks, and SUVs in 2023.
