2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited Road Test
Toyota sensibility just got a whole lot more sensible thanks to the availability of hybrid technology in the mid-size Highlander SUV. Having previously tested Ford's Escape hybrid compact 'ute and the Lexus RX400h hybrid sport utility I am becoming quite a fan of this technology, which seamlessly combines gas and electrical power sources. Provided the sophisticated technology proves to be reliable and sustainable - and early indicators are favourable - hybrid systems may be the best option available today to maximize fuel economy while minimizing emissions.
