The Highlander Hybrid will feature an array of amenities owners have come to expect in their mid-size SUV. This includes standard air conditioning, power windows, mirrors, and door locks, cruise control, tilt steering wheel, and a deluxe 3-in-1 AM/FM cassette/CD audio system with six speakers. A multi-function display is conveniently located just beneath the speedometer that calculates and displays various mechanical and performance information including instant and average fuel consumption, outside temperature and low tire pressure warning system.
"The Highlander Hybrid will join Prius in the Toyota lineup in the second half of 2005," said Wearing. "This duo will not only broaden the demographic of hybrid owners, it will firmly establish this important new Toyota technology in the hearts and minds of mainstream consumers."
