There's no arguing that the automotive industry is moving towards more fuel efficient engines while still providing customers with enough passenger space for larger families. Our Spotlight is on this 2021 Toyota Highlander Hybrid AWD. In the US this is the Platinum trim, here in Canada it's technically the Limited trim with the Platinum package added on. Either way you slice it we're looking at the fully loaded 4th generation Highlander with the 2.5L 4 cylinder hybrid engine. Our test model is finished in Magnetic Grey Metallic paint.

For 2021 The Toyota Highlander received a new XSE trim, the sport-oriented trim for this mid-size three-row family crossover. All trims of the Highlander also receive the updated Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+ system which adds enhancements to the system found on the previous model year. We go over the tech changes when it comes to this safety tech. Standard features include LED headlights and LED fog lights, a keyless entry system with push button start, heated front seats, tri-zone automatic climate control, and a backup camera. Going with our Platinum we get premium LED headlights, front and rear parking sensors, a 360º camera system, a video rearview mirror, panoramic sunroof, heated and ventilated leather front seats with driver memory, heated second row captain's chairs, a 12.3" infotainment system with navigation and a 11-speaker JBL audio system.

We go over all the features and specs of the 2021 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Platinum and how it compares to some of the other crossovers we've tested in this segment over the years. We take this Highlander on a real-world road test to talk about our fuel economy test results and how the Highlander performs on the road as a daily driving family hauler. We go over some of the complaints we have about this vehicle and what we hope to see for the future of this Highlander and Toyota's overall hybrid rollout.
