Upscale Limited and Platinum models provide the most creature comforts, but compared with the features proffered by the Palisade or Telluride, they fall short. Materials throughout the cabin are much improved over those in the last-generation Highlander. Passenger space is more generous here than in the CX-9, but not as spacious as in the Chevrolet Traverse, especially in the third row. Base L and mid-range LE models can seat eight passengers using bench seats in the second and third rows, but a seven-seat arrangement with second-row captain's chairs is available on higher trims. Interior, Comfort, and Cargoįor 2020, the Highlander gets an interior makeover to match its updated exterior styling. When the hybrid visits our office, we'll be putting its fuel efficiency to the test on the same route. We've tested the standard Highlander on our 200-mile highway fuel-economy route, where it delivered the 28 mpg. Hybrid models carry higher ratings, with front-wheel-drive variants earning 36 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway. The EPA estimates that the 2020 Highlander V-6 will deliver up to 29 mpg on the highway when equipped with front-wheel drive all-wheel drive cuts that by 2 mpg. But pitting these utes against each other, the Toyota comes out on top in terms of fuel economy, and the Highlander Hybrid's starting price of $39,320 is a whopping $14,155 less than the Explorer Hybrid's. Potential buyers in this segment will perhaps know that the Ford Explorer comes in hybrid form, too. At our test track, the hybrid model made it to 60 mph in 7.3 seconds. The tradeoff likely will come in acceleration performance, both due to the hybrid's lower horsepower rating and the fact that this model uses a CVT instead of the nonhybrid's eight-speed automatic. Leveraging Toyota's hybrid expertise, this powertrain provides buyers with something more fuel efficient than the standard model.
