I've had the vehicle for six weeks. I average 30.1 MPG, combined city/highway. Drive to work is 15 miles in Sacramento, CA. If I push acceleration above 50 kW and do not anticipate stops ahead, mileage drops below 28 MPG. If I accelerate modestly and keep the power at or below 25 kW during acceleration, I consistently get better than 30 MPG overall. I verified the readings on the vehicles MPG meter at the gas pump - hand calculations. This is a fun vehicle to drive and the challenge is to out do the mileage from the day before. If you spend a lot of time driving above the hash marks on the kW meter, expect worse gas mileage - simple math. Fly like a rocket, pay for the gas!
I like it !

With 3600 miles on the vehicle, and about 6 weeks of ownership, my experience so far has been great. Gas mileage overall is 27.8 mpg, combined highway and city, and still increasing. Acceleration is strong, lots of torque, which surprises passengers and other drivers. This vehicle GOES. It's quiet, sure-footed, maneuverable, although some torque steer under heavy acceleration. The CVT transmission is always in the "right" gear, which is great for mountain driving. Regenerative braking limits brake heating and wear coming down long hills. Getting into the third row seats does require some agility. Retractable headrests help driver's vision out the rear.

I love everything about this SUV. The fuel economy, the quiet smooth ride, the seating capacity, the quality of build. The only thing I think Toyota is missing is a little better turning performance around turns. Other than that I LOVE this car.

This SUV provides a smooth yet powerful drive, even much to my surprise in the mountains of Colorado, which accounts for a least 50% of my driving. No problems whatsoever after over 11,000 miles of driving in all kinds of weather. The AWD seems better than any previous AWD vehicles I've own in the difficult winter weather driving conditions of Summit County Colorado.
Highlander Hybrid is awesome!

We love our hybrid Highlander! We feel safe and very comfortable in it. The engines are very powerful. We can really turn on the power when we need to. Smart design, good storage, efficent, and we're averaging 23 mpg. I'd like a little more fuel efficiency but we're happy to support the hybrid technology. The car is very quiet, too.
