Toyota has launched its new Highlander, the first 7-seater self-charging hybrid electric SUV, to the Irish market, writes Trish Whelan.
Highlander is exclusively offered as a hybrid and comes with all-wheel drive and a 2-tonne towing capacity.
With a powerful stance and big 20-inch alloy wheels, Highlander blends the sophisticated looks of an urban SUV with the rugged appeal of an off-road vehicle.
Toyota claim the third-row seats have easy access for two adults. Accessed by a kick-sensor operated power tailgate, the 631 litre boot space (with third row folded down) expandable to 838 litres with third and second row seats fully flat.
With 244hp from its 2.5 Hybrid Dynamic Force engine, Highlander has C02 emissions and fuel consumption from 149g/km (WLTP) and 6.6 L/100km respectively. The vehicle comes equipped with the latest connectivity and safety features.
Pricing starts from €63,995 or €507 per month. Highlander will be in dealer showrooms from January but customers can place orders now. With limited supply for Q1, Toyota is advising customers to speak to their local dealer to avoid disappointment.
