For some reason, Toyota has always decided to not sell its biggest SUV, the Highlander, in the European market. This time things are changing and from now on the 7-seats SUV will be available in the old continent, even though the only configuration offered is going to be the \u201cFull Hybrid Electric\u201d one.<\/p>\n
Toyota Highlander has always been a good-selling vehicle in the American market, but Toyota always thought that a SUV this big (4,950 mm long) wouldn\u2019t be able to conquer the small streets of the European cities. The market has changed a lot recently, as we saw cars like Peugeot 5008, Skoda Kodiaq and Nissan X-Trail having a discrete success.<\/p>\n
The single hybrid powertrain available combines a 2,500cc petrol engine with two electric engines, one on the front and one on the back (the car is exclusively going to have an all-wheel drive traction). The power generated from the three engines combined is going to be 244 HP and four driving modes are going to be available \u2013 ECO, NORMAL, SPORT and TRAIL.<\/p>\n
