Understanding the 2022 Toyota Highlander MPG rating with and without the hybrid engine is a key part of researching this acclaimed SUV. The Highlander does so many things well it makes an easy choice when families need a roomy model near Worcester, Auburn, or Shrewsbury, MA.
The recent introduction of a hybrid power plant only furthers the Highlander’s appeal. We’re laying out the 2022 EPA-estimated MPG ratings for this SUV in both its powertrain setups. If you’d like, come visit Harr Toyota to test drive the hybrid and the non-hybrid Highlander!
Your engine options for the 2022 Highlander are a 3.5L V6 and a 2.5L hybrid. The hybrid is the easy choice if you want to emphasize fuel economy, yet the V6 still does a great job of retaining efficiency.
The hybrid power plant returns an EPA-estimated 36 city/35 highway MPG when you have the SUV in a Front-Wheel Drive setup.* The Front-Wheel Drive architecture with the V6 motor achieves an EPA-estimated 21 city/29 highway MPG.*
With the V6, the 2021 Highlander registers as an Ultra Low Emission Vehicle 70. Choosing the hybrid bumps that emission rating to a Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle 30.
Finally, the Stop and Start Engine System of the V6 helps reduce fuel consumption by shutting off the engine each time you come to a complete stop, such as at a stoplight. The engine boots up again on its own once you release the brake pedal.
Getting around local streets in comfort is the other goal of the Toyota Highlander. During a test drive, you’ll find the V6 and the hybrid engines both still have enough juice to make passing maneuvers or merging onto highways simple.
The 3.5L V6 makes 295 horsepower and 263 lb-ft of torque. The hybrid engine has 243 system net horsepower, which is the combined power generated from the gas-powered engine and the electric engine.
The V6 is mated to an 8-speed Electronically Controlled automatic Transmission (ECT), while the hybrid setup opts for an Electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (ECVT). As for the drivetrain, your options are a standard Front-Wheel Drive or an arrangement with even more grip and all-weather-readiness: the available Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD (All-Wheel Drive).
The Highlander is all about conforming to your needs near Worcester, Auburn, or Shrewsbury, Massachusetts. Want a V6 engine? You can have that. Want a hybrid engine? You can have that as well.
