About the Toyota Highlander XU70

The fourth-generation Toyota Highlander (XU70) marked the model's official debut in the UK and European markets, exclusively offered with a self-charging hybrid powertrain. Built on the TNGA-K platform, it provides a more car-like driving experience than traditional body-on-frame SUVs while maintaining a spacious seven-seat layout. The 2.5-litre Atkinson-cycle engine works in tandem with front and rear electric motors to provide intelligent all-wheel drive (AWD-i) without a mechanical link to the rear axle. It is highly regarded for its refinement, safety features, and exceptional fuel economy for a vehicle of its size.
