Toyota Highlander Specs, Engines & Dimensions

Toyota Highlander Engines and Transmissions

This Toyota Highlander engine lineup splits by fuel and drivetrain, not by a single horsepower figure. The 2.4 AT is a gasoline five-door SUV with an automatic and front-wheel drive. Hybrid choices are the 2.5 CVT with a variable transmission and all-wheel drive, and the 2.5 AT E-Motion, a hybrid automatic with all-wheel drive.

Toyota Highlander Trims and Equipment

Toyota Highlander trim levels for the hybrid 2.5 CVT include E-Motion and E-Xclusive equipment. Those labels sit on that five-door SUV configuration, so they are not the same thing as the 2.5 AT E-Motion powertrain. Weigh cabin finish and convenience features on each trim rather than assuming equipment is shared across the generation.

Toyota Highlander Battery

Toyota Highlander battery capacity belongs with the two hybrid examples. Both the 2.5 CVT and the 2.5 AT E-Motion use a metal hydride battery to buffer electric assist. That pack is there for smooth, everyday hybrid running, storing energy from the engine and regenerative braking, so you feel electric assist without treating battery size as an EV range number.
