I delighted in my time spent in the Toyota Highlander Hybrid, Platinum L4 all-wheel drive. I had a chance to drive across the state of Maryland. I drove from the Western parts in Hagerstown on I-70 and I-81 going into West Virginia on I-81. I also drove all the way to the Eastern part of the state on I-97. I had a chance to go over the Bay Bridge and go to Kent Island and my experiences were fascinating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Highlander is a three-row seven-passenger midsize SUV. The midsize SUV is one of the most competitive segments in auto sales. In the Highlander, you have room to seat six adults. The third-row seat could seat three children. There are two captain’s seats in the middle row and two passenger seats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have a lot of great amenities and comforts and features. The platinum model I drove had a panoramic roof, wireless, and charging. It had Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+. It has the pre-collision system and pedestrian detection, the full-speed radar cruise control, the lane departure alert. There’s steering assist, lane tracing assist, automatic high beams and so much more. You also have LED lighting and you have a real sumptuous and comfortable interior. What I loved is the 11 JBL speaker with subwoofer and amplifiers. I was able to listen to both Stop the Bullying<\/a> and Paradise<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You hear the strong dynamic range in the composition. The quality was close to what we did in the studio at Carnegie Mellon University. I drove over the Bay Bridge looking at the calmness of the water. That was refreshing in the Highlander Hybrid. I was able to do my prayer and meditation by the water in Annapolis Maryland. It was a great feeling with the nice comfort features. It comes with a 12.3-inch besides Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities. There is a 3500 pound towing capacity on the Highlander Platinum hybrid all-wheel drive. It also comes with 20-inch alloy wheels and a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that gets 243 horsepower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It gets a very fuel-efficient EPA rated 35 miles per gallon in the city and 34 miles per gallon on the highway. The base price of the highlander hybrid all-wheel drive is $50,315. Delivered it came to $51,808. The Highlander Hybrid is assembled in Princeton Indiana. For more information visit www.Toyota.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
