The 2012 Toyota Highlander Hybrid takes the best aspects of the regular Highlander (great utility, a flexible interior, plenty of V-6 power) and takes it to the next level with superior fuel economy.

Under the hood of the Highlander Hybrid, you get a 3.5-liter V-6 mated to a continuously variable transmission that works with a pair of electric motors. Combined output for this system is 280-horsepower, which are 10 more than the most powerful versions of the standard Highlander get. All-wheel drive is standard on the Highlander Hybrid, but instead of a standard all-wheel drive system, solely the electric motor is responsible for powering the rear wheels.

All told, this bumps up the 2012 Highlander Hybrid’s fuel economy to 28 mpg both in the city and on the highway, an improvement of 6 combined mpg over the normal Highlander. The Highlander Hybrid also comes with additional instrumentation which lets you know how the engine is performing, whether its operating on gas or electric power, and also reports overall gas mileage so you can keep close tabs on your fuel economy.

The exterior of the Highlander Hybrid also gets a few visual cues that distinguish it from normal Highlanders, like a unique grille, front bumper, and vertical fog lights up front. There is also blue tint on the head- and taillights.

There are two trim levels available on the three-row, seven-seat Highlander Hybrid, base and Limited, which keeps things simple. The Highlander Hybrid does add a few standard features not found on the standard base model, such as a power driver’s seat, Bluetooth® connectivity, a USB/iPod port, and a stowable second row center seat. Available options include navigation and rear DVD entertainment systems, leather upholstery, and an auto dimming rearview mirror.

Safety features include seven airbags, antilock brakes, an electronic stability system, and active front head restraints.

So if you want the utility of a crossover, but don’t want to sacrifice for it at the pump, breathe easy – the 2012 Toyota Highlander Hybrid is there for you.

*Incentive programs are subject to change at any time by the manufacturer.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

How can you determine what's in your best interest?

Secret 3
Additional Costs

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?
