2022 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER HYBRID BRONZE EDITION - GOING FOR GOLD WITH BRONZE

EV Channels Review

The reviewer revisits the Toyota Highlander Hybrid, this time focusing on the 2022 Bronze Edition, built upon the XLE Hybrid AWD trim. While praising its familiar comfort, reliability, and excellent fuel economy (averaging 7.9L/100km), the review highlights specific pros and cons of the Bronze Edition. Positives include unique bronze accents, 1500W inverters in the second row and rear, captain's chairs for the second row, and standard safety features. However, the reviewer expresses disappointment with the lack of a flip-up rear glass, the slow power tailgate, and the heated steering wheel only warming the sides. The 18-inch bronze wheels, while aesthetically pleasing, are deemed too small. The reviewer suggests that for a $4,000 premium over the XLE, the Bronze Edition offers notable extras, but for an additional $4,000 on top of the Bronze Edition (totaling $57,749 CAD for the Platinum), features like the panoramic roof, head-up display, larger infotainment screen, and bird's eye view camera might be a better value for some buyers. Ultimately, the Bronze Edition is recommended for those who appreciate its unique styling and features, and don't require the absolute top-tier options.
