2025 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER HYBRID 25TH EDITION: CELEBRATING 25 YEARS

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Toyota Highlander Hybrid 25th Anniversary Edition celebrates a quarter-century of the model with a special trim based on the Limited. While it boasts a refined hybrid powertrain delivering 243 net horsepower and an estimated 35 MPG combined, the reviewer notes a lack of significant performance upgrades over standard models. Key features include a 12.3-inch infotainment system, heated and ventilated front seats, and a comfortable, spacious interior, particularly in the first two rows. However, the reviewer highlights notable omissions for a vehicle priced around $55,000, such as the lack of heated second-row captain's chairs and connectivity options in the third row. Despite these drawbacks, the Highlander Hybrid remains a solid, smooth-riding, and practical choice for families, with the 25th Edition adding cosmetic enhancements like special badging and illuminated door sills to mark the milestone.
