2012 Toyota Highlander Performance and Handling Specifications
"Toyota's 2012 Highlander crossover SUV continues to impress with its abilities, features and resale value," according to Kelley Blue Book in a review of the 2012 Toyota Highlander. The 2012 Toyota Highlander has three distinct powertrains that improve versatility and performance, depending on what you are looking for in an SUV. The 2.7L four-cylinder is perfect for customers that will use the Highlander primarily as a lost-cost daily driver, commuting to work and/or going on road trips with family, with an impressive fuel economy of 25 MPG hwy. The 3.5L V6 engine is more apt for drivers who want a little more speed and sprightliness in a crossover, making highway passes and trips into town a pleasure. "The V6 moves the 4,000-pound crossover with a briskness that makes this Toyota seem smaller than it is," reports Edmunds.com. "The fact that this powertrain is also among the most fuel-efficient in the category is an added bonus." The V6 gets an impressive 24 MPG hwy and can come equipped with two-wheel drive (better for street driving) or four-wheel drive (for those planning on heading off-road). But for more urban drivers who place a strong emphasis on "going green" and conserving fuel, Toyota also offers a hybrid powertrain option that achieves 28 MPG in both the city and on the highway. This configuration is powered by a 3.5L V6 engine backed by a nickel-metal hydride battery that achieves a net 280 horsepower.
