Reviews of the 2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid
-
CNET Review
The Good: The 2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid has an electric vehicle mode switch, and its hybrid system gives it particularly low emissions. A small LCD comes standard in the dashboard, offering useful information about the power train and fuel economy.
The Bad: The base stereo system sounds terrible, and the Highlander Hybrid is pricey. Fully optioned up, it is over $45,000. Some cabin materials feel cheap.
The Bottom Line: We failed to find much that was special about our 2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid and even with few options, it was expensive. Its hybrid system is its best feature, justifying most of the price. The Limited model is nicer in every way and can be optioned with navigation and a better stereo.
