Searching for a family SUV that treats every seat like the best seat in the house—while keeping you confidently connected to your digital life? This New 2026 Toyota Highlander HYBRID LIMITED in striking 01L5 Heavy Metal brings together premium comfort, sophisticated technology, and Toyota hybrid efficiency in one exceptionally well-rounded package. Under the hood, a 2.5L I-4 DOHC engine with port/direct injection works in tandem with a hybrid system and Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) traction battery to deliver smooth, efficient performance. Spark ignition, a variable intake manifold, and hybrid electric motor starter pair with Auto stop-start to help optimize fuel use, while the CVTi-S continuously variable transmission with Sequential shift control keeps power delivery seamless. Automatic full-time AWD, Drive Mode Select, and Hill Start Assist Control (HAC) add welcome confidence in changing weather, and Regenerative brakes with four-channel ABS and Brake assist help reclaim energy while enhancing control. Inside, the Highlander HYBRID LIMITED is designed for real-world families who demand flexibility.

There’s three-row seating with second-row captain’s chairs, a fold-forward second-row seatback, and a 60/40 manual fold-into-floor third row, so you can adapt quickly from passengers to cargo. Both driver and front passenger enjoy 8-way power seats with heating and ventilation, plus 2-way power lumbar for the driver and memory settings for the door mirrors. Leather front and rear seat upholstery, SofTex leatherette rear seat surfaces, and leatherette door trim create an upscale feel, while simulated wood and metal-look accents, a leather steering wheel, and leather and metal-look gear shifter finish the cabin with a refined touch. Where this Highlander truly separates itself is in its seamless smartphone integration and in-vehicle connectivity. Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smart device wireless mirroring is at the core of the infotainment experience, letting you bring your familiar apps, maps, messages, and playlists directly to the 12.3-inch primary Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen without plugging in a cable.

Whether you rely on Apple CarPlay or prefer Android Auto, both systems are supported wirelessly, making it easier to keep your phone in your pocket or bag and your attention on the road. Voice interaction is deeply integrated: Toyota Assistant provides voice-activated audio controls and climate control, so you can adjust settings or pull up your favorite content with simple spoken commands. Combined with the Toyota App and Remote Connect (3-year trial), you can interact with the vehicle from your smartphone, including smart device remote start and remote-activated interior climate preconditioning. Audiophiles will appreciate the JBL audio system with 11 speakers, a 1200W amplifier, and Clari-Fi digital signal processing to help restore detail in compressed audio sources. Bluetooth wireless audio streaming, AM/FM/SiriusXM satellite radio (with a 3-month trial), and external memory control round out your entertainment options.

Driver Easy Speak allows front-seat occupants to communicate clearly with passengers in the rear via the audio system, making family conversations more relaxed. The technology story continues with a fully digital, configurable gauge cluster display (12.3-inch full gauge cluster screen) that provides a redundant digital speedometer, ECO feedback display gauge, traction battery level gauge, and power/regeneration information. Over the air updates help keep key systems current, while Service Connect (with up to 10-year trial) supports service interval reminders. Comfort is further amplified by Automatic climate control with dual-zone front settings and a dedicated rear climate control system with separate controls, rear under-seat and headliner/pillar ducts, and a cabin air filter. Remote Connect (3-year trial) adds remote interior climate preconditioning, making hot summers and cold winters easier to manage.

A heated steering wheel, auto-dimming rear view mirror, and first and second-row sliding and tilting glass sunroof with sunshade contribute to an upscale driving experience. In terms of practicality, the Highlander HYBRID LIMITED is ready for everyday life. There are 14 beverage holders, multiple door bins, seatback pockets, and a full floor console with covered storage. The cargo area features a roll-up cargo cover, tie-downs, concealed storage, a cargo light, and carpeted floor. Roof rails increase utility for larger gear, and the Power liftgate rear cargo door with proximity cargo access, trunk/hatch auto-latching, and Tailgate/power door lock functionality add everyday convenience. Safety and driver assistance are extensive. Toyota Safety Sense™ technologies include Lane Departure Alert (LDA) w/Steering Assist, Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Tracing Assist (LTA), Curve Speed Management, and Automatic High Beam (AHB) headlights.

The Pre-Collision System (PCS) w/Intersection Support, plus Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian (Daytime & Low-Light) & Bicycle (Daytime) Detection, Emergency Steering Assist, and Vehicle Sway Warning provide multiple layers of support. Blind Spot Monitor (BSM), Rear Cross Traffic Brake (RCTB), Intelligent Clearance Sonar (ICS) front and rear parking sensors, a rear mounted camera, and Trailer sway control further bolster confidence. Eight airbags, including driver knee and front passenger seat cushion airbags, curtain airbags for all three rows, and an airbag occupancy sensor, are complemented by an immobilizer, security system, and SafetyConnect® (5-year minimum) for emergency SOS and vehicle tracking. Exterior details underscore both style and function: LED low and high beam projector headlights with Auto on/off control, LED brake lights and daytime running lights, LED front fog lights, a rear lip spoiler, roof rails, and 20 x 7.5-inch chrome aluminum wheels with P235/55VR20 all-season tires.

The 01L5 Heavy Metal paint, body-coloured bumpers and mirrors, chrome side window trim, and black grille with chrome surround give this Highlander a modern, upscale appearance. With just 3 kilometres on the odometer, this New 2026 Toyota Highlander HYBRID LIMITED in Heavy Metal is ready to deliver hybrid efficiency, three-row comfort, advanced safety, and standout smartphone integration—especially through its wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities—every time you drive.
