car_truckFor 2023, Toyota sharpened the Highlander Hybrid’s formula with a more sophisticated infotainment backbone, expanded cloud-based services, and refined driver-assistance tuning—improvements you can feel immediately in this Pre-Owned Highlander Hybrid Platinum AWD finished in Wind Chill Pearl. The result is an SUV that blends flagship polish with everyday versatility, now wrapped in a crisp pearlcoat sheen and riding confidently on distinctive 20-inch chrome alloy wheels.
Under the hood, a refined hybrid system pairs a 2.5L I‑4 with electric motor assistance and an e‑CVT to deliver smooth, quiet acceleration and impressive efficiency. With standard all-wheel drive and regenerative braking, it’s tailored for Canadian seasons and long weekends alike, returning an estimated 6.6 L/100 km in the city and 6.8 L/100 km on the highway.
The chassis uses independent suspension at all corners with gas‑pressurized shocks for composed road manners, while laminated glass and careful sound insulation help the cabin remain calm even on coarse pavement.
Inside, the Platinum trim brings an upscale ambiance that feels thoughtfully crafted rather than simply optioned. Leather seating welcomes you with heat and ventilation up front, a heated steering wheel stands ready for frosty mornings, and second‑row captain’s chairs provide lounge-like comfort with easy access to a flexible third row. A broad sliding glass sunroof opens the cabin to sky and light, ambient illumination sets an evening mood, and memory settings for the driver seat and mirrors streamline every departure. Practical touches abound: a power liftgate, roll‑up cargo cover, multiple 12V and 120V outlets, five USB ports, and ingenious storage spots that keep devices and day‑to‑day essentials neatly stowed.
Technology takes a confident step forward.
A vivid 12.3‑inch touchscreen anchors Toyota’s latest multimedia platform with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, backed by a premium JBL system with 11 speakers and a robust 1200W amplifier enhanced by Clari‑Fi processing. Drive Connect with a three‑year trial brings cloud navigation, real‑time traffic, and an Intelligent Assistant that understands natural voice prompts, while over‑the‑air updates help features stay current. Remote Connect adds convenient app‑based functions like remote start and climate preconditioning, and Qi wireless charging tidies the console.
Safety reflects Toyota’s most advanced thinking. Full‑Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Tracing Assist, and Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist work in concert to reduce fatigue on long journeys. Pre‑Collision System adds low‑light pedestrian and bicycle detection as well as intersection support, while Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross Traffic Brake add confidence in busy lots.
Parking is made easier by Intelligent Clearance Sonar and a rear camera, complemented by Automatic High Beams and LED lighting for crisp nighttime visibility.
Showing just 26,548 kilometres, this Highlander Hybrid Platinum presents as a carefully used, meticulously equipped family SUV with the right mix of efficiency, space, and elevated comfort. In Wind Chill Pearl with top‑tier amenities and Toyota’s benchmark reliability, it stands ready to elevate the routine and make every mile feel considered.
