	Hybrid Cars - Toyota Highlander Hybrid
		The same reply might be given to the question, “How’s the 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid?” The HH is the seventh hybrid to hit the market, and the third hybrid SUV.
		Motor Trend calls the Highlander Hybrid “a bullet.” But for some hybrid shoppers, the pride of the Prius’s 60-mpg city rating far outweighs the thrill of the moving from zero-to-sixty in less than eight seconds in the Highlander Hybrid.
		The only difference in exterior looks between the conventional and hybrid Highlanders is a revised front grille and bumper, rear LED taillights (which use less power, have a longer life, and illuminate more quickly), extra chrome trim, 17-inch alloy wheels, and a tiny hybrid badge in rear.

	Toyota Highlander Hybrid (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Available in both 5- and 7-passenger configurations, the 2006 Highlander Hybrid was designed using a range of advanced technologies to create a vehicle with true SUV power and versatility, plus exceptional fuel economy and emissions performance.
		The Highlander Hybrid is a "full hybrid," meaning that it is capable of operating in separate gasoline or electric modes, as well as one that combines power from both.
		The Highlander Hybrid's V6 is based on the engine in the conventional Highlander but with significant revisions to promote smooth integration with the hybrid system.

	4X4REVIEW.COM: 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid
		Toyota has actually managed to overcome the extra weight of having a second engine and battery with the regenerative brakes and automatic engine shutoff, and at the same time, has made its hybrids about as clean-burning as a gas-burning car can be.
		To that group, Toyota added the Highlander, a fairly large people carrier with three rows of seats and considerable comfort — and 33 miles per gallon in the city, according to the EPA (two wheel drive).
		If you are looking at the Highlander, the hybrid option costs a couple to a few thousand dollars more, but it comes with a cool geek factor, much less pollution, and, by the way, good gas mileage and faster acceleration.

		Highlander Hybrid provides rapid acceleration with a 0-60 MPH time of just 7.3 seconds for the electric four-wheel-drive with intelligence (4WD-i) and delivers the best fuel economy ratings in the mid-size SUV segment.
		The Highlander Hybrid is defined as a high-power, high-voltage full hybrid, which means it is capable of operating in electric-only or gas engine-only mode as well as a mode that combines the power of the gas engine and electric motor.
		When the Highlander Hybrid is coasting or the brakes are applied, the electric motors function as generators, capturing kinetic energy that would normally be lost as heat through the brakes and transforming it into useable electricity to recharge the batteries.

	2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid - The Car Connection
		Finally (in the four-wheel drive Highlander Hybrid and the RX400h) the third motor is rear-mounted where it powers the rear wheels and generates current during braking.
		At low speeds the RX400h or Highlander Hybrid will creep along silently tugged along by its front electric motor and when the throttle is mashed the engine spins to its torque peak and just stays there as the CVT does its infinitely variable work.
		The base Highlander Hybrid is a bit better equipped than the regular base Highlander (which is, after all, available pretty well stripped and has a four-cylinder engine), while the Limited includes virtually everything you'd expect in a Lexus.

		Fitted with six-cylinder gas engines, the Highlander hybrid and Lexus RX 400h, which came out in April, are the largest full hybrids on the market and deliver the greatest torque and towing capacity.

	2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Review
		These are, of course, the conventional Highlander with a 230 hp V6 engine and a five-speed automatic transmission, and the Hybrid, with this engine in combination with a 123 kw electric motor to produce a total of 268 hp.
		The Hybrid, on the other hand, we used for around-town driving, where the economy of the hybrid technology is supposed to shine.
		I think there is a flaw in Toyota's thinking with its hybrids that are derived from other vehicles, as opposed to the Prius, which was a hybrid from the start.
