I've been driving the Highlander Hybrid for almost a year now. The power delivery is exceptionally smooth during daily commutes, and the electric motor's intervention during traffic jams makes it quiet and effortless. On weekends, when I take my family of five plus luggage on the highway, the acceleration response is steady. The engine might struggle slightly on steep slopes, but overall it's more than adequate. The fuel efficiency is astonishing—a full tank can last for hundreds of kilometers. Compared to my previous gasoline car, the hybrid starts faster. The only minor drawback is slightly louder noise when fully loaded and climbing steep hills, but under normal driving conditions, it's completely fine. The key is that it's both fuel-efficient and eco-friendly. I think this car strikes a great balance between power and efficiency.

I use the Highlander Hybrid for taking my kids to school or shopping, and its spaciousness makes carrying people or cargo effortless. Driving on city roads, the acceleration is smooth, even better than expected. On the highway, the power remains steady during cruising. Occasionally, when fully loaded for trips, it feels a bit sluggish on steep slopes, but the impact is minimal. The fuel consumption is impressively low, averaging around 6 liters, saving a lot on gas. Overall, the power is sufficient for daily family use, unless you frequently drive on mountain roads or tow heavy loads. The Toyota system is reliable, and I feel confident driving it long-term.

As a young driver, I test-drove the Highlander Hybrid several times. The electric assist provides an incredibly fast push-back feeling when starting in the city, and the acceleration from 0 to 60 km/h is comfortable; however, the engine noise becomes noticeable during high-speed overtaking, and the power feels slightly weak. Compared to pure gasoline SUVs, it is more fuel-efficient but has moderate performance. I think the power is sufficient for daily commuting, but it falls short of sports cars for passionate driving or aggressive acceleration. If you prioritize practicality and low fuel consumption, this car meets the mark.
