Is the 2020 Highlander Hybrid Eligible for Green License Plates?
2 Answers
2020 Highlander Hybrid is eligible for green license plates. Here is the relevant information: Introduction to the Highlander: The Toyota Highlander features a spacious body with innovative and roomy interiors, making it a large SUV in the Toyota lineup. The Highlander comes standard with top-tier safety equipment in its class, offering a quiet ride and exceptional responsiveness, combining versatility with driving comfort. Exterior: The new Highlander has noticeable exterior changes. The front fascia features a smaller hexagonal grille, with a silver chrome trim connecting the emblem above the grille, enhancing the overall harmony and completeness of the front design.
Oh, you're asking a very practical question. I was also researching license plate policies recently. The 2020 Highlander Hybrid can't get a green license plate because green plates are specifically for new energy vehicles, like pure electric cars or plug-in hybrids that can be charged. But this Highlander hybrid is a standard hybrid model that relies on the fuel engine to generate electricity and can't be charged externally, so it can only get a regular blue plate. I've checked several times at the dealership while helping a friend—although this hybrid is more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly, according to China's current regulations, it doesn't qualify as a new energy vehicle. If you really want to save money and enjoy the benefits of a green plate, such as exemption from purchase tax or no driving restrictions, I recommend looking directly at plug-in hybrid versions of the Highlander or newer models from other brands. Anyway, the license plate issue must be considered in light of the policies—don't just focus on the model name to avoid pitfalls when buying a car. Many people overlook this, thinking hybrids automatically qualify for green plates, only to end up wasting time and having to switch cars later.
