I've been using the hybrid Highlander as a family car for three years and find its power completely adequate. In city traffic, it starts up quickly with fast response, and the electric motor's high torque ensures smooth acceleration. On weekends, taking the whole family out for trips, whether climbing small hills or cruising on the highway, it doesn't struggle at all. The system's total power is around 243 horsepower, with a combined fuel consumption of only 5-6 liters, balancing fuel efficiency and power. It's suitable for daily commuting and weekend trips—not as fast as a sports car but reliably sufficient. Once, fully loaded, it didn't struggle climbing hills in mountainous areas, with hill-start assist being very effective, and the acceleration smoother than the gasoline version. Overall, the driving experience is stable, with light and effortless steering control, making it ideal for family users like me who prioritize practicality and safety.
