I've been driving a Toyota Highlander for several years and find its engine-transmission combination quite reliable. The model comes with various configurations, commonly featuring a 2.0L turbocharged gasoline engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, delivering smooth power output and seamless acceleration without jerking, handling both city and highway driving with ease. The hybrid version uses a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine combined with an electric motor system, featuring an e-CVT transmission type, which makes driving exceptionally quiet and fuel-efficient, with almost imperceptible transitions between gas and electric modes. The overall design emphasizes durability, and I've hardly encountered any malfunctions. In terms of fuel consumption, the gasoline version averages around 10L/100km, while the hybrid version can go as low as 6L. Maintenance isn't too expensive either, and general service shops can handle it. On long trips with family, the engine responds quickly, and the transmission operates smoothly, making it feel very safe and dependable.
