The Highlander Hybrid handles pretty much the way you'd expect a midsize crossover/SUV to handle, meaning it is tuned more for comfort and utility than performance. The hybrid powertrain is pretty transparent in use - other than the silence that greets you when you press the start button, there are few clues when you're under way that you're driving a hybrid vehicle. Acceleration, while not blazingly fast, is very good for a vehicle of this size and weight, and the power is delivered very smoothly thanks to the CVT transmission.inline_mediumwraptextright26793140/green/reviews/1002_2010_toyota_highlander_hybrid_ltd1002_14_z+2010_toyota_highlander_hybrid_lTD+front_three_quarter_view.jpgTrue
