Meet the 2021 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Platinum, the fuel-sipping, leather-wrapped, three-row chariot for parents who want to save the planet **and** still have enough cargo space for three soccer bags, two Costco runs, and one forgotten science fair project.
This SUV is powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with electric motors for a combined **243 horsepower**. No, it will not win any drag races, but it will smugly cruise past gas stations at **35 mpg combined** The CVT transmission is smoother than your dads dance moves at a wedding, and with all-wheel drive, it handles snow like a minivan in tactical boots.
Inside, it is a high-tech playland disguised as a family hauler. A **12.3-inch touchscreen** sits proudly on the dash like it just got promoted, flanked by a JBL audio system that is either awesome or just okay depending on who you ask and how many decibels of Baby Shark they have endured. The Platinum trim means you get quilted leather seats, a panoramic moonroof for stargazing or kid meltdowns in natural light, and heated and ventilated seats because comfort should not be seasonal.
There is seating for seven, although calling the third row adult-friendly is like calling an airplane middle seat first class adjacent. Cargo space is generous when that row is folded, with enough room to haul a years worth of regret from saying yes to hosting Thanksgiving.
Tech features include Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, wireless charging, Wi-Fi hotspot, and enough driver-assistance gizmos to make you feel like the Highlander is your co-parent. Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+ is standard, featuring lane-keep assist, radar cruise, and pre-collision braking that will scream louder than your kids if you do not brake in time.
Towing capacity is a modest **3,500 pounds**, which is perfect for a small trailer, a couple of dirt bikes, or your hopes of ever having a weekend to yourself again.
Despite being an eco-warrior in a blazer, the Highlander Hybrid Platinum does have flaws. The third row is tight, the engine can get a bit buzzy under pressure, and the passenger seat weirdly lacks the same power adjustments as the drivers. But hey, nobody is perfectexcept maybe this things fuel economy.
In short, the 2021 Highlander Hybrid Platinum is the automotive equivalent of a Swiss Army knife in loafers. It is practical, comfortable, efficient, and packed with features, making it the SUV equivalent of a dad joke: reliable, a little cheesy, but always gets the job done.
