Shop New Toyota Highlander Hybrid for Sale in Glendale, CA

The 2026 Toyota Highlander Hybrid is a three-row midsize SUV that pairs seating for seven with the fuel economy of a much smaller vehicle. Toyota of Glendale stocks it for shoppers across Glendale, Los Angeles, Pasadena, Hollywood, North Hollywood, and Van Nuys. Two things make the 2026 model worth a close look: all-wheel drive is now standard on every hybrid trim, and 2026 is the final model year for the hybrid Highlander. Toyota’s next-generation 2027 Highlander moves to an all-electric powertrain with no hybrid version.

Standard All-Wheel Drive and an EPA-Estimated 35 MPG Combined

Every 2026 Highlander Hybrid pairs a 2.5-liter DOHC four-cylinder engine with electric motor-generators. Net output is 243 horsepower, routed through an electronically controlled CVT. Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive is standard across the lineup. A dedicated electric motor drives the rear axle, adding traction the moment sensors detect slip, with no mechanical driveshaft between the axles.

The Hybrid XLE carries an EPA-estimated 35 mpg city, 35 mpg highway, and 35 mpg combined. The Hybrid Limited and Hybrid Platinum hold 35 mpg city and an EPA-estimated 34 mpg highway. Paired with a 17.1-gallon tank, the XLE’s ratings work out to an EPA-based range of roughly 600 miles per fill-up on regular 87-octane gasoline. The battery recharges itself through regenerative braking and the gasoline engine. There is nothing to plug in.

EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.

Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.

Three Trims, One Powertrain

The Hybrid XLE, Hybrid Limited, and Hybrid Platinum share the same hybrid system and the same standard all-wheel drive, so picking a trim is a question of equipment rather than capability. Second-row captain’s chairs are standard on all three, seating seven. A second-row bench seat is available on the Hybrid XLE and raises capacity to eight.

Cargo volume measures 16.0 cubic feet behind the third row, 48.4 cubic feet with the third row folded, and 84.3 cubic feet with both rear rows down. Pricing moves with equipment and market updates, so contact our sales team for current figures on the configuration you want.
