2011 Toyota Highlander Hybrid

The 2011 Toyota Highlander has revised styling and expanded standard equipment. The 2011 Highlander Hybrid has more horsepower yet better fuel economy. And the handling-tuned Sport model is history. All this adds up to a midcycle freshening for a vehicle last fully redesigned in model-year 2008. The 2011 Highlander’s basic form doesn’t change; this Toyota remains a carefully calculated compromise between a minivan and an SUV. Styling is more masculine than any minivan’s, and although it has three versatile seating rows, Highlander lacks a minivan’s easy sliding-side-door access and low step-in height. It doesn’t boast the brawny bearing or off-road prowess of a true SUV, yet it offers all-wheel drive and elevates your eyes level above traffic. And the 2011 Toyota Highlander Hybrid is the only gas-electric seven-seat crossover in the U.S.

2012 Toyota NS4 Plug-in Hybrid Concept

2012 Toyota NS4 Plug-in Hybrid Concept

After a surprisingly perfunctory Detroit Auto Show launch of the 2012 Toyota Prius C small hybrid hatchback, Toyota unveiled an all-new plug-in hybrid concept car, known as the NS4.

The company challenged multiple engineering teams to design an all-new mid-size sedan model for the global market in 2015, focusing on connectivity and the car's interaction with its passengers.

The winner was the 2012 Toyota NS4 Plug-in Hybrid Concept, a dedicated plug-in hybrid vehicle separate from the Prius hybrid family of vehicles.

We think the NS4 previews one of two vehicles: either it's a strong hint to the next all-new Toyota Camry mid-size sedan--likely to be launched around 2015, perhaps for a 2016 model year--or it's the first indication of an all-new range of plug-in hybrids under a new Toyota sub-brand.
