Toyota Highlander is eco-friendly Continued from pg. 1 On the transmission tunnel is a button marked `EV' for electric vehicle mode. It combines three electric motor/generators. MG1 is the generator driven by the engine that charges the battery pack and other motors as required. MG2 is the motor for front drive and MGR is a motor at the rear that drives the rear wheels. The best way to `see' it work is by toggling through the driver information screen until you come to a depiction of the system. As you accelerate, brake, coast, arrows show where the power is going. It's a lot like a video game in that your start using braking power regeneration and feathering the gas pedal on launch to keep gasoline use to a minimum. But be warned, you can find yourself looking at this thing too much and distracting yourself from the main task of watching the road ahead. In a brief drive from the Big City to cottage country, I got held up by a very long, stop and go traffic, stretch of road reconstruction. For about 10 miles I was able to move along at battery alone while hitting the breaks hard for as much re-gen power as possible. Not once did the engine come on which meant I was also not contributing to greenhouse gases by constant idling. You can see where it is a boon in downtown or commuter traffic. When I picked up the Highlander Hybrid, the average fuel consumption readout said 8.5L/100 km. Just over 120 km later I had it down to 7.9L/100 km. Given a full week and some judicious driving, I probably could have come close the official EnerGuide ratings. All Highlanders are now equipped as standard with Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) which combines all current driver aids such as stability control, traction control, antilock brakes, electronic brake force distribution into one system. Also standard is the on-demand all-wheel-drive system that integrates hillstart assist. The Toyota Highlander Hybrid and Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited now feature upgraded audio systems with USB audio input and XM Satellite Radio capability. Chief among these is the Bongiovi Acoustics Digital Power Station that is the latest example of how Toyota continues to deliver superior driving experiences with the very latest in in-vehicle entertainment. As the world's first 100 per cent digital audio processing system certified for automotive use, and offered as a genuine Toyota accessory, the Bongiovi Acoustics DPS produces premium sound quality at an unbeatable price of $280. There are two versions of the Highlander Hybrid based on trim with the Limited getting just about every option in the Toyota parts bin. Pricing was yet to be announced at this writing but should be similar to that of the 2010 version. 3 WHEELS October 07, 2010 $ 50 50 Value back* by mail on an American Express ® Branded Prepaid Reward Card when you buy four select Bridgestone Blizzak tires.
