2025 Toyota Highlander Hybrid SUV Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2025 Toyota Highlander Hybrid comes in LE, XLE, Limited and range-topping Platinum trims. Eight-passenger seating, with a second-row bench, is standard on the LE trim. All others get standard second-row captain's chairs and seat seven passengers, although you can opt for a second-row bench seat for the XLE. All Highlander Hybrids have a four-cylinder engine and a hybrid system that combine to produce a total of 243 horsepower. Beginning in 2025, all-wheel drive is standard on all trims. Keep reading for our breakdown of the key features you get with each trim level.
Which Highlander Hybrid trim does Edmunds recommend?
Toyota hasn't released official information on the 2025 Highlander Hybrid as of this writing. We'll update our recommendation if anything changes, but based on last year's Highlander Hybrid we suggest going with the midrange XLE trim. It offers a good mix of features like heated front seats, a hands-free liftgate, wireless phone charging and a sunroof without sending the price soaring to the levels of the Limited and Platinum trims.
