 I now have 4,000 miles on my 2015 Highlander Hybrid.  I traded in my Avalon Hybrid (a fantastic car) to gain AWD and more room for travel.  This is an extremely well thought out vehicle.  It is very quiet, quick and very comfortable.  The new generation info/entertainment system is excellent.  The latest navigation system is accurate and easy to use.  My wife drives a late Lexus RX 350.  The Highlander Hybrid is every bit its equal and in some respects superior.  In both city and highway driving it has no trouble meeting and exceeding the EPA mileage estimates. It is an exceptional long distance driver.  The third seat is for kids (or adults you don't like) but it is handy when needed.
