In the 5 years since its last visit to the Vincentric winner’s circle, the Toyota Highlander Hybrid has made several improvements that vaulted it to the number one spot over other hybrids from Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Ford and Lexus. In addition to having the lowest repair costs, it scored well above average in fuel economy and cost of insurance. For buyers looking for crossover functionality with hybrid technology, the Highlander Hybrid is the best value of all.
