Since Toyota eliminated the LE option, the 2025 Toyota Highlander Hybrid now starts at $47,470, which is about $5,000 more than the previous year. The least expensive type is the non-hybrid Highlander, which starts at $40,970. However, most of its higher trims cost extra. Every Highlander XSE will get a 25th Anniversary Edition and all-wheel drive as standard in 2025. The regular Highlander XSE will also get a 12.3-inch digital gauge panel. As with many other Toyota models, the mid-size Highlander SUV offers both hybrid and non-hybrid drivetrain choices. However, for the 2025 model year, the hybrid costs a lot more to buy than it did the year before. Toyota has stopped making the Highlander Hybrid’s base trim, LE, which cost $42,420 when it was first released. The hybrid’s base model, the XLE, now costs about $5,000 more than it did before, at $47,470. The Toyota Highlander, which isn’t a hybrid, will still be the most affordable choice for people who want to buy one. For 2025, that is the LE trim, which starts at $40,970. The price of the fast XSE and the top-of-the-line Platinum goes up a lot, but not for the XLE ($44,120) and the Limited ($48,225). The first one starts at $47,790, which is $2,325, and the second one at $53,375, which is $2,200 more. There are fewer trim options for the Highlander Hybrid. The Limited and Platinum models are also available. They start at $51,925 and $55,125, respectively. Both of these prices are $2250 more than what they would have been in 2024, but front-wheel drive is no longer standard. Both gas and electric Highlanders now come with all-wheel drive as standard. For the 2025 model year, the XSE will now come with a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel as standard. All hybrid cars will also have Toyota’s “Beyond Zero” badge on them, and you can choose from two new paint colors: Heavy Metal and Cement. The Highlander’s anniversary version is based on the hybrid-powered Limited and comes with extra features, color choices, and special badges on the outside to honor the car’s 25th birthday.
