HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 июл 2024
- The Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid comes equipped with an On-Demand AWD system. The Electronic On-Demand AWD on the hybrid model offers excellent fuel efficiency, start-off acceleration, handling, and stability. This system achieves stable performance by propelling the rear wheels with a rear motor, providing traction when needed in slippery conditions. The distribution of driving force between the front and rear wheels is precisely controlled, ranging from 100:0 to 20:80, ensuring optimal fuel efficiency and a comfortable driving performance.
Inside, a simple button press allows you to select Trail Mode! Trail Mode is designed to control wheel spinning by integrating AWD, brake, and drive force control systems. It proves beneficial when driving on uneven or bumpy roads.
But does it perform exceptionally well in snowy conditions? Witness the Toyota Highlander Hybrid AWD diagonal test in snow with Trail Mode and see for yourself!

Toyota AWD has improved a lot but better awds are available in the market. This will surely struggle in winter blizzard😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂..... Thanks for filming the awd capability🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for testing the non-Max model in the snow. Been difficult finding any info.
Its like dark blue and violet giving off its shades blue 💙 💜
Better than I was expecting honestly. Still needs more power from the rear electric motor.
What fuel economy were you seeing? (Winter temps usually punish hybrids)
Impressively efficient fuel economy ranging from 5.9L (achieved on more favorable roads in eco mode) to 9.7L in less optimal conditions. Considering the size of the vehicle, this performance is truly remarkable!
I have regular Highlander hybrid. The trail mode button really makes a big difference in slick situations. If you don’t press it IMO the AWD sucks.
Can you also test the hybrid max
If you have already done please post a link in reply thank you 😊
I will ask but that might be when the snow is gone! but we will be able to get the rollers out :)
@@CarQuestion thank you Bud you are a legend!
share the CQ love all over the world :P Thanks!
What is the loud clicking noise from the front end?
The brakes grabbing and letting go. Also, the engine if I remember correctly is direct injected which causes a noticeable clicking/tapping noise.
Indeed, the system extensively utilizes the brakes to provide traction where it's needed. While it may not quite match the noise of the Lexus LX, this feature is present in nearly all Toyota models, or trying to achieve advanced traction control across the lineup.
Ok. I thought that might be the noise folks are complaining about hear when turning with the new GHL'ers
@@CarQuestion
I heard a subtle 'toc toc' sound while driving once. Now that you mention it, it might be related to what you described.
Good design but the mirror look unlikely
Hard to tell if you don’t put proper tires on the vehicle. Are those dedicated winter rubber?
your joking right? ruclips.net/video/yraipmvCPM8/видео.htmlsi=hYV_Z2fsOFlBkzup&t=26
He said it right at the beginning
QUANDO ESTE “CARRÃO” DA TOYOTA ESTARÁ DISPONÍVEL NO BRASIL??
It is be putting too little power to the rear wheels even though front wheels are clearly slipping. The car doesn’t seem to sense this. It needs to push from the rear. This seems worse than the systems on RAV4/Venza. Toyota needs to update its control logic through a software update.
Great tests, but at this price point it would seem to be better to just get a Subaru Ascent and save some money. This vehicle really seems to struggle with these snow and ice tests....
That fuel efficiency is crushing the Ascent!
@@CarQuestion this is true. But if I lived in a northern climate it may be worth it to be able to get out of a sticky situation.
@@hakarumonoka You are joking right? He purpusefully foudn a bad snow buildup on an incline in slippery conditions and even tried to go slowly and not use momentum at all - to stress the system more. And he did it quite good! What else do you want?? No one is going to go offroading in a huge 3 row family SUV. Grand Highlander is even bigger than Assent. And there is no comparison - GH is head and shoulders better.
You are an Idiot
Why didn't you test the SNOW mode in the snow...?
there is no, snow mode! The snow mode is only available with vehicles with 2.4L 4-cylinder [T24A-FTS] engine.
@@CarQuestion oh! Well that’s weird.
@@mojojojo_BB no that's Toyota
This is not good....Toyota's hybrid system seems to struggle in snow
That horrible for 80k vehicle
The Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid is designed more as a family hauler than a Jeep Wrangler, and it represents a significant improvement over the Rav4 Hybrid system!
$80,000, where in Canada?
@@yahooskip in all our DESC you can find the price at the time we filmed of the vehicle we are driving:
