The Toyota Grand Highlander, a hybrid SUV, faces the ultimate test of its all-wheel drive capabilities in this thrilling video from The Fast Lane Car. With winter upon us, it's time to see if this vehicle has what it takes to conquer the snow. The team puts it through a series of slip tests, intentionally getting the wheels stuck to see how the all-wheel drive system responds.
The Grand Highlander impresses right from the start with its front wheel slip test. Despite the front wheels being stuck, the rear axle engages quickly, providing the necessary torque to get the vehicle unstuck. This hybrid SUV proves that it can handle challenging situations with ease.
Moving on to the diagonal slip test, where one front wheel and one rear wheel are stuck, the Grand Highlander continues to shine. With the traction control system working its magic, the spinning wheels are effectively broken to free the vehicle. Even in this off-kilter situation, the Grand Highlander remains composed and delivers impressive results.
The team then explores the interior of the Grand Highlander, highlighting its spaciousness and luxurious features. With comfortable captain's chairs in the second row and a usable third row that even accommodates fully grown adults, this SUV offers a comfortable and practical experience for passengers. The cargo space is also commendable, with the third row folding down easily to provide ample room for storage.
Taking the Grand Highlander off-roading, the team tests its performance on various terrains. While it may not be designed for hardcore off-roading, this hybrid SUV proves its worth with its off-road drive mode and 8 inches of ground clearance. It tackles obstacles with confidence, thanks to its well-programmed traction control system.
Overall, the Toyota Grand Highlander hybrid impresses with its power, fuel efficiency, spaciousness, and off-road capability. It proves to be a winner in the all-wheel drive department, making it a suitable choice for those seeking a reliable and capable SUV for winter adventures.
