Love this SUV
by iowan on 5/26/2026 3:49:19 PM
Bought our 2022 Hylander Hybrid new and it now has 94k on it. It is a joy to drive, gotten as high as 42 mpg but 35-37 is average. Very comfortable and has great power to do whatever we want it to do. We put Michelin Cross Climate II tires on it and I highly recommend doing so. I have two complaints, the rain sensing intermittent wipers have been a pain and basically don’t work even after a windshield replacement under warranty, and also when braking some times it just feels like things let loose and you have to quickly apply more brake pressure. I’m sure this has something to do with the battery re-gen process but it can catch you off guard. When we stop driving so much this will get traded in for a new one. - 5.0

by Yoshi on 2/18/2026 9:00:08 PM
Car operates very well with towing my sailboat of 27 ft, and enough cargo space to put all related hardware for the boat. Fuel efficiency is very good due to hybrid features.
