Main theme: We share our initial impressions of the 2020 Toyota Highlander Hybrid, a midsized SUV with fuel economy that exceeds most smaller SUVs. We also discuss audience feedback on a previous answer about the use of lower octane fuel and how that answer may be slightly different for those driving in high-altitude locations.
Driven this week: 2020 Toyota Highlander Hybrid
