AT NIGHT: Toyota Highlander Hybrid Bronze ED AWD - Interior & Exterior Lighting Overview
The new Highlander Hybrid Bronze Edition, available in either Cement (exclusive to Bronze Edition), Wind Chill Pearl (new for 2022 Highlander) or Midnight Black Metallic exterior colors, includes bronze-colored accents on the exterior and interior, including 18-inch bronze wheels, bronze interior stitching, illuminated bronze door sills and mid-century, modern-inspired SofTex-trimmed seats with fabric insert and bronze stitching. Also exclusive to the Highlander Hybrid Bronze Edition are unique floor and cargo mats embroidered with a special bronze logo.
Building off of the popular Highlander Hybrid XLE grade, unique standard features of the new Bronze Edition include:
Hands-free power liftgate
Rain-sensing wipers
Digital rearview mirror
1500 W. power outlets
Puddle lamps with Highlander logo
In-dash ambient lighting
Driver seat memory with 10-way power seat
The Highlander Hybrid Bronze Edition is also a glimpse into new offerings for 2022 Highlander, overall. This includes Wind Chill Pearl now added to exterior color palate (replacing Blizzard Pearl) and the addition of height/tilt power passenger seat adjustments, which will also be standard on 2022 Highlander XLE and above.
The 2022 Highlander Bronze Edition gets a grip on the road with a choice of FWD or a unique AWD system for Highlander Hybrid grades. For customers looking for additional grip, the 2022 Highlander Hybrid’s AWD system employs a separate rear-mounted electric motor to power the rear wheels when needed. Like the hybrid powertrain itself, the AWD is designed to work seamlessly and transparently.
The Toyota Hybrid System in the 2022 Highlander Hybrid combines a high-efficiency 2.5-liter DOHC four-cylinder engine with two electric. The gas engine employs Variable Valve Timing-intelligent system by Electric motor (VVT-iE) on the intake camshaft, and VVT-i on the exhaust camshaft. A variable cooling system (electric water pump, electric thermostat) and a fully variable oil pump help to further enhance engine efficiency.
The bottom line is an eye opener for the efficiency-minded: 243 total system horsepower, up to an EPA-estimated 36 combined MPG and a towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds. The hybrid is available in either front-Wheel Drive (FWD) or All-Wheel Drive (AWD).
The transaxle mounts the electric motors (MG1 and MG2) coaxially rather than in-line, and the resulting smaller and lighter package reduces frictional losses. The gas engine and MG2 work in concert to deliver dynamic performance, while both MG1 and MG2 charge the hybrid battery.
To reduce the transaxle’s size and weight, the reduction gear is a parallel shaft gear rather than a planetary gear, and a multi-function gear integrates the power-split planetary ring gear, parking gear and counter-drive gear. Computer integration and a smaller, lighter power stack installed directly above the transaxle help reduce energy transmission losses.
The battery pack is small enough to be installed under the second-row seats, so it does not take up any cargo or passenger space. This means Highlander Hybrid drivers get all the benefits of a hybrid powertrain without sacrificing much-needed cargo room for everyday activities.

2023 Honda CR-V EX-L -- Detailed Look
Special thank you to:
East Coast Honda
8756 A Highway 17 Bypass South
Myrtle Beach, SC 29588
888-546-5571

Refined 1.5-Liter Turbo Powertrain on EX and EX-L
The updated and refined direct-injected 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine under the hood of EX and EX-L grades demonstrates that even as Honda heads into the electrified era, the company continues to make important improvements in the efficiency and performance of its internal combustion engine technology.
Multiple enhancements to the 1.5-liter turbo provide a more refined driving experience and enhanced power delivery. Running on regular unleaded gas, the engine produces 190 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm (SAE net) and maintains peak power over a broader range at high revs than before. Its 179 lb.-ft. (SAE net) peak torque spans 1,700-5,000 rpm, arriving 300-rpm earlier than before for a more responsive feel.
VTEC variable valve timing is now used on the exhaust side of the twin-cam head. This helps improve exhaust efficiency and optimizing valve overlap, efforts that contribute to improved fuel efficiency.
The 6th generation of Honda's most popular SUV, the all-new 2023 Honda CR-V is perfect for daily life or weekend escapes, with a rugged and sophisticated design inside and out, a more spacious interior, increased utility and a more advanced hybrid system for a sportier driving experience.
Benefitting from longer and wider premium proportions and a significantly broader stance, CR-V further advances the new Honda design direction with a low horizontal beltline, a long, powerful front end and clean detailing. Its strong new looks are backed up by a more fun-to-drive personality, more confident, refined dynamics and increased power and capability.
The all-new 2023 CR-V is available in four trim levels, including the new hybrid-powered and even more boldly styled CR-V Sport and Sport Touring as the new top-of-the-line models in the CR-V lineup. With a new, more advanced hybrid-electric system, they offer the most fuel-efficient and sporty driving experience and serve as a key step in Honda's electrification strategy, eventually to represent up to 50% of CR-V's annual sales.
Inside, the new CR-V is quieter, more comfortable and more versatile, with the most cabin and cargo space ever in a CR-V. With premium, high-quality materials, upscale touches and improved visibility, CR-V's sporty, modern and spacious interior is a fresh take on Honda's new interior design direction, introduced with the 2022 Civic and found in the 2023 HR-V. The wide instrument panel features clean surfacing and a striking metal honeycomb mesh that conceals the air vents for an uncluttered and harmonious look. New front Body Stabilizing Seats reduce fatigue and improve posture.
Intuitive and intelligent technology also has been smartly integrated into the cabin. Standard features include a digital instrument display, a 7-inch touchscreen audio system with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, and USB charging ports for the driver and passenger. CR-V EX-L and Sport Touring feature a 9-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone integration, plus wireless phone charging. For rear seat passengers, two charging ports are standard on Sport and Sport Touring.
CR-V comes standard with new and advanced active and passive safety technology to maintain its reputation as a leader in safety performance, including expanded and improved Honda Sensing® safety and driver-assistive technology with a new front sensor camera and radar system. Next-gen front airbags, as well as new front knee and rear side-impact airbags, also are standard. An updated version of Honda's Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure is designed to exceed current and future frontal crash tests, including oblique collisions.
The all-new 2023 CR-V and CR-V hybrid models are manufactured in three plants in Ohio, Indiana and Canada using domestic and globally-sourced parts, continuing the legacy of Honda's commitment to build products close to the customer. CR-V is America's best-selling crossover since 1997 and the best-selling Honda vehicle every year since 2017.
