As I said in my previous post, there seems to be many “car of the year” press releases coming out lately. The trend continues with MotherProof.com including a hybrid category in its Family Car of the Year awards. The 2009 Toyota Highlander Hybrid was named as the Family Hybrid of the Year and the 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid was given an honorable mention.

“Mama Says: The Hi-Hy’s plentiful cargo space gave us the biggest thrill. For an SUV that doesn’t look or feel big, this baby can pack a lot in (including hybrid technology). We have an ongoing quandary because we don’t love huge cars, but a teeny car just doesn’t cut it anymore. The Hi-Hy fit all our family gear with room to spare.” (Source: PR Newswire)

The 2009 Highlander Hybrid has 27 mpg city and 25 mph highway EPA mileage estimates and a $34,700 MSRP.
