The 2026 Toyota Highlander Hybrid has a combined fuel economy of 6.7L per 100 kilometres in both its AWD and FWD models, while the 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV’s combined fuel economy is 8.1L per 100 kilometres. While this might make it seem as though the 2026 Toyota Highlander Hybrid is the better choice for fuel economy, you also have to remember that, as a plug-in hybrid, the 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV can also run on purely electricity, and can do so for up to 53 kilometres before needing to use a single drop of fuel. This means that if you’re more of a city driver and are doing trips around London, ON, that are under 53 kilometres more often than not, the 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV is much more fuel efficient, as you’ll merely need electricity to get you around.
