The all new 2021 Toyota Highlander hybrid. Big SUV energy. Small car energy footprint.

2021 toyota highlander hybrid02

As we all look to the future it has become clear that our motoring needs are changing. You can make changes NOW that will have great impact on your energy footprint whilst not altering your day to day experience.

The all new ranges coming from Toyota are giving us all new options.
The new 2021 Toyota Highlander Hybrid for instance means no compromises for the busy family. It is still a 7 seater, still AWD, and it can still tow up to 2000kg braked, but only has the fuel consumption of 5.6L/100km, and an EV mode.

Drive Away from $63,990

New Features!
We have recently installed a new multi language tool. Head to the top section of the website and select your preferred language. Easy as that. Some of the images with words in them will not translate but with this new feature activated we create more content with this translation tool in mind over time. We hope this helps you connect with us.

Supporting the Brook Sanctuary

The Brook Sanctuary is returning nature to the Nelson Region. They are undertaking a very ambitious and visionary project, and amongst other very important projects they are currently working on raising funds to place a 14km predator-proof fence that will create a 700ha native wildlife experience close to Nelson’s city centre.

The Bowater Motor Group are right behind them on this project, and we have injected our own support during the initial public fundraising phase of the project by enabling them to have a campaign office downtown in the heart of Nelson.
