more or less the same thing as the RX400h...probably not as sport or power tuned as the RX.

It's exactly the same but a tad faster because it's lighter. It'll outrun the ML500 or X5 4.4i 0-60 and ¼ mile. But to be honest, I think the RX400h is overpriced.

Good to know.

And after driving my parents 400h last time I visited them...I don't think it is.

my mom has a regular highlanded and its the v6 model, still gets 24mpg which is pretty good for a small SUV with v6 kick....it also fits 7 people, i drive her car as much as possible over my TL sedan


im guessing the highlander hybrid would be even better, with all the refinements of the regular one
