Toyota has high hopes for its hybrid SUVs
Quote:
Toyota Motor Corp. said it planned to sell a combined 62,000 units of its two new hybrid sport utility vehicles worldwide this year, with sales starting in most major markets over the next three months.
Japan’s top auto maker plans to export the models, called RX400h and Highlander in most overseas markets, to North America, Europe and Australia between April and June, aiming to sell a total 52,000 units abroad this calendar year.
Both SUVs can be driven 41.9 miles on a gallon of gas — comparable to a compact car and a significant improvement over the same models fueled by a gasoline engine only.
