We all know that Toyota is the leading car company – however, what you might not know is that Toyota is actually the leading car company for hybrid cars.  They are definitely one of those companies that care truly about the environment and they are using all of their resources to come up with a car that runs on no fuel at all or on very little fuel.  Take the Toyota Highlander FCHV-adv, this car is definitely one SUV that I am into – it is a hydrogen fuel cell SUV!

Now, currently, they are testing the Toyota Highlander FCHV-adv and this car is actually topping out at about 431 miles right now without having to refuel itself with gas – just with H2.  This car is honestly one of the coolest and while it might not be on the market and available until 2015, I am so excited about it!

So if you are looking for a car that is a hybrid – you should take a look at Toyota as the company and Toyota Highlander FCHV-adv as the SUV!

Some of the cool things about the 2009 Highlander Hybrid Base Sport Utility are the 3,305 cc 3.3 liters V 6 front engine with 91.9 mm bore, 83.1 mm stroke, 10.8 compression ratio, double overhead cam, variable valve timing/camshaft and four valves per cylinder 3MZ-FE Hybrid.  Some more specs include Secondary power: maximum power (kw): 156, maximum power (hp): 209, maximum torque (ft lb): 212 and maximum torque (nm): 287, Power: 201 kW , 270 HP SAE, 235, 175, 343 and 465 and Electric fuel with additional unleaded 87.  All of which is pretty cool!

So if you are interested in a hybrid car that is really over the top and pretty freakin’ cool looking, the 2009 Highlander Hybrid Base Sport Utility is definitely the best!
