2013 Lexus RX 450h

While hybrid luxury SUVs are not necessarily abundant, there is some competition out there. First up is the 2013 Audi Q5 2.0T Prestige Quattro Hybrid, which comes in a $50,900 and boasts a 30 mpg highway rating, five-person leather seating, 245-horsepower, 6.8-second sprint to 60 mph and a 4,400-pound towing capacity. Next up is the 2013 Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid, which comes in at $62,055, boasts leather seating for five, a 380-horsepower hybrid-drive system, a 24 mpg highway rating and a 7,700-pound towing capacity. The next competitor is the 2013 Toyota Highlander Limited Hybrid, which carries a $46,170 price tag, seven-person premium leather seating, a 280-horsepower, V-6 hybrid driveline, a 3,500-pound towing capacity and a 28 mpg highway rating.

Since the competition is so scarce, the range of luxury hybrid SUVs range greatly in size and engine power. Despite their obvious differences, they all remain in fierce competition for the interest of eco-friendly SUV buyers.
