Finally, in terms of vehicle performance, although these two medium-sized SUVs are both hybrid models, the Highlander Twin Engine is a gasoline-hybrid model that does not support charging. This results in certain restrictions on its use scenarios, and its use The cost of the car is also higher than that of plug-in hybrid models.
