Please guys, between a Toyota Highlander V4 and Lexu s RX300, which is more economical to maintain, in terms of parts, fuel economy etc.

What are the common problems each of the cars have so I would know if I'd be able to cope with it
Re: Between V4 Toyota Highlander And V4 Lexus RX300 by Nobody: 9:27pm On Aug 28, 2018
Lexus RX300 does not have an I4 version. Its either FWD v6 or AWD v6. If u see a 4 cylinder model then its Toyota Harrier made for the Asian Market and has probably been converted from RHD to LHD. If it has Lexus badge then na wash.

And to answer ur question, a 4 cylinder Highlander is cheaper to maintain than a lexus RX300 of same generation. Though they share similar parts but the Lexus being luxury has a more complex system.

Is there any downside to the Toyota Highlander V4 that I should know of?

It's an i4. It's not the most powerful SUV on the road.

Only downside is that its slow. If u are used to driving a V6 SUV then u will find it awkward driving an I4 Highlander.

2.5l 4GR-FSE engine.

The hybrids use an i4, and the IS300 uses a turbocharged i4.

Some 1st gen IS250 in Japan came with a 2.0L 3S-GE i4 engine. I have seen one in lagos, it was side converted angry
