It's basically the same car in two different skins, same engine, same economy, same maintenance etc. Check this https://www.cars.com/research/compare/?acodes=USB50TOS141C0,USB50LES101A0

Highlander is cheaper on maintenance.

It also has the i4 engine variant.

Yes!

Rx330 comes with a v6 engine unlike its Highlander counterpart which has both i4 and v6.
i4 definitely would consume far lesser; the v6 variant is also slightly better than those of Rx.

Rx is a luxury brand and as such you’d spend a bit however higher than those of Highlander.

Cc heavenlybang, nurey, please any addition?

Cheers!

Not much. I'll recommend the RX330 over the Highlander, though.

I have owned a highlander 4 cylinder for 4 years and an RX330 for 6.5years.

I will never buy any 4 cylinder SUV. It's like a curse trying to accelerate. Very lethargic power. Also, know that the 4 cylinder engines of highlander are prone to sludge and stripped head bolt failures.

Bro, go RX330 or go home!

I've never driven one but I've always been curious about the i4 Highlander. I mean how much power are they ever going to squeeze out of that small engine to give that mass anything close to decent performance? To me, i4 SUVs shouldn't be happening..

The i4 Highlander would have poor fuel economy as those to y cylinders have to huff and puff to haul that heavy mass compared to the V6 engine.

With that out of the way, the Lexus has a better fuel economy than the V6 Highlander so there you have it. Go for the Lexus

Buy your rx330 and forget the casket looking highlander.
Rx = Smooth driving with luxurious interior.
Fuel economy difference is just minimal.

I'll rather drink gaari in n 2005 rx330 than eat chicken and chips in a 2005 highlander grin
