Both are 4-wheel drive with 3rd rows, seating 8 with leather upholstery, heated seats, navigation that shows the vehicles’ inner components hard work. Pairing 385 horsepower, with the ability to tow up to 8,950 lbs AND operate in electric-only mode for stretches at low-speed combine for an estimated 18 mpg city/ 19 mpg highway fuel efficiency.

I haven’t seen any numbers yet, but I’m guessing comparable or slightly more than the Toyota Highlander hybrid. High 30’s-40’s.

Durango/Aspen 3rd Row SUV hybrids in 2008

Thanks to All who participated.

What’s better than a hybrid-only luxury car service in the Big Apple? A hybrid-only luxury car service that donates a portion of their profits to NYC-based environmental causes.

While I haven’t used this service personally, it sounds like they’re keeping luxury and environment in mind. Their fleet is made up of 2007 and 2008 Toyota Camry and luxury Lexus hybrids, including SUVs. Inside the car, drivers have navigation and screen communication in the front seat, so passengers are never bothered by driver-dispatch radio conversations. Also suited the GPS transmitters, the cars can be tracked by dispatch to give clients a more accurate arrival time.

In addition to helping New York City endeavors – like Trees New York, the New York Restoration Project and Green Guerrillas – they let the client choose which group will get the support from their dollars.
