Comfortable, quick, relatively economical, well built.
Expensive, steering lacks feel.
A refreshingly forward-looking take on the classic executive saloon formula.
There's a huge amount of technology here that could go wrong. But you know that it won't, because it's a Toyota. The company's hybrids have all been if anything even more reliable than the petrol and diesel vehicles, so breakdowns or even minor glitches shouldn't be a worry.
The UK will not be getting the 600h in anything other than high spec, so there will be lots of wood and leather and less of the plastics that sometimes feel out of place in a car of this type. Compared to its rivals, the styling of the cabin is closest to the Mercedes S-Class - but the build quality makes it a match for the Audi A8.
The 600h feels very sturdy from tip to toe, with the odd exception: the sunroof cover and the grab handles, for instance, aren't anything like as reassuring to the touch as more important components such as the steering wheel.
