It is not considered a luxury SUV. It is relatively expensive and can go up to the $40,000's. One reason for the extra cost is because it has a hybrid system (probably the only reason). It also has luxury options such as navagation (that's prabably it). For the snow question, it depends. If you are traveling on snow covered government highways and roads, almost any automobile with All Wheel Drive (or 4x4's) is good in snow. If you are planning to go off road, you should choose an SUV with a higher ground clearance, eg. Toyota 4 Runner, Fj Cruiser,Land Cruiser or Sequoia. The Highlander is lower because it is a SUV based on a car, just like the Lexus RX and therefore it provides a smoother and more comfortable ride than the other SUV's mentioned above. If you are just planning to go over snow covered roads, than the Highlander is good on snow (to get even more traction, get snow tires). If you like the Highlander but want more luxury, opt for the more expensive Lexus RX350 or the hybrid Lexus RX450h. The Highlander and RX are considered crossover SUV's because they are not true off road vehicles. They are derived from cars and provide a more comfortable ride in normal situations. Also, when traveling on snow covered roads, having an SUV doesn't mean you could go faster. A 4 wheel drive vehicle gives you better traction than cars when accelerating, but are just as vulnerable as cars when it comes to braking.

No. The well equipped v6 Highlander is similar to the Lexus RX. However in terms of classification, the highlander is not considered a luxury vehicle. It is expensive (by my standards).

I think it is just a regular expensive SUV because Toyota is not really considered a luxury vehicle line.

It is expensive, but not luxury. The Lexus brand of Toyota is luxury.
