The Grand Highlander offers a spacious and functional interior with adult-sized third-row seating, a large rear cargo area, and three powertrain choices: a 2.4L turbo gas, a 2.5L hybrid, and a 2.4L turbo hybrid MAX. The Hybrid MAX model delivers impressive performance with 362 horsepower [1].

The interior of the 2026 Grand Highlander is designed for comfort and functionality. It features a third row with 33.5 inches of legroom and 37.2 inches of headroom, maximizing passenger space. When the rear seats are folded down, the vehicle offers 97.5 cubic feet of cargo capacity, enough to handle seven carryon suitcases with the third row up. The cabin is equipped with standard acoustic glass on the windshield and front windows, noise-reducing materials throughout the vehicle, ample cup holders, and available second-row bench or captain’s chairs. Standard features include a 12.3-inch touchscreen, three-zone automatic climate control with second- and third-row vents, and seven USB-C charging ports. Available features such as leather-trimmed seats on the Limited grade or heated and ventilated second-row seats on the Platinum model enhance comfort further [1].

The 2026 Grand Highlander is available in LE, XLE, Limited, Platinum, and Hybrid Nightshade grades, with available Front- or All-Wheel Drive (FWD or AWD). The Hybrid MAX model features standard full-time electronic AWD, while other models have available AWD options. Each powertrain offers efficient performance, with up to a manufacturer-estimated 36 combined MPG rating on Hybrid models, up to a manufacturer-estimated 28 combined MPG rating on gas models, and a manufacturer-estimated 27 combined MPG rating on Hybrid MAX models. The 2.4L turbo gas engine and 2.5L hybrid models also have FWD available. The 2026 Grand Highlander is exclusively assembled at Toyota Motor Manufacturing plant in Princeton, Indiana, with a starting Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $41,360 for the gas engine models (LE FWD grade), $44,710 for the Hybrid models (LE grade), and $55,190 for the Hybrid MAX models (Limited grade) [1].

The exterior design of the 2026 Grand Highlander features a confident stance with a trapezoidal grille and broad front fenders. The side profile is simple yet active, with clean door and fender panels and a flat roofline accentuated by a rear spoiler. The Hybrid MAX variant takes it a step further with standard exposed dual exhaust tips and unique silver painted bumper accents. The vehicle is equipped with a 17.8-gallon fuel tank, 3,500 lbs. of towing capacity on the Hybrid grades, and an impressive 5,000 lbs. towing capacity on the Hybrid MAX and gas grades. The Grand Highlander is also built for the long haul with three selectable Drive Modes (Sport, Eco, Normal) to make driving more efficient [1].

The 2026 Grand Highlander models are expected to start arriving at Toyota dealerships in the Fall of 2025. This new model continues Toyota’s commitment to providing a blend of comfort, performance, and versatility, making it an attractive option for families and investors alike.
