The Toyota Grand Highlander is a mid-size crossover SUV[4] with three-row seating produced by Toyota since 2023. The Grand Highlander was introduced for the North American market on February 8, 2023. While sharing the nameplate and the GA-K platform with the regular Highlander, the Grand Highlander is longer, taller, and wider, and features entirely different exterior and interior styling.[6][7]
In the North American market, the Grand Highlander is positioned between the smaller Highlander and the larger Tundra-based Sequoia.[8] It is available in five grade levels: XLE, Limited, and Platinum since 2023, Nightshade since 2024, and LE starting in 2025.[9] The Lexus equivalent is known as the Lexus TX, and is also exclusive to North America.

Powertrain
[edit | edit source]The Grand Highlander exclusively uses four-cylinder powertrains. The gas models use the turbocharged 2.4-liter T24A-FTS engine producing up to 265 hp (198 kW; 269 PS) and 310 lb⋅ft (420 N⋅m) of torque. The 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain from the regular Highlander, using the naturally-aspirated 2.5-liter A25A-FXS engine, is available on LE, XLE, and Limited and standard on Nightshade; it is advertised for a maximum of 245 hp (183 kW; 248 PS) combined. Also available is a turbocharged hybrid powertrain from the Crown Crossover, marketed as "Hybrid MAX," which pairs electric motors with the T24A-FTS.[11] Hybrid MAX is available on Limited and Platinum.
The gas and Hybrid MAX models have a 5,000 lb (2,268 kg) towing capacity, while the Hybrid models are rated to tow 3,500 lb (1,588 kg).

Safety
[edit | edit source]The 2024 model year Grand Highlander was not awarded by the IIHS, as it did not receive a Good rating in the driver-side small overlap front crash test to be qualified for a safety award.[13]
| Small overlap front | Acceptable |
| Moderate overlap front (original test) | Good |
| Side (updated test) | Good |
| Headlights (varies by trim/option) | Acceptable |
| Front crash prevention: vehicle-to-pedestrian | Good |
| Child seat anchors (LATCH) ease of use | Good |
Model year changes
[edit | edit source]In 2024, for the 2025 model year, two new trims were introduced: a low-cost LE trim slotting below the XLE trim, and a Hybrid Nightshade trim with the same feature profile as the Limited trim, blacked-out elements such as 20-inch alloy rims and mirror caps, and the 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain featured on the Hybrid XLE and Limited trims.[15]
As standard equipment, the LE trim receives features such as 8-passenger seating with 2nd-row bench seats, a power liftgate, a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and heated outer mirrors with blind spot monitors. It is available with either the 2.4-liter turbocharged engine or the 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain.
