Review and specifications
2025 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid
The three-row Grand Highlander is positioned above the current Highlander and designed to better compete with class leaders like the Honda Pilot, Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride. This all-new SUV offers three powertrains: a base 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that sounds raspy, a thrifty 2.5-liter hybrid, and a powerful 2.4-liter turbocharged hybrid. Unlike most competitors, there is no V6 engine. The Grand Highlander can be configured to hold seven or eight passengers. The third seat is much roomier than it is in the regular Highlander, and it has greater cargo capacity. Power is adequate, the ride is comfortable and handling is decent. It features the latest Toyota infotainment system, with a 12.3-inch screen. All versions get the Safety Sense 3.0 suite of active safety and driver assistance systems, which includes AEB with pedestrian, cyclist, and motorcyclist detection, AEB highway, BSW, and RCTW. An LE trim and a Nightshade Edition based on the Limited trim were introduced for 2025.

Brand context
About Toyota
<p>Toyota has a reputation for building efficient and exceptionally reliable vehicles. This holds true in most cases, with a few exceptions. Most of their models do well in our testing, thanks to their impressive fuel economy, comfortable rides, quiet cabins, good controls, and generous standard safety equipment. All of this makes Toyotas among the best options for used vehicles. The brand was a hybrid pioneer, starting with the original Prius. Toyota has evolved and expanded that technology, and most vehicles in its lineup are available as a hybrid. Toyota sells a number of plug-in hybrids and an increasing number of EVs, including the bZ and C-HR. The company also knows how to add a dosage of excitement into its lineup: The GR86, GR Corolla, and Supra are legit, fun-to-drive sports cars.</p>
