The Toyota Grand Highlander is an enlarged version of one of the staples in the three row family SUV class. It address one of the major weaknesses of the regular Highlander model by adding a more usable third row of seats. As well, there’s increased cargo capacity.
Like the regular Highlander, the Grand Highlander comes with a choice of turbocharged or hybrid four-cylinders. Unlike the smaller model, the Grand Highlander also has an optional turbocharged and hybrid four cylinder.
Pros | Useful rear seats!, Strong Hybrid Max powertrain, Small price increase |
Cons | Super-conservative looks, Base engine is grumbly, Touching $60k |
Bottom Line | The Grand Highlander, especially in powerful Hybrid Max form, makes a compelling argument in the ruthlessly competitive three-row segment. |

2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Review: First Drive

Are you one of the people who find the existing Toyota Highlander just a little too small for your squad?
It’s okay. So. Do. We. It’s one of the most common complaints about the current three-row SUV. The Japanese automaker has heard the comments, and has crafted this counterpoint, the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander. But that isn’t the only ask it’s answered.
Do you want more power, too—but also better fuel economy? Well earlier this month Toyota invited us and dozens of other automotive journalists to Hawaii’s big island to drive the Highlander’s new big brother. And guess what? It solves all of those problems, better aligning with the needs of buyers in this competitive segment.
