Toyota Grand Highlander: More Room for Three-Row Families

The Grand Highlander is a larger three-row SUV that slots above the Highlander, built to give families genuinely usable third-row and cargo space.

Introduced for 2024, the Grand Highlander answers a common complaint about the standard Highlander: a cramped third row. It is a separate, larger model designed to seat adults comfortably in all three rows while still leaving meaningful cargo room behind them.

Toyota offers a range of powertrains to suit different buyers, including a gas four-cylinder, a fuel-efficient hybrid, and a more powerful Hybrid Max setup that prioritises performance and towing. This breadth lets shoppers balance efficiency against capability within one model line.

With a spacious, family-friendly cabin, generous technology and Toyota's reputation for reliability, the Grand Highlander competes with larger three-row SUVs while sitting neatly between the Highlander and the body-on-frame Sequoia in Toyota's lineup.
