The New 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander

The 2025 Grand Highlander offers three powertrain options to suit different driving needs. The standard gas engine is a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder producing 265 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. It delivers a smooth, balanced ride for daily commutes and long-distance travel.

The hybrid powertrain combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with electric motors and 245 horsepower. Although it’s the least powerful option, it shines in fuel efficiency and is ideal for eco-conscious drivers.

The Hybrid MAX is the high-performance choice offering a tuned 2.4-liter turbo engine, high-output electric motors to generate 362 horsepower, and 400 lb-ft of torque. The Grand Highlander Hybrid has a standard 120V household outlet, which typically takes 12-16 hours to charge.

The Grand Highlander has an impressive towing capacity. This SUV can tow up to 5,000 pounds, so it’s ideal for hauling trailers, boats, campers, or other heavy loads. The Grand Highlander’s drive modes (Sport, Eco, and Normal) fine-tune the vehicle's performance to match your driving style and road conditions.

The available all-wheel drive (AWD) system offers enhanced traction and stability if you frequently encounter challenging driving conditions. The AWD system automatically distributes power to the wheels that need it most, ensuring optimal grip on slippery or uneven surfaces.

To further enhance its capability, the 2025 Grand Highlander features a well-tuned suspension system and responsive steering that deliver a smooth, confident ride whether navigating city streets or tackling long highway drives. Select models include Multi-Terrain Select with modes like Mud & Sand or Rock & Dirt.

The mode’s seating accommodates up to eight passengers with ample legroom across all three rows. High-quality materials, including available leather-trimmed seats and soft-touch surfaces, create a premium ambiance.

The cargo space also offers up to 97.5 cubic feet of cargo space with the second and third rows folded, providing flexibility for various cargo needs. The climate control has a three-zone automatic climate control that ensures personalized comfort for all occupants.

Additional amenities like heated and ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, and ambient lighting enhance the overall driving experience.

The 2025 Grand Highlander boasts a bold and contemporary design that blends style with functionality. Standard LED headlights and taillights ensure excellent visibility while enhancing the modern look. Depending on the trim level, you can choose from 18-inch alloy wheels up to larger 20-inch designs, which add to the SUV’s commanding road presence.

Sculpted body lines, a distinctive front grille, and available chrome accents highlight its upscale character, while a range of exterior color options lets drivers personalize the look to their taste. Practical features like roof rails and a hands-free power liftgate enhance everyday convenience for families and active lifestyles.

At the heart of the cabin is a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Toyota further enhances the connectivity with a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, multiple USB-C ports, and wireless charging to ensure passengers stay connected and powered on the go.

Safety remains a top priority in the Grand Highlander, which comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0. This includes adaptive cruise control, lane departure alert with steering assist, and a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection.

The 2025 Grand Highlander also features advanced driver assistance and monitoring systems to promote safer and more confident driving. A panoramic view monitor provides a 360-degree bird’s-eye view to help with parking and maneuvering in tight spaces. The available Traffic Jam Assist can help manage acceleration, braking, and steering during low-speed congestion.

The LE is the well-equipped base trim of the Grand Highlander, which offers exceptional value without sacrificing features. It comes standard with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0. Other highlights include LED headlights, tri-zone automatic climate control, and seven USB-C ports throughout the cabin.

A hybrid version of the LE trim is also available, which offers increased fuel efficiency while maintaining the same generous list of standard features.

The XLE builds on the LE with comfort and convenience upgrades like a power liftgate, heated front seats, a power-adjustable driver's seat, and a wireless phone charger. This trim also adds roof rails and a power moonroof for added versatility.

Drivers looking for an eco-conscious option can choose the hybrid variant of the XLE. It delivers impressive mileage without compromising on tech or comfort.

Moving up to the Limited adds a premium feel with leather-trimmed seating, ventilated front seats, a hands-free liftgate, and a JBL® premium audio system. Additional features include a heated steering wheel, front/rear parking assist, and ambient interior lighting.

Like the LE and XLE, the Limited trim is also offered as a hybrid, perfect for drivers who want elevated luxury with fuel-saving technology.

At the top of the conventional lineup, the Platinum trim delivers the most advanced features in the Grand Highlander. Standard highlights include a panoramic glass roof, head-up display, digital rearview mirror, and Traffic Jam Assist. It’s designed for families who want cutting-edge safety, comfort, and style.

Platinum is also available as a hybrid or with the Hybrid MAX powertrain for drivers seeking more performance.

The Hybrid Nightshade trim brings bold design to the efficient hybrid platform. With exclusive blacked-out styling—like black wheels, mirror caps, and grille accents—this trim offers a sportier aesthetic. It pairs standout looks with the fuel efficiency and low emissions of Toyota’s proven hybrid system.

The Limited trim equipped with the Hybrid MAX powertrain transforms the Grand Highlander into a high-output hybrid SUV. Featuring a 2.4L turbocharged engine combined with electric motors, it produces 362 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque.

Drivers also enjoy all the premium amenities of the Limited trim with added performance under the hood.

The Hybrid MAX Platinum combines the best of all worlds: Toyota's most powerful hybrid engine and the top-tier features of the Platinum trim. Expect lightning-quick acceleration, elevated towing capabilities, and premium interior upgrades that make every journey comfortable and exciting.

Exclusive to the Hybrid MAX powertrain, the XSE trim adds sporty flair to the Grand Highlander lineup. It includes a mesh front grille, 20-inch alloy wheels, a sport-tuned suspension, and contrast roof options.

Inside, you’ll find red-accented upholstery, paddle shifters, and aluminum sport pedals for a performance-inspired driving experience.
