2026 Toyota Grand Highlander Overview: Specs, Trims & Features

The 2026 Grand Highlander is defined by choice and capability. You can choose the efficient 2.4-liter turbo gas engine, the fuel-sipping 2.5-liter hybrid (up to 36 MPG combined), or the performance-tuned Hybrid MAX powertrain that delivers 400 lb-ft of torque.

Inside, the cabin is a masterclass in utility. It offers seating for up to eight passengers, with a third row spacious enough for adults. Even with all seats up, there is room for seven carry-on suitcases behind the third row. Fold the seats down, and you unlock a massive 97.5 cubic feet of cargo space.

The 2026 Grand Highlander is packed with premium features. Standard equipment includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen on most trims, Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, and wireless smartphone connectivity. Higher trims add luxury touches like heated and ventilated second-row seats, a panoramic roof, and a Head-Up Display.
