Why Lease Your New Grand Highlander?
Leasing puts you in a three-row SUV during the years it runs at
its best, fully covered by Toyota's factory warranty and on a predictable monthly payment. For a
growing family, that means a vehicle sized for car seats, sports gear, and road trips without
the long-term resale questions that come with buying outright. At the end of your term, you can
step into the newest Grand Highlander with the latest technology and safety features rather than
holding a vehicle past its prime. It is a practical fit for households that want room and
reliability without a long-term commitment.

XLE.
Performance and Powertrain
The 2026 Grand Highlander XLE is powered by a 2.4-liter turbocharged
4-cylinder engine producing 265 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque, sent through a Direct
Shift 8-speed automatic transmission. That torque arrives low in the rev range, which makes
the Grand Highlander feel responsive when merging onto Route 119 or climbing the grades
common across the region. With a towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds, the XLE handles a
small camper or boat for trips to Ohiopyle or the Laurel Highlands. EPA-estimated fuel
economy comes in at 21 city / 28 highway / 24 combined MPG, a reasonable return for a
three-row SUV of this size and capability.
Interior and Technology
The driver's seat in the Grand Highlander XLE is SofTex-trimmed, heated,
and 10-way power adjustable with lumbar support. The front passenger seat is 8-way power
adjustable, also in SofTex. Second-row captain's chairs and a 60/40 split-folding third row
give the cabin flexibility for people or cargo, with 57.9 cubic feet opening up when the
third row is down and 97.5 behind the front seats with both rows folded flat. A 12.3-in.
Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen handles wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android
Auto™, Bluetooth®, and a SiriusXM three-month trial subscription. Qi-compatible
wireless charging and a Smart Key System with Push Button Start on all doors and the
liftgate complete the daily essentials across all three rows.
