Interior Comfort and Cargo Flexibility

The 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander interior prioritizes space and smart design. You can opt for seating for seven or eight depending on your trim and layout, and the second-row bench or captain’s chairs both offer easy access to the spacious third row. Adults can actually sit comfortably in the third-row seats – an improvement over many other vehicles in this class.

Premium touches like available leather-trimmed seating, a heated steering wheel, and tri-zone automatic climate control bring added comfort to daily drives or long road trips. Families will appreciate 13 cupholders throughout the cabin, USB ports in all three rows, and up to 20.6 cu. ft. of cargo space behind the rear seats. When you fold down the second and third rows, cargo capacity expands to a cavernous 97.5 cubic feet – perfect for beach gear, sports equipment, or big-box store hauls.

Sleek Exterior with SUV Confidence

On the outside, the Grand Highlander shares Toyota's bold SUV language, but stretches longer and stands taller than the standard Highlander SUV. Its sculpted body features aerodynamic lines, standard LED headlights and taillights, and a wide stance that communicates stability. Standard alloy wheels start at 18 inches on the LE and grow to 20 inches on the Limited and Platinum trims, with optional machine-finished designs adding upscale appeal.

This Toyota SUV is designed for functionality, with a power liftgate on higher trims, roof rails for added storage versatility, and a wide-opening rear hatch for easy loading. Color options include fan favorites like Celestial Silver Metallic, Blueprint, Midnight Black Metallic, Wind Chill Pearl, Storm Cloud, and Ruby Flare Pearl.

Powertrain Options and Performance Specs

The 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander is powered by a 2.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that produces 265 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. It offers plenty of strength for city commuting and highway cruising, while maintaining smooth, confident handling across the board.

Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, this powertrain delivers responsive acceleration and quiet highway manners. Both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations are available, giving drivers added flexibility and control in different road conditions.

Fuel economy is estimated at 21/28/24 mpg (city/highway/combined) for the FWD model, making it a great fit for drivers who need performance without sacrificing efficiency. When properly equipped, the Grand Highlander can tow up to 5,000 pounds – ideal for bringing along trailers, boats, or recreational gear.

Technology is a strong point in the 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander. Every trim comes equipped with Toyota's intuitive Audio Multimedia system, accessible via a 12.3-inch touchscreen display.
