Key Features of the 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid

Hybrid MAX Powertrain and Available All-Wheel Drive

Hybrid MAX brings a dynamic personality to Grand Highlander. With 362 net combined horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque, acceleration is smooth and confident when merging onto U.S. 50 or climbing to higher elevation. The system pairs electrified torque with refined internal combustion for a driving experience that feels both robust and composed. Available all-wheel drive on Gas, Hybrid, and Hybrid MAX models delivers surefooted traction when weather turns or gravel roads beckon. The tuning emphasizes everyday confidence—quiet, strong pull from low speeds, and a settled ride at highway pace—so every passenger feels the benefit. If your schedule includes school drop-offs, warehouse runs, and weekend escapes, Hybrid MAX with available AWD is a compelling balance of strength and refinement.

Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0

Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0 is standard, reinforcing every trip with an advanced suite of driver assistance features. This generation enhances object detection and sensor coverage to support you in more scenarios. The system includes technologies such as Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Lane Tracing Assist, Road Sign Assist, and more, working together to help you stay centered, aware, and prepared. Available Traffic Jam Assist helps reduce stress on controlled-access freeways in slow-and-go conditions, while available Panoramic View Monitor and a Digital Rearview Mirror further expand your visibility when parking or navigating tight areas. The result is a confidence-forward drive—ideal for busy in-town errands and long intercity stretches alike.

Panoramic View Monitor and Digital Rearview Mirror

Parking at crowded shopping centers or maneuvering in tight driveways is simpler with available Panoramic View Monitor. It stitches together multiple camera angles to create an overhead perspective of your Grand Highlander, helping you see curbs, lines, and nearby objects at a glance. The available Digital Rearview Mirror adds clarity when cargo or passengers obstruct the rear window, projecting a wide, sharp view from a rear-mounted camera so you can confidently monitor traffic behind you. Together, these systems ease daily tasks and make the big moments—like loading up for a family road trip—feel effortless.

Toyota Audio Multimedia with 12.3-in. Display

Grand Highlander brings a cohesive tech experience to the front row. The standard 12.3-in. Toyota Audio Multimedia system places navigation, smartphone integration, and customizable controls within easy reach. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ keep your phone’s key apps on screen without a cable, while an available 12.3-in. digital gauge cluster integrates vehicle information with modern clarity. Add in a SiriusXM® 3-month trial subscription for breadth of audio content, and road time becomes quality time. The interface is designed around quick, confident interactions—you’ll get the features you need without scrolling through layers of menus.

Versatile 8-Passenger Seating and Up to 97.5 Cu. Ft. Cargo

Space is the strength of Grand Highlander. With seating for up to eight and a cabin designed to maximize passenger comfort, everyone gets room to settle in. Behind the third row, 20.6 cu. ft. handles a busy grocery run; fold just the third row for 57.9 cu. ft. when you need to pack for a weekend away; fold second and third rows to open up to 97.5 cu. ft. for larger haul days. Smart storage solutions appear where you need them—door bins, console space, and thoughtful cubbies—so day-to-day essentials stay organized. Available 20-in. alloy wheels and the Hybrid Nightshade’s blacked-out accents add curb appeal, while the interior stays focused on comfort with premium touches front to back.
