The new Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid is a three-row midsize SUV offered with two electrified powertrains: a 2.5-liter hybrid rated at 245 horsepower with a manufacturer-estimated rating of up to 36 combined mpg, and the Hybrid MAX system rated at 362 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque with standard all-wheel drive. Both are self-charging hybrids with seating for up to eight and standard Toyota Safety Sense. It is the rare family SUV that can be either the efficient choice or the powerful one.

Which Grand Highlander Hybrid Powertrain Should You Choose?
This is the key decision, and the two systems serve different drivers:
- Standard Hybrid: a 2.5-liter engine with electric motors, 245 horsepower, available AWD and the lineup's highest estimated fuel economy
- Hybrid MAX: a turbocharged 2.4-liter engine, a six-speed automatic and electric motors for 362 horsepower, 400 lb-ft of torque, standard AWD and a tow rating of up to 5,000 pounds
If your miles are mostly around town and fuel cost matters, the standard hybrid is the pick. If you tow, carry a full load regularly or simply want the quickest three-row Toyota, the Hybrid MAX delivers.
What Does the Grand Highlander Hybrid Offer Families?
An adult-sized third row, generous cargo space behind it and a cabin designed around real life: a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen, plenty of USB-C ports and storage everywhere. Captain's chairs or a bench in the second row let you choose seven or eight seats. Add quiet hybrid operation in stop-and-go traffic on the way to LAX, and it is a pleasant place to spend a lot of time.
How Does It Compare With the Gas Grand Highlander?
The gas Grand Highlander uses a turbocharged 2.4-liter engine rated at 265 horsepower and has the lowest starting point. The standard hybrid trades a little outright power for far better estimated fuel economy, while the Hybrid MAX outperforms the gas model on every measure except price. Cabin, seating and safety equipment are shared across all three.
Should You Also Consider the Highlander Hybrid or the Sienna?
The Highlander Hybrid shares the standard 2.5-liter hybrid system in a shorter body with a smaller third row and a lower price. The Sienna is a hybrid minivan with sliding doors and the easiest access of the three. If the third row is used daily by adults, the Grand Highlander Hybrid is the roomiest SUV answer. If you need the most convenient family hauler regardless of styling, drive the Sienna too.
