Key Features of the 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid

Hybrid MAX Powertrain

If you want the hybrid with added punch, Hybrid MAX provides excellent power, performance, and a healthy dose of electrified fun. It delivers up to 362 net combined horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque on select grades, translating to confident merging, smooth passing, and reassuring reserves with a full crew onboard. Even with that output, drivability remains refined, with responsive throttle mapping and a composed ride. Hybrid MAX models also offer available all-wheel-drive capability, enhancing traction on rain-slick streets or snow-dusted roads. Whether you prioritize brisk acceleration or refined long-haul comfort, the hybrid and Hybrid MAX lineup ensures there is a configuration tailored to how you drive.

Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0

Grand Highlander Hybrid brings advanced active safety to every drive with Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0. This suite is designed to support awareness and make busy commutes feel less taxing, with systems that can alert, assist with lane centering, and help manage speed and distance in traffic. The calibration reflects Toyota’s latest thinking on driver support, building on years of real-world experience. Pair Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0 with available technologies like Traffic Jam Assist on controlled-access freeways, Panoramic View Monitor for a bird’s-eye perspective in tight lots, and a Digital Rearview Mirror to keep visibility consistent when cargo or passengers block the conventional mirror. The result is a reassuring safety foundation for everyday life and long-distance travel alike.

12.3-in. Toyota Audio Multimedia with Wireless Connectivity

With the available 12.3-in. Toyota Audio Multimedia system, the cabin feels instantly familiar. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ reduce cable clutter, letting you access playlists, podcasts, and maps with seamless integration. The large touchscreen, crisp graphics, and thoughtfully organized menus make it easy to jump between audio sources, navigation prompts, and vehicle settings. SiriusXM® is available with a trial subscription, adding depth to your listening lineup for long trips and short hops. Connected Services are designed to keep pace with your routine as well, helping you plan, stay informed, and manage select features through compatible apps. The interface feels intuitive on day one and continues to impress as you learn its depth.

Versatile Cargo Space and Adult-Friendly Third Row

Space is the signature advantage here. With second- and third-row seats up, you have 20.6 cu. ft. for daily errands. Fold the third row and you get 57.9 cu. ft. for family outings or bulky gear. Drop both rear rows and the 97.5 cu. ft. maximum space helps make move-in day or big-box store runs simple. The seating layout can accommodate up to eight, and the third row is more than an afterthought, with comfort that makes it viable for adults on longer trips. Thoughtful touches like smart storage cubbies, cupholders positioned for every row, and easy-fold mechanisms help the interior feel naturally helpful. Add the available height-adjustable, foot-activated power liftgate with jam protection, and loading is streamlined when your hands are full.

Available Panoramic View Monitor and Digital Rearview Mirror

Parking and low-speed maneuvering are easier with the available Panoramic View Monitor. It stitches together camera feeds to present a bird’s-eye view on the display, so you can spot parking lines, curbs, and nearby obstacles with confidence. When the cabin is full or cargo rises above the rear-seat headrests, the available Digital Rearview Mirror restores a wide, unobstructed rear view by projecting a real-time camera feed, even in challenging conditions. Pair these with the confident stance, available 20-in. alloy wheels, and the bold presence of Hybrid Nightshade’s blacked-out accents, and you have a three-row hybrid that is both easy to live with and easy to love.
