The 2026 Grand Highlander lineup arrives with six trims, all equipped with standard all-wheel drive and three available powertrains, designed to meet the diverse needs of Canadian drivers. Every model also comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 and the latest Toyota multimedia system.
The starting MSRP for the 2026 Grand Highlander is $51,635.
A Vehicle Designed for Today’s Families
Whether you need a vehicle that can accommodate multiple generations or a reliable companion for group adventures, the Grand Highlander – available in gas or hybrid – is built to deliver comfort, versatility, and space. With three roomy rows, adult-sized seating, and up to 97.5 cu. ft. of cargo space when the seats are folded flat, it balances practicality with comfort. Even with all three rows in use, there’s enough room to fit seven carry-on suitcases.
The interior is refined and functional, featuring smart storage solutions for everyday items such as phones, tablets, and water bottles. Premium finishes – quilted surfaces, refined stitching, and elegant trim – add sophistication to the cabin.
Two seating configurations are offered:
- 8-passenger layout with a second-row bench seat
- 7-passenger layout with captain’s chairs and a removable center console
All versions include heated, power-adjustable front seats, a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, and wireless charging.
Modern and Functional Exterior Design
The Grand Highlander stands out with a bold yet practical style. A lowered hood line improves visibility, while wide rear doors make third-row access easier. Flowing body lines provide a sleek and dynamic look.
Performance and Powertrain Options
Every model includes standard all-wheel drive and three drive modes (Eco, Sport, Normal). Available powertrains include:
- 2.4L turbo, 265 hp and 310 lb-ft with an 8-speed automatic transmission (XLE and Limited)
- 2.5L hybrid, 243 hp, combining efficiency and power, with a towing capacity of 3,500 lbs (Hybrid XLE and Limited)
