Powertrain Choices and Impressive Efficiency

The 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid offers two advanced hybrid powertrain options, giving drivers the ability to choose a setup that best matches their driving style. The standard hybrid pairs a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine with dual electric motors to deliver a balanced 245 horsepower—perfect for daily driving and weekend adventures. For those seeking extra power and a more spirited driving experience, the available Hybrid MAX setup combines a turbocharged 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine with an electric motor, generating an impressive 362 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. This configuration is mated to a responsive 6-speed automatic transmission, while the standard hybrid uses a smooth and efficient continuously variable transmission (CVT) for effortless everyday performance. Regardless of which configuration you choose, the Grand Highlander Hybrid ensures a refined, comfortable ride ideal for both city commutes and long-distance travel. The 2.5-liter hybrid with front-wheel drive leads in fuel economy with an EPA-estimated 37 mpg city and 34 mpg highway. Opting for all-wheel drive brings slightly adjusted ratings of 36 mpg city and 32 mpg highway. Meanwhile, the Hybrid MAX—available exclusively on the Limited and Platinum trims with standard all-wheel drive—still delivers strong efficiency, offering an estimated 26 mpg city and 27 mpg highway.

Interior Comfort and Features

The 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid builds on everything drivers love about the original Highlander—adding more space, comfort, and convenience. This expanded SUV offers noticeably improved third-row accommodations, with an additional 5.5 inches of legroom and 2.5 inches more shoulder room compared to the standard Highlander, making it a true family-friendly option for long rides. Inside, the cabin showcases a modern, symmetrical dashboard design that’s both visually appealing and easy to navigate. Even the entry-level model comes generously equipped with practical features such as a hands-free power liftgate, heated front seats, second-row sunshades, and a range of USB ports and power outlets to keep everyone charged and connected. The Grand Highlander Hybrid offers flexible seating with a standard eight-passenger setup featuring a second-row bench, or an available seven-passenger layout with second-row captain’s chairs for added comfort and accessibility. Technology is front and center, with a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system running Toyota’s newest multimedia platform for a responsive, user-friendly experience. The XLE trim adds a 7-inch digital gauge cluster, while the Limited and Platinum trims step it up with a fully digital 12.3-inch instrument display. A wireless smartphone charging pad comes standard across all trims, and music enthusiasts will love the premium 11-speaker JBL audio system found in the higher-tier models.
