The Grand Highlander is your living room on wheels—if your living room had AWD and a hybrid powertrain.
The 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander is all about space and serenity. With its cavernous interior, this SUV feels more like a rolling lounge than a mere mode of transport. It's the ideal choice for families who value comfort and practicality over adrenaline-pumping performance. We were pleasantly surprised by the smooth and quiet ride, courtesy of the efficient Hybrid Max powertrain, which sips fuel while keeping the cabin whisper-quiet. However, the driving dynamics leave something to be desired. The steering lacks feedback, and the handling doesn’t inspire confidence on winding roads. If you’re after a comfortable, roomy, and tech-savvy family hauler, the Grand Highlander should be on your shortlist, but thrill-seekers might want to look elsewhere.
