Interior Review of the 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander
The 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander's interior space and seating suit a big family well. There's room for eight people, plus more for cargo. The cabin is laid out logically, and all frequently used features have soft-touch materials. All three rows have enough headroom and legroom. It's also easy to get in and out thanks to the clever cabin design.
The standard upholstery material for the LE trim is fabric, but leather with Ultrasuede® and SofTex® is available. Smart Key System that includes Push Button Start and remote keyless entry is standard on all trims. With this, you can start the car or operate all doors, including the tailgate, with proximity. Three-zone automatic climate control is also standard on all trims.
An eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat and a four-way manual adjustable front passenger seat are standard on the LE. Meanwhile, the Limited and Platinum trims come standard with a 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat, heated and ventilated front seats, and ambient interior lighting.
Besides a smart layout, the Grand Highlander has plenty of storage space. The cargo space behind the third row is 20.6 cubic feet. You can get 57.9 cubic feet with the second row folded down, and 97.5 cubic feet with all the seats folded down. Also, there are small compartments in the cabin for organizing small items.
Installing a child safety seat is easy with LATCH connectors on the second-row outboard seats and third-row passenger seats. Tether anchors are also included in both the second and third rows.
Exterior Review of the 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander
The 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander looks solid and tough. Its prominent grille balances its boxy shape. LED headlights and 18-inch alloy wheels complement the sleek exterior styling.
When you need more space, especially for cargo that won't fit in the trunk, you can get roof rails. Moreover, the Grand Highlander comes with a height-adjustable power liftgate with jam protection.
Upgrade options include power-folding mirrors and 20-inch wheels, both standard on the Limited and Platinum trims. In addition, both higher trims can also be equipped with automatic wipers, which makes driving on rainy days easier. Various paint colors are available for the 2026 Grand Highlander, so you can find one you like. Celestial Silver Metallic and Heavy Metal are just two of the many available color options, including:
- Storm Cloud
- Wind Chill Pearl (Extra-Cost)

Power and Performance of the 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander
The 2026 Grand Highlander runs on a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine equipped with the Stop and Start System and Dual Variable Valve timing. This setup is paired with a direct shift eight-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission. The transmission sends 265 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque to the front wheels. All-wheel drive is available as an option.
The SUV is enjoyable to drive, with plenty of pep for a family hauler. At steady speeds, the turbo four quiets down to a nearly imperceptible hum, and shoppers will likely appreciate the settled ride and light steering. You should consider the Grand Highlander if you care about ride quality. Even though it's big, its suspension absorbs road bumps well, so it feels stable when you turn.
You can tow trailers with the Grand Highlander's 5,000 pounds of towing capacity.
