2026 Toyota Grand Highlander Platinum Max

The Grand Highlander is Toyota's largest three-row SUV, slotting above the Highlander with more room for families and their gear. It takes on the Kia Telluride, Hyundai Palisade, and Honda Pilot, offering a choice of gas or hybrid powertrains across its trim range. The steering is light and the ride is composed, making this big SUV feel more manageable than its size suggests around town. Inside, the Grand Highlander offers generous space across all three rows, with a practical layout and easy access to the rear seats. Cargo space is a strong point, with enough room behind the third row for groceries and a deep well when those seats are folded. The Platinum Max is the top Grand Highlander, trading the regular hybrid's fuel economy for a much stronger powertrain and a higher price than the Platinum. Its 2.4L 4-Cylinder In-Line T24A-FTS hybrid hybrid makes 362 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque, routed through a six-speed automatic to all-wheel drive, and returns 27 mpg combined. The Platinum Max adds a color head-up display and a panoramic view monitor as standard, plus a 5,000-pound tow capacity that few three-row hybrids match.
