Buyers in Chelsea and Sylacauga who want spacious seating for up to eight in an SUV that is fuel-efficient and offers a wide selection of trims and features will be excited to explore the 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid. This spacious SUV is the choice when you want it all in one vehicle that can be your economical daily driver or the perfect vehicle for your summer family road trip.
Toyota always gives buyers options, and the powerplant on the Grand Highlander Hybrid is no exception. Choose the 2.5-liter four-cylinder with two electric motors for a total of 245 horsepower. Or go big with the turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder and one electric motor, for 362 horsepower in the Hybrid Max. The Max features a six-speed automatic transmission, while the Hybris uses a continuously variable automatic transmission. Your drive-train choices are front-wheel and all-wheel drive.
The Grand Highlander Hybrid’s grand space means more room for all passengers. The second row can be a bench seat for three or a pair of captain’s chairs. In the third row, there is ample space for three adults. They appreciate 5.5 inches of added legroom compared to the standard Highlander.
The standard tech includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth, wireless Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto for the primary connectivity platforms. The standard stereo includes six speakers, while an 11-speaker JBL system is an optional upgrade. Safety tech standard in the Grand Highlander Hybrid includes:
The Grand Highlander Hybrid is a relatively updated model, so there are not many changes for the 2026 model year. Some minor tech upgrades were added, but none as significant as the standard 7-inch available digital gauge cluster and the inclusion of Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 as standard equipment on these models for 2026. The option for a digital key is also new, and many buyers enjoy it.
When you are a value-driven buyer in Alexander City and Childersburg and need the large capacity of the three-row SUV, your choices can feel limited. Not only do you want a reasonable purchase price, but you also worry about ending up with a gas guzzler that barely gets into the double digits for fuel economy. But those concerns are not on the minds of buyers who test-drive the Grand Highlander Hybrid and discover space for three rows of adults and great fuel economy.
