The 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid is Toyota’s answer to drivers who want it all: spacious three-row seating, efficient hybrid performance, and the latest in safety and multimedia features. It’s larger than the standard Highlander, more flexible than a traditional SUV, and equipped with one of the most diverse hybrid lineups in the Toyota family.
For 2026, Toyota offers six hybrid trims: Hybrid LE, Hybrid XLE, Hybrid Limited, Hybrid Nightshade, Hybrid MAX Limited, and Hybrid MAX Platinum. Whether you’re commuting daily, taking long road trips, or hauling a full crew of passengers, the Grand Highlander Hybrid offers the versatility and refinement you need, without sacrificing fuel efficiency.

Every trim level is packed with premium features, hybrid performance, and Toyota’s latest technology, giving you a wide range of options to match your family’s lifestyle.
With seating for up to eight and an exceptionally open cabin layout, the 2026 Grand Highlander Hybrid brings comfort to every row. The cabin provides up to 153.3 cubic feet of passenger volume and a maximum cargo volume of 97.5 cubic feet with the rear rows folded flat. All trims include tri-zone automatic climate control, second- and third-row vents, and second-row sunshades for added passenger comfort.
You can opt for a bench seat or second-row captain’s chairs, depending on the trim and configuration. The third row offers 33.5 inches of legroom, making it adult-friendly, a rarity in this class. Even with all three rows up, you’ll still have 20.6 cubic feet of cargo space in the back.
Interior Features:
Higher trims like the Hybrid MAX Platinum bring luxury-like details such as perforated leather upholstery, interior LED ambient lighting, and memory settings for the driver’s seat and side mirrors.
Despite its full-size footprint, the Grand Highlander Hybrid maintains a comfortable driving feel while offering best-in-class third-row comfort.
Key Dimensions:
Cargo is easy to access through the available kick-activated liftgate, and the 60/40-split third row folds flat for extended cargo needs.
The Grand Highlander Hybrid looks every bit as confident as it drives. Bold lines, functional aerodynamics, and distinctive hybrid badging define the exterior. All models include LED projector headlights, and roof rails are standard from the XLE trim upward. The Nightshade Edition adds black accents and 20-inch black alloy wheels for a sportier look.
Exterior Features:
The Platinum MAX trim includes premium chrome-finish bumper trim, dual exhaust tips, and acoustic noise-reducing front side windows for a quieter ride.
The 2026 Grand Highlander Hybrid offers a well-rounded color palette, mixing bold shades with clean neutrals. Along with standout options like Blueprint, Heavy Metal, and Midnight Black Metallic, you can choose from these additional finishes:
There are two hybrid powertrains available in the Grand Highlander lineup. The standard hybrid system pairs a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine with two electric motors for a combined 245 net horsepower and is paired with an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (eCVT). This setup is available with Front-Wheel Drive or Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive and delivers excellent EPA-estimated fuel economy.
The Hybrid MAX powertrain, available on the MAX Limited and MAX Platinum, steps things up with a 2.4-liter turbocharged hybrid engine that produces 362 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. This performance-oriented hybrid comes exclusively with All-Wheel Drive, Direct Shift-6AT transmission, and paddle shifters.
Hybrid Powertrain Highlights:
Hybrid MAX models are also equipped with Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD and multi-link rear suspension for enhanced handling and stability.
All trims come with Toyota’s latest 12.3-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia system, featuring a fast touchscreen interface, cloud-based navigation (with subscription), and wireless smartphone compatibility. The base hybrid LE comes well-equipped, and higher trims build on this with JBL® audio, Qi wireless charging, and connected services like Remote Connect and Wi-Fi Connect.
Technology Features:
On Hybrid MAX Platinum, you also get a head-up display, digital rearview mirror, and Panoramic View Monitor for enhanced visibility.
The 2026 Grand Highlander Hybrid is loaded with standard safety features across all trims, thanks to Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0. This includes:
Every hybrid trim also includes a Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and eight airbags. Front and rear parking assist with automatic braking is available on higher trims, and Traffic Jam Assist is included on the Platinum Hybrid MAX when equipped with Drive Connect.
Safety Highlights:
Toyota’s Star Safety System and LATCH anchors are standard across all rows for family safety. Downhill Assist Control and Hill Start Assist Control are also standard on AWD models.
