Stanleytown, Danville, Rocky Mount, and Greensboro new-vehicle shoppers are probably familiar with the Highlander name, but the 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander is a different proposition to the model it shares part of its name with. The 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander is longer, taller, and wider, and the interior and exterior styling differ entirely from the Highlander. It’s hard to think of a better way of getting up to eight people around.
The 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander offers buyers a choice of four trim levels. The entry model is the new LE, the mid-range models are the XLE and Limited trims, and the top-of-the-range offering is the extremely impressive Platinum. The XLE features sleek, silver-painted wheels and a black-painted front grille, while the Limited adds 20-inch alloy wheels and a power tilt/slide panoramic roof. The Platinum trim further enhances its exterior with chrome multi-spoke wheels and a unique front grille design, making it a standout in any crowd.
Although the 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander is a substantial vehicle capable of efficiently transporting up to eight people and their cargo, it doesn’t have a big, gas-guzzling engine. The unit under the hood of all three trim levels is a very contemporary 2.4-liter turbo-four. But think again if you think a four-pot might be a little underpowered for such a substantial vehicle. The turbo-four develops 265 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque, which puts many of yesterday’s V-6 powerplants firmly in the shade. While the XLE and Limited trim levels are standard front-wheel drive, the range-topping Platinum gets AWD as part of its standard specification. However, the other two trim levels can have AWD as an option. In all cases, the power goes to the wheels through a Direct Shift-8AT 8-speed Electronically Controlled Automatic Transmission (ECT). Whether you have front-drive or AWD, the maximum tow rating for the Toyota Grand Highlander is 5,000 pounds.
The 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander prioritizes comfort with its spacious and flexible interior, designed to accommodate up to seven passengers with ample legroom in all rows. The XLE trim features SofTex-trimmed seats, while the Limited and Platinum trims add leather-trimmed seating with heated and ventilated front seats. The Platinum trim also includes a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with memory settings. Standard across all trims is the 12.3-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, ensuring seamless connectivity on the go. The Limited and Platinum trims also get an 11-speaker JBL Premium audio system with a subwoofer and amplifier instead of the XLE’s standard six-speaker audio. The cabin features advanced driver-assist technologies such as Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, including a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection and Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. Additionally, the Toyota Grand Highlander offers an available panoramic moonroof, ambient interior lighting, and up to seven USB-C ports, ensuring everyone stays connected and comfortable.
The 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander is a magnificent vehicle, whichever way you look at it. It is spacious, has a well-appointed interior, is comfortable to drive, has a large cargo capacity, and has legendary Toyota reliability and durability.
