2025 Toyota
Grand Highlander Hybrid

After debuting in 2024, the Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid continues to shake up the crowded three-row crossover market with a successful combination of looks, spaciousness, and efficiency. For 2025, Toyota expands the Grand Highlander Hybrid lineup with a new entry-level LE trim and a stylish Nightshade edition, providing buyers with even more selection.

The Grand Highlander Hybrid's distinctive exterior continues for 2025, with its confident front fascia, modern lines, and practical tailgate. The interior is equally notable, offering a spacious and well-appointed cabin that can accommodate up to eight passengers. With a maximum cargo capacity of 97.5 cubic feet, it’s also well-suited for adventurous travels and daily tasks.

Trims and Powertrains

The 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid is made in five trim grades: LE, XLE, Limited, Nightshade, and Platinum. The LE, XLE, and Limited have a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a hybrid system to generate a combined 245 horsepower. Most trims come standard with all-wheel drive (AWD), while the XLE has front-wheel drive (FWD), with AWD optional. Both drivetrains use an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (eCVT).

The Hybrid MAX powerplant is optional for the Limited and standard with the Platinum. This powertrain features a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder unit and a hybrid system that combine to make 362 horsepower. It works with a six-speed automatic transmission and standard AWD.

Fuel economy for the base hybrid powertrain ranges from 35 to 37 mpg in the city and 31 to 34 mpg on the highway, depending on the trim and drivetrain. The Hybrid MAX powerplant is rated for 26 mpg around town and 27 mpg on the open road. A Grand Highlander Hybrid with the Hybrid MAX engine can tow up to 5,000 pounds, while the base hybrid powerplant has a 3,500-pound trailering capacity. You’ll have 20.6 cubic feet of space in the cargo area when all rows are upright. That can expand to 57.9 cubic feet with the third row folded down, and 97.5 cubic feet with both back rows flattened.

Standard Features

The LE has a sprinkling of upscale features, including a power liftgate, tri-zone automatic climate control (with second-row controls and rear air vents), heated power side mirrors, LED exterior lighting, an eight-way power driver's seat, a windshield wiper de-icer, proximity keyless entry, and wireless device charging. As the base trim, it gets some straightforward appointments, such as fabric upholstery (first and second rows), push-button start, a 7-inch driver information display, rear privacy glass, roof rails, an overhead console, a tilt-and-telescopic steering column, seven USB-C ports, and 18-inch alloy wheels. The standard second-row bench seat can be upgraded to a pair of captain’s chairs, changing the passenger capacity from eight to seven.

The XLE adds premium touches, including SofTex leatherette upholstery, heated front seats, a ten-way power driver's seat, and an eight-way power passenger seat. It also has second-row sunshades, an app-based digital key, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

The Limited takes on a luxury persona with genuine leather upholstery (first and second row), heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a driver's memory system, heated second-row outboard seats, and a hands-free power liftgate. Its additional standard equipment includes LED fog lights, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, power-folding side mirrors, rain-sensing windshield wipers, unique exterior and interior elements, ambient cabin lighting, two 120-volt power outlets, LED daytime running lights, and 20-inch alloy wheels. With the Hybrid MAX powertrain, the Limited also gets leather and Ultrasuede upholstery (first and second rows), unique exterior and interior accents, steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, and dual exhaust outlets. The XLE and Limited can be upgraded with a power panoramic moonroof. The standard second-row captain’s chairs in both trims can be changed to a three-passenger bench seat.

The Nightshade edition is a seven-passenger trim (it comes with middle-row captain’s chairs only) with an equipment list that mirrors the Limited’s, but with exclusive black exterior treatments, black leather upholstery, and matte-gray cabin accents. A power panoramic moonroof is optional. The Platinum is limited to seven passengers as well; it has a power panoramic moonroof, leather and Ultrasuede upholstery (first and second rows), heated and ventilated second-row seats, a color head-up display, a digital rearview mirror, steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, unique exterior and interior accents, and a dual-exhaust system.
