As one of Toyota's newest SUVs, the Grand Highlander feels modern and comes with great features. If you need a spacious vehicle, this model can prove to be practical. It has an expansive cabin with three rows of seats, convenient amenities, and excellent capability. This is definitely a vehicle that you can depend on.
Many of the customers at our dealership prefer larger vehicles, and the Grand Highlander can meet their needs. It might also work well for you if you plan on carrying a lot of passengers and/or cargo around Clarksville. It's a little longer than the standard Highlander, and this difference can make a big difference in terms of comfort. The Grand Highlander offers 40.2 inches of second-row leg room and 33.5 inches of third-row leg room. This means that adults and taller children can be comfortable in the back. This SUV will be ready to help you whenever you have bulky items to transport. When you fold the rear seats down, cargo capacity expands to 97.5 cubic feet.
Toyota designed the Grand Highlander to be a family-friendly model. It has numerous cup and bottle holders, retractable sunshades in the second row, and seven USB-C ports. Everyone can stay comfortable thanks to the three-zone automatic climate control system, which has a second-row control panel. In some models, the first and second row both offer heated and ventilated seats. The Grand Highlander can fit eight people if you choose a seating configuration that includes a second-row bench seat. If you prefer captain's chairs instead, your passengers will have a bit more space to stretch out, but your seating capacity will decrease to seven. Either way, you'll appreciate being able to pack so many people in the cabin together.
You can choose from three types of Grand Highlander powertrains. The standard one relies on a turbocharged 2.4-liter engine. With this engine under its hood, the Toyota makes 265 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. Estimated fuel economy is 21 miles per gallon in the city and 28 miles per gallon on the highway.
If you'd like to drive a more efficient vehicle, consider getting a hybrid Grand Highlander. The first type of hybrid Grand Highlander runs on a 2.5-liter engine and two electric motors. Together, these components deliver 245 horsepower. The main benefit of using this hybrid system is that it results in better fuel economy. A hybrid Grand Highlander can earn as much as 37 miles per gallon in the city and 34 miles per gallon on the highway.
The other type of hybrid model uses a powertrain that Toyota calls the Hybrid MAX. A Hybrid MAX Grand Highlander is significantly more powerful than its counterpart. The SUV's Hybrid MAX system, which uses an electric component and a turbocharged 2.4-liter engine, makes 362 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. It does pretty well in terms of efficiency, especially considering how strong it is. It's able to earn 26 miles per gallon in the city and 27 miles per gallon on the highway.
You have the opportunity to get a Grand Highlander with all-wheel drive. This can give you more traction when things become slippery. Plus, you'll be able to choose between different drive modes through the available Multi-Terrain Select or Trail Mode programs. You can optimize performance based on the type of terrain you face. Mud & Sand mode and Rock & Dirt mode might be useful when you're in rugged areas.
If you have to haul cargo, the Grand Highlander will be ready. The hybrid version can tow 3,500 pounds, and the Hybrid MAX and standard versions can tow 5,000 pounds.
