The 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander is Toyota’s largest three-row SUV, built for families across San Juan Capistrano, Mission Viejo, and Ladera Ranch who need a genuinely adult-sized third row without stepping up to a full-size SUV. Gas models start around $42,855 TSRP and Hybrid models start around $46,205 TSRP (both include the destination charge). For live pricing, availability, and incoming allocation, see the Grand Highlander listings on this page or call our sales team at (949) 779-5480.
TSRP on new inventory covers manufacturer/distributor equipment and logistics fees, all of which are subject to revision. It does not account for taxes, registration, dealer-installed additions, or other local charges. TSRP is not a retail advertisement; actual dealer pricing will vary. The dealer sets the final price.
The Grand Highlander gives you three ways to drive. The Gas model pairs a 2.4L turbocharged four-cylinder with an eight-speed automatic for a balanced 265 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. The Hybrid swaps in a 2.5L four-cylinder and a CVT for strong everyday efficiency. And the Hybrid MAX turns up the output to 362 hp and 400 lb-ft for the most capable drive in the lineup. Gas models come with front-wheel drive and available all-wheel drive; the Hybrid offers front- or all-wheel drive; and the Hybrid MAX is all-wheel drive only.

Space is the whole point of the Grand Highlander. Fold the second and third rows and you open up to 97.5 cubic feet of cargo room, with 20.6 cubic feet behind the third row for a full grocery run or several suitcases. At roughly six inches longer than the standard Highlander, the extra length goes straight into third-row legroom and storage. Standard equipment includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen with Toyota Audio Multimedia, three-zone automatic climate control, seven USB-C ports across all rows, and Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 with Blind Spot Monitor and Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. For families running carpools out of Ladera Ranch or weekend trips from the Aliso Viejo Town Center, it is built for real daily use.
