Which Toyota Grand Highlander trim should I buy?

• Limited: adds real leather, ventilation, a heated steering wheel, and the 11-speaker JBL stereo; this is the best-value trim if you want a more upscale cabin without going all the way to the top.
• Platinum: adds the most premium equipment in the range, including Portobello upholstery when paired with the top-spec engine, plus the highest-end feel in the lineup.

What Toyota Grand Highlander do most buyers choose?

The Toyota Grand Highlander years with the most listings are 2025, 2024, and 2026.

Those higher-volume years tend to be the easiest places to shop because you get more inventory to compare, which can make it simpler to find the right color, mileage, and equipment mix. They also usually give you a better chance of finding a strong deal without waiting for a rare listing to appear.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: You’ll be able to purchase a Grand Highlander with one of three available engine options. Starting things off, Toyota’s 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine will produce 265 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. For folks willing to sacrifice power for fuel efficiency, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid option will develop 245 combined net horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque (no combined net figure has been provided). At the top of the price range lives the Hybrid Max powertrain. This 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder hybrid mill turns out 362 combined net horsepower and 400 combined net lb-ft of torque.

If you're buying used today, the 2025 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
