Read moreEverything we expect to see on the new Toyota Highlander Grand
Toyota announced earlier this month that we could expect to see a new three-row sport utility vehicle arrive on the market in early 2023. Called the Toyota Highlander Grand, this is more than just a new version of the current popular three-row Toyota Highlander. The Toyota Highlander Grand will be a distinct model that is sure to offer a lot of interior space. Let's take a look at the new Highlander Grand and everything that it has to offer or at the very least everything we expect to see on the latest Toyota SUV.
More interior space and likely more cargo capacity
The 2023 Toyota Highlander Grand will likely feature a longer wheelbase than the current Highlander. We expect the Highlander Grand to offer more passenger room at the second and third rows thanks to this longer wheelbase. We also expect it to offer more cargo capacity as well.
The current Toyota Highlander is one of the most welcoming three-row SUVs in its segment, but for buyers who need a bit more space, Toyota did not necessarily have an option with the exception of the more expensive and much larger Toyota Sequoia. The all-new Toyota Highlander Grand will likely fill that gap in the Toyota lineup.
Same hybrid and turbocharged powertrains
We expect the new Toyota Highlander Grand to offer the same powertrain options that we find in the current Highlander. That means we expect a standard 2.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder with 265 hp and 310 pound-feet of torque, a significant improvement over the previous V6. We also expect the Highlander Grand to offer a hybrid version which will offer 243 hp and an expected fuel economy rating of under 7 L per 100 km.
We don't expect too many changes with the Toyota Highlander Grand's interior compared to the current Highlander and in terms of pricing, there will likely be a small bump in price but likely not all that significant. With the new Toyota Highlander Grand, Toyota is giving us a more spacious and welcoming SUV with everything buyers expect to find in a Toyota sport utility vehicle. We look forward to giving you more details about the Highlander Grand early next year.
