2026 Toyota Grand Highlander for Sale

2026 Toyota Grand Highlander at Berglund Toyota

The 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander steps confidently into the mid-size SUV space with more interior room and stronger performance options designed for growing families and active lifestyles. Available now at Berglund Toyota in Lynchburg, VA, this SUV builds on familiar Highlander specs while adding noticeable gains in rear-seat comfort and cargo capacity.

Positioned between entry SUV options like the Corolla Cross and larger models such as the Toyota Land Cruiser, the Grand Highlander gives buyers a practical alternative that still feels refined. Whether you’re comparing Highlander models or weighing other vehicles like the Toyota Crown Signia or Toyota 4Runner, this SUV delivers versatility without feeling oversized.

From gas-powered LE and XLE trims to top-of-the-line Limited and Platinum trims, the 2026 Grand Highlander lineup is built to match different driving needs while keeping Toyota Safety Sense™ standard across the board.

Interior Space

Step inside the 2026 Grand Highlander and the first thing you’ll notice is how usable the cabin feels across all three row seats. Seating is available for seven or eight passengers, depending on configuration, with a choice between second-row captain’s chairs or a bench seat. Rear seats are designed with adult passengers in mind, offering 41.7 inches of legroom in the first row, 39.5 inches in the second row, and 33.5 inches in the third row, along with increased visibility compared to the standard Highlander.

Cargo capacity is a standout feature. Even with the third row in use, the Grand Highlander provides 20.6 cubic feet of storage for groceries, sports gear, or luggage. Folding the rear seats opens up to a total of 97.5 cubic feet of cargo capacity, making it easy to handle weekend trips or carpools without compromise. Child safety is addressed with multiple LATCH positions, wide-opening rear doors, and easy access to the third row.

Interior highlights include:

• Three-zone automatic climate control
• Power-adjustable driver seat with lumbar support
• Leather-trimmed seating
• Heated and ventilated front seats
• Heated rear seats

Exterior Styling

The exterior design of the Toyota Grand Highlander reflects its role as a large SUV built for daily use. A wide stance, sculpted body lines, and distinctive front bumper trim give it visual confidence without feeling bulky. Functional details like roof rails come standard or available depending on trim, adding utility for bikes, cargo carriers, or road-trip gear.

Wheel designs vary from 18 inches to 20 inches, enhancing curb appeal on upper trims while maintaining ride comfort. LED lighting improves visibility, and the available hands-free power liftgate makes rear cargo access easier when your hands are full.

Available exterior colors include:

• Cement
• Heavy Metal
• Wind Chill Pearl
• Blueprint
• Midnight Black Metallic

Additional exterior equipment may include privacy glass, power-folding mirrors, and trim-specific styling details that help differentiate LE, XLE, Limited, and Platinum models.

Powertrain Specs

The 2026 Grand Highlander offers a traditional 2.4-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged gas engine. This powertrain delivers 265 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, making it a solid choice for families who prioritize everyday usability.

The engine is paired with a Direct Shift-8AT automatic transmission, and is available in front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, depending on trim. Ride quality is composed and predictable, whether navigating city streets or settling in for longer highway drives.

The Grand Highlander is a strong alternative to vehicles like the Toyota RAV4, Sienna, or even the Tundra for buyers who want three rows without moving into a truck platform.
