Gross sales of the Toyota Highlander plunged by 47% in October to 9,536 models, however there seems to be a transparent cause for that: the newer Grand Highlander (7,571 models offered final month). The common Highlander was all the time held again by its cramped third-row seat, however the Grand Highlander has remedied this. Second- and third-row legroom is up by 0.8 and 5.5 inches, respectively. Because of this adults can really sit within the third row. Cargo area can be considerably higher, with over 20 cubic toes behind the third row.
Making longer journeys extra pleasant are customary options like wi-fi smartphone charging, seven USB-C ports for varied small units, 13 cup and bottle holders, and three-zone local weather management. The Grand Highlander seats seven or eight, and even second-row seats may be heated and ventilated. We discovered the usual infotainment setup with its 12.3-inch touchscreen simple to make use of, and you’ll improve to an 11-speaker JBL sound system.
With the non-obligatory Hybrid Max powertrain, the Grand Highlander is each fast (0-60 in 6.3 seconds) and environment friendly (27 mpg mixed). This configuration has a towing capability of 5,000 kilos.
General, it is a considerably higher SUV than the traditional Highlander.
