2025 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid is a midsize three-row SUV that comes in five trim levels: LE, XLE, Limited, Nightshade and Platinum. Two hybrid setups are available. The base powertrain has a four-cylinder engine and makes 245 horsepower. It uses a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and is available with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The Hybrid Max upgrades to a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 362 hp and uses a six-speed automatic transmission. All Hybrid Max models are all-wheel-drive.

The LE, XLE and Nightshade trims are only available with the base 245-hp hybrid engine. The Limited is available with either the base or the Hybrid Max powertrain, while the Platinum is powered exclusively by the Hybrid Max.

Platinum

  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Leather and synthetic suede upholstery
  • Ventilated second-row seats
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)

Which Grand Highlander Hybrid trim does Edmunds recommend?

Go for the XLE for the best value. Compared to the base LE trim, it adds desirable upgrades such as synthetic leather upholstery and heated front seats without costing much more. It's also one of only two trim levels that give you the choice of seven-passenger seating (rear captain's chairs) or eight-passenger seating (rear bench seat).
