The long-running Highlander now lives in the shadow of the Grand Highlander, which offers more space for a slightly higher price. The 2026 lineup has been simplified with the discontinuation of the LE and XLE Nightshade models, which featured a hybrid system. The gas-electric powertrain remains an option on the XLE, Limited and Platinum trims. It can tow 3,500 lbs and achieves 6.7 L/100 km, which is less than the four-cylinder gasoline engine (5,000 lbs and 9.9 L/100 km).
