Toyota continues leading the way with vehicles that are easy on the wallet when it comes to fuel economy and the 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander Platinum Hybrid Max is no different.
This full-size SUV comes with a 2.4L 4-cylinder turbocharged 6-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters and 5,000 of towing capacity for the Colorado enthusiasts. This 4-cylinder is no slack either offering 362 horsepower and 400 lbs of torque which is more power than many V6 competitors.
This gives the Grand Highlander an advantage by giving owners near-V8 performance with fuel economy that many midsize SUV’s can’t touch.
While the Grand Highlander Platinum Hybrid Max is marketed as a traditional family hauler, it feels more like a premium SUV with clean lines and a soft leather interior with suede inlays in the doors.
The Grand Highlander’s standard AWD gives drivers excellent confidence in Colorado snow and mountain driving.
Additional features include third row seating with huge panoramic screen setup and excellent visibility. The cargo space offers up to 97.5 cubic feet of space with seats folded and plenty of USB ports and cup holders for passengers.
The Grand Highlander Platinum Hybrid might be Toyota’s best all-around family SUV has ever built, combining genuine performance, real third-row comfort, and hybrid efficiency in a package that’s hard to beat.
