I had a 2023 rav4 woodland edition and traded it within 3 month due to excessive wind noise from trunk area, roof leak from roof rack, rattle in passenger door and approx the same mpg as our grand Highlander hybrid (non max). The grand Highlander is a vast improvement over a rav4 in my opinion.

We bought a GH Platinum Hybrid Max in Sepember of 2023. It now has 7650 miles on it. Over the weekend I drove from South Lake Tahoe, CA to Albany, Oregon and back for a total 1135 miles - I set the odometer at 0 at the start of the trip and didnt clear the mpg between refueling. That trip went over several mountain passes, through rain and sleet, driving around town a bit. My speed was set at 67 miles an hour on the freeway. When I arrived back in SLT the mpg showed an overall average of 27.6 mpg. OUTSTANDING ! Full-time AWD, 400lb of torque...oh what fun it is !!!!!! And...everyone stop worrying about that one cannot put more than 13-14 gallons when empty in the tank. Toyota purposefully left a greater margin of fuel in the tank so not to damage the Turbo. I get 375 miles from one tank (13-14 gallons) = 27.5mpg

The MPG difference most likely comes from the increased size of the wheels on the limited and platinum. All that extra mass to rotate consumes more energy vs rotating air volume and minor tire sidewall on a small wheel.

I began shopping for a Grand Highlander XLE in June 2023. My local dealer (FL) said they would add a $10k "market adjustment" to the MSRP. I declined and contacted the dealer where I bought my last Toyota (PA), an Avalon hybrid, and was told they would order a new vehicle for me and sell at MSRP. The downside is that it took 7 months to get what I wanted (XLE hybrid with 2nd row bench seat, gray interior). We'll be picking it up in January 2024. The XLE has everything my wife and I need with the exception of a driver's side memory function. I believe that feature should be standard for all Grand Highlanders. Our Avalon has that feature, and we use it routinely.

We are buying a Grand Highlander in the Platinum edition! We decided to get the Platinum because, to be honest, I loved all the things that were on it, plus the one that was coming to the dealer was red! We had to reserve one to get that color, plus the black interior and trim package. My husband just bought a red Toyota Tundra limited edition, and it came fully loaded, and he absolutely loves it! Now, does he know what all it has on it? No, but I have gone over every single item on the spec sheet on my Platinum edition Grand Highlander and could probably tell him what he has on his limited truck because I see a lot of the same things that are on my Platinum edition Grand Highlander. I probably would have been okay with a Limited, but almost everything that I wanted was already on that model. I also wanted the Captains chairs, and the Limited that was coming in had a bench seat. In hind site, I probably should have tried to get one with a bench seat because we have two young granddaughters ages 4 yrs and 2 yrs old, and one on the way but I don't plan on taking all three out at one time. We will probably take the older two out, but as of now, we only take the 4 yr old out with us. Being grandparents, we can be choosy that way. Anyway, it was hard to get a new truck and a new car at the same time, but my husband's Ford truck just died and my daughter wanted to buy our 2015 Highlander since she was having a third kid and her Honda Pilot was falling apart. So, we just bit the bullet and bought both of them. Thanks for your review. It was so nice to see a review on the gasoline models and not the hybrids for a change. We didn't look into the hybrids because we had bought two Prius hybrid ones, and both had to have their batteries replaced more than one time. So, we are a little gun shy with the hybrids. Anyway, thanks again! Laura 😊

According to Toyota website, there is not much of a difference in cargo volume between Sequioa and Grand Highlander. If anything the Grand Highlander has more cargo space. Also, the Sequioa does not lay flat for 3rd row.. Sequioa: Cargo volume (cu. ft.) (behind front/second-row/third-row seats (sliding)) * 86.9/49.0/22.3-11.5 Grand Highlander: Cargo volume (cu. ft.) (behind front/second-row/third-row seats (up)) * 97.5/57.9/20.6 It does appear you get more space around seats though(Taller and wider) with sequioa..

We have a 2014 Highlander platinum. Terrific vehicle but just a touch on the small side for our family now. Love the panoramic sunroof. If we were to get the grand highlander, I would really want the 360 camera. We’re a city family and find ourselves parallel parking regularly. I have scratched up the rims on both our cars over the years getting too close to curbs. I think those new cameras could help quite a bit. But I wish they included the bench seat option in the higher trim levels. We have 2 boys and regularly carpool for sports. Our 2017 Odyssey has a 2nd row bench with the middle seat that can actually be removed. It’s great to have the flexibility of adding another kid in the second row rather than sending someone back to the 3rd row.

Big water,tmp display, traffic assist? Yall need to buy a tesla. Sorry a toyota suv is a simple no frills suv which limits tech on purpose because it causes issues thats it. i just got an XLE with bench seat in coastal creme. Really nice vehicle. Only 2 issues i have are center console is large not allowing leg spread like i enjoy, and second the engine is buzzy and loud since its a turbo 4, it has plenty of pickup but lacks the feel of the 6 cycliner.

@@MOHAWKAUTO styling, interior trim. To me the interior trim of a Highlander Limited looks the best. Dash. And screen look sharp. My 2015 Highlander with 111,000 miles drives, feels, and looks like a brand new car. PS, I also had a 2008 Highlander Hybrid. I should have never traded it.

I have a ‘21 Highlander platinum. It has the reverse mirror tilt you can turn on or off. I have 6 cylinder and after 15,000 miles my average mpg I’d 23.7.

I don't believe that the Grand Highlander we tested had reverse tilt mirrors. I couldn't see an option for them either on Toyota's website. However, they do have a Curb View camera angle that seems to have replaced the tilt mirrors and aid in parallel parking and minimizing curbing the wheels.

@MOHAWKAUTO I have GH XLE Hybrid...(Around 36.5 mpg so far best avg) does not come with the 360 camera view or ventilated seats. I have softex seats, heated 1rst row seats, integrated dashcam(save on car insurance), captain chairs on second row, panoramic moonroof, etc. In Mississippi we paid 52k whereas Limited runs about 58k+ and platinum runs around 61-63k+... Rare for dealers here to offer MSRP now without HIGH markup. We built ours and have great gas mileage. The XLE Hybrid was less and still has pretty much all the features. Love it! 2 months in and no regrets! I hear pretty much all dealers have halted orders for anything other than platinums until early 2024... at least here and surrounding states. Glad we ordered ours in September!
