We also appreciate the sliding cover for the large center-console bin, which Toyota says is big enough to hold a tablet.Īs is the case with all Toyotas, every Grand Highlander has a host of standard driver-assistance technology that includes adaptive cruise control, automated emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and even blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.

Toyota hasn't released outputs for either powertrain, but we're told both are essentially the same-besides the obligatory tuning changes, of course.
