Engineered to carry families, gear, and ambitions with equal confidence, the 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander HYBRID LIMITED in 01L6 Storm Cloud is built for drivers who want three-row versatility without giving up efficiency, technology, or refinement. This is a New All Wheel Drive hybrid SUV that places comfort and connectivity at the center of every trip, whether it’s a short school run or a full vehicle packed for a weekend away. At the heart of this Grand Highlander HYBRID LIMITED is a Dynamic Force 2.5L I-4 DOHC engine paired with a hybrid electric system using a Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery and hybrid electric motor alternator. The combination works with a CVTi-S continuously variable transmission and automatic full-time AWD to deliver smooth, efficient performance in city and highway driving.

Auto stop-start helps conserve fuel at stops, while Drive Mode Select lets the driver tailor throttle and drivetrain response to conditions. Regenerative brakes recapture energy during deceleration, and a standard ride suspension with independent front and rear setups, gas-pressurized shock absorbers, and multi-link rear suspension balances comfort with confident control. Inside, the HYBRID LIMITED cabin focuses on upscale comfort and smart use of space. Leather seating surfaces are provided in all three rows, with heated and ventilated front bucket seats, heated second-row captain’s chairs, and a 60/40 folding third row with manual fold-into-floor capability. Both front seats offer 8-way power adjustability, while the driver gains 2-way power lumbar support and memory settings for seat and mirrors. Tri-row comfort is further enhanced with automatic climate control, dual-zone front climate control, and a dedicated rear climate control system with separate controls, under-seat ducts, and headliner/pillar ducts to help maintain even temperatures throughout.

High-end materials such as simulated wood and metal-look accents, a leather steering wheel, and leather and metal-look shifter details reinforce a premium feel. Technology is a major strength of this Grand Highlander HYBRID LIMITED, anchored by an impressive 12.3-inch primary touchscreen display as part of the Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen system. This interface is designed to be the central hub for information, audio, navigation, and connectivity, supported by a full digital gauge cluster screen and a configurable instrumentation display that includes ECO feedback, traction battery level, and power/regeneration gauges. Over-the-air updates help keep key systems current without a dealership visit. Apple CarPlay integration is a standout highlight. With smart device wireless mirroring, you can bring your compatible iPhone’s key apps, messages, maps, and playlists directly to the 12.3-inch touchscreen, minimizing distraction and maximizing familiarity.

The interface is optimized so that voice, steering-wheel, and touchscreen controls work together, enabling quick access to directions, calls, and audio while keeping your hands on the wheel. Toyota Assistant adds voice-activated support, so you can request routes, adjust climate settings, or manage audio without taking your eyes off the road. Android Auto compatibility is equally emphasized, offering seamless access to Google Maps, media, and communication apps from compatible Android smartphones. Wireless smart device mirroring reduces cable clutter and lets Android users leverage their favorite navigation and streaming services directly through the Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen. Voice commands through Google Assistant-style interactions make hands-free use more natural, particularly on longer drives. Drive Connect Cloud Navigation with a 3-year trial, real-time traffic and weather, and Drive Connect Destination Assist with turn-by-turn guidance further extend navigation capability beyond smartphone mirroring, giving drivers multiple options for route planning. Sound is handled by a JBL audio system with 11 speakers and a 1200W amplifier, enhanced by Clari-Fi digital signal processing to help restore detail in compressed audio sources.

AM/FM/digital/SiriusXM satellite capability and Bluetooth wireless audio streaming provide a wide range of listening choices, all adjustable via steering wheel-mounted audio controls and speed-sensitive volume. With seven USB ports, two 12V outlets, and two interior 120V AC power outlets, every row has access to power and connectivity. Safety and driver assistance in this Grand Highlander HYBRID LIMITED extend well beyond the basics. Eight airbags cover front, side, curtain, knee, and front passenger seat cushion areas, supplemented by front seatbelt pretensioners and rear child safety door locks. The vehicle includes Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Lane Tracing Assist hands-on cruise control, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Curve Speed Management, and Automatic High Beam headlights. Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian (daytime & low-light) and Bicycle (daytime) Detection, Rear Cross Traffic Brake, Blind Spot Monitor, Safe Exit Assist, Road Sign Assist, Vehicle Sway Warning, Emergency Steering Assist, and an Emergency Driving Stop System collectively work to help anticipate and mitigate potential hazards. Parking and low-speed maneuvering are supported by a Panoramic View Monitor aerial view camera system, front camera, right and left side cameras, and a rear camera with washer.

Front and rear parking sensors provide audible and visual feedback, while a rear lip spoiler, LED headlights and fog lights, LED daytime running lights, and LED brake lights contribute to visibility and presence. All-speed ABS with brake assist, electronic stability control, trailer sway control, Hill Start Assist Control, and Downhill Assist Control add confidence on varying terrain. Everyday usability is reinforced with smart key access and push-button start, Remote Connect Digital Key (3-year trial) that allows smart device-as-key functionality, keyfob remote start, and smart device remote start via the Toyota App. A power liftgate simplifies cargo loading, and the roll-up cargo cover and concealed storage help keep belongings out of sight. Roof rails expand cargo possibilities for larger items, while 20 x 7.5-inch machined aluminum wheels with P255/55VR20 all-season tires offer a strong visual stance. With only 3 kilometers on the odometer and fuel economy ratings of 6.6 L/100 km city and 7.4 L/100 km highway (as provided), this 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander HYBRID LIMITED balances three-row practicality, hybrid efficiency, and a sophisticated technology suite.

Its emphasis on advanced connectivity—especially Apple CarPlay and Android Auto delivered through the Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen—positions it as a highly capable, modern family SUV that keeps every seat informed, entertained, and comfortable.
