Set your sights on the open road and bring the whole crew along—this 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander HYBRID LIMITED in striking 01L5 Heavy Metal is built to turn big plans into everyday reality. With three usable rows, premium comfort, and intelligent hybrid performance, it’s an SUV that doesn’t just carry your life; it helps organize and elevate it. Under the hood, the Dynamic Force 2.5L I-4 DOHC engine works in tandem with a hybrid electric motor system and nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery to deliver confident power with hybrid efficiency. The CVTi-S CVT with overdrive and lock-up transmission keeps acceleration smooth and responsive, while the automatic full-time AWD system is always ready for changing weather and road conditions. Drive Mode Select lets you tailor the driving experience, and features like Hill Start Assist Control (HAC), Downhill Assist Control (DAC), and trailer sway control add reassurance when roads get challenging. Where this Grand Highlander HYBRID LIMITED truly excels is inside the cabin.

Three rows of seating, including second-row captain’s chairs and a 60/40 split-folding third row that manually folds into the floor, give you flexible space for passengers and cargo. Heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, leather seat upholstery, and a heated leather steering wheel create a genuinely upscale, all-weather-ready interior. Power-adjustable front seats with driver memory for door mirrors, height-adjustable head restraints in all three rows, and multiple storage solutions—including a full floor console, removable rear console, and generous bins and pockets—make long days on the move more organized and comfortable. Technology is a major strength here, with a cockpit designed around clear information and easy control. A 12.3-inch primary touchscreen display anchors the Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen interface, backed by JBL speakers, an impressive 1200W amplifier, Clari-Fi digital signal processing, and 11 speakers for rich, immersive sound.

Smart device wireless mirroring and front wireless smart device charging support modern devices, complemented by 7 USB ports, 2 12V outlets, and 2 interior 120V AC power outlets. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration are stand-out features in this Grand Highlander HYBRID LIMITED, moving beyond simple pairing to become an integral part of your daily drive. With Apple CarPlay, your compatible iPhone’s familiar ecosystem comes to life on the large 12.3-inch touchscreen: access Apple Maps, music, podcasts, messages, and key apps via intuitive tiles and icons that feel natural from the first drive. Voice control works hand in hand with Toyota Assistant, so you can send and receive messages, cue playlists, or set directions while keeping your hands on the wheel and attention on the road.

Seamless transitions between native Toyota Audio Multimedia controls and Apple CarPlay screens make this SUV feel like an extension of your phone—without the distraction of holding it. Android Auto receives equally robust support for compatible Android devices. The layout is clean and driver-focused, giving you smart access to Google Maps or other supported navigation apps, your preferred streaming services, and voice-controlled messaging through your phone’s assistant. Combined with Bluetooth wireless audio streaming, speed-sensitive volume, and steering wheel-mounted audio controls, Android Auto in this Grand Highlander HYBRID LIMITED helps you manage calls, media, and directions with minimal distraction. The system’s smart device wireless mirroring means fewer cables and clutter, reinforcing a streamlined, modern driving environment. Beyond smartphone integration, this SUV delivers advanced connectivity in nearly every aspect of the drive.

Drive Connect Cloud Navigation with a 3-year trial offers integrated navigation with voice activation, while Drive Connect Destination Assist provides turn-by-turn guidance and live help finding points of interest. Real-time traffic and weather information enhance route planning, and over the air updates help keep key systems current. The Toyota App and Remote Connect (3-year trial) add remote-activated interior climate preconditioning, selective service internet access, smart device-as-key functionality via Remote Connect Digital Key (3-year trial), and smart device remote start. SafetyConnect® (5-year minimum) and Service Connect (up to 10-year trial) bring vehicle tracking, SOS emergency assistance, and service interval information into a connected ownership experience. Safety and driver assistance are comprehensive and thoughtfully integrated. Toyota Safety Sense™ technologies support you with Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Lane Tracing Assist, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Curve Speed Management, Road Sign Assist, Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian (daytime & low-light) and Bicycle (daytime) Detection, Emergency Steering Assist, and Proactive Driving Assist with Deceleration Assist.

Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross Traffic Brake, Safe Exit Assist, External acoustic pedestrian alert, and the Emergency Driving Stop System further extend protection. Eight airbags, including a driver knee airbag and front passenger seat cushion airbag, are supported by electronic stability control, antilock brakes, regenerative braking with brake assist, and a tire-specific low-pressure warning system. Outside, the Grand Highlander HYBRID LIMITED presents a confident, refined appearance. 20 x 7.5-inch machined alloy wheels with painted accents, metallic monotone paint in Heavy Metal, body-coloured bumpers and door mirrors, black bodyside cladding, a rear lip spoiler, roof rails, LED low and high beam projector headlights with Automatic High Beam, LED fog lights, and LED daytime running lights create a modern, purposeful look. Power folding heated mirrors with integrated turn signals and tilt-down in reverse add both style and practicality, while a power liftgate simplifies cargo loading. Practical touches are everywhere: a panoramic glass sunroof with power sunshade, rear side window sunblinds, deep-tinted windows, roll-up cargo cover, cargo tie-downs, and concealed storage in the cargo area all support family life and travel.

Rain-sensing wipers, heated wiper park, rear wiper with washer, and laminated side glass enhance visibility and cabin comfort, while ambient lighting and fade-in/fade-out courtesy lights refine the interior experience. Combining hybrid efficiency, all-weather capability, advanced connectivity, and three-row comfort, this 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander HYBRID LIMITED in 01L5 Heavy Metal stands out as a sophisticated, technology-forward SUV ready for everything from daily commutes to multi-day road trips—especially for drivers who expect their Apple CarPlay and Android Auto experience to be as polished and capable as the vehicle itself.
