An advanced turbocharged powertrain and a richly appointed, technology-forward cabin define this 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander LIMITED All-Wheel Drive, presented in striking 0218 Midnight Black Metallic. With only 11 kilometers on the odometer, this new SUV blends confident performance, all-weather capability, and three-row comfort into a refined package tailored for modern families and daily commuters alike. Under the hood, a 2.4L I-4 DOHC intercooled turbo engine with 265 horsepower pairs with an 8-speed automatic transmission featuring overdrive and sequential shift control. Regular unleaded fuel, LEV3-SULEV30/Tier 3 Bin 30 emissions compliance, and Auto stop-start help balance power with efficiency, while Drive Mode Select and Selectable Terrain Modes let you tailor the driving character to road and weather conditions. Automatic full-time AWD, traction control, four-channel ABS, and stability control work together to deliver secure handling, and Hill Start Assist Control and Downhill Assist Control add reassurance on steep grades. The exterior communicates quiet confidence with body-coloured front and rear bumpers, chrome window trim, and a rear lip spoiler, all contrasted by black bodyside cladding, black wheel well trim, and roof rails.

LED low and high beam projector headlights with Automatic High Beam, LED daytime running lights, LED front fog lights, and LED brake lights enhance visibility and presence. Power-folding, heated door mirrors with integrated turn signals and tilt-down in reverse aid both safety and convenience, while a power liftgate and remote-activated perimeter approach lighting with puddle lights make loading and nighttime entry easier. Inside, the Grand Highlander LIMITED emphasizes space, comfort, and thoughtful usability. Three rows of seating accommodate passengers with a second-row captain’s-chair configuration and a third-row split-bench. Heated and ventilated leather front seats provide eight-way power adjustment for both driver and front passenger, including driver two-way power lumbar and memory settings for door mirrors. Heated second-row seats, manual reclining and fore/aft adjustment, and multiple height-adjustable head restraints support long-distance comfort, while a 60/40 manual fold-into-floor third row with reclining backrests adds flexible cargo capability. Materials and finishes are upscale yet practical, featuring leather and leatherette upholstery, simulated wood and metal-look accents on the instrument panel and doors, and a leather steering wheel and gear shifter.

Full carpet floor covering with front and rear floor mats, additional vinyl/rubber secondary mats, and a cloth headliner contribute to a well-finished environment. Thoughtful small-item storage includes a full floor console with covered storage, an overhead console, removable rear console, illuminated locking glove box, door bins, and seatback pockets, complemented by an impressive total of 13 beverage holders. Climate management is handled by automatic dual-zone front climate control with a dedicated rear climate control system and separate controls, plus rear under-seat and headliner/pillar ducts for more even airflow. A cabin air filter helps maintain interior air quality, while heated windshield wiper park and a rear window defroster support cold-weather usability. Deep-tinted windows and manual rear side window sunblinds increase comfort and privacy for rear passengers. Technology is a centerpiece in this LIMITED grade.

A 12.3-inch primary touchscreen display anchors the infotainment system, supported by Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen functionality and Toyota Assistant voice activation for both audio and climate control. A premium JBL audio system with 11 speakers, a 1200W amplifier, Clari-Fi digital signal processing, AM/FM/digital/SiriusXM satellite radio, Bluetooth wireless audio streaming, and smart device wireless mirroring delivers a robust entertainment experience. Front wireless smart device charging, seven USB ports, two 12V outlets, and an interior 120V AC power outlet keep devices powered on every row. Navigation and connected services include Drive Connect Cloud Navigation with a 3-year trial, Drive Connect Destination Assist with turn-by-turn guidance, real-time traffic and weather, and over-the-air updates. Remote Connect with a 3-year trial offers selective service internet access, smart device remote start, and Remote Connect Digital Key (3-year trial) for smart device-as-key functionality and proximity door locks, all accessible through the Toyota App.

Service Connect with up to a 10-year trial supports service interval monitoring, while SafetyConnect® (5-year minimum) provides integrated emergency SOS and vehicle tracking. The driver’s view is supported by a configurable full gauge cluster screen with a 12.3-inch display, digital/analog instrumentation, trip computer, driver information centre, and a range of status indicators including tire-specific low pressure, battery charge, and fluid level warnings. Ambient interior lighting, fade-in courtesy lights, illuminated entry, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and variable instrument panel illumination enhance nighttime usability. Safety and driver assistance systems are extensive. Toyota Safety Sense™ technologies are present, including Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian (Daytime & Low-Light) and Bicycle (Daytime) Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist and Road Edge Detection, Lane Tracing Assist, Road Sign Assist, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Curve Speed Management, Vehicle Sway Warning, and Emergency Steering Assist.

Automatic brake hold, an electronic parking brake, and proximity cargo area access release further simplify everyday tasks. Eight airbags provide occupant protection, including front, side, curtain (for all three rows), driver knee, and front passenger seat cushion airbags, supported by front seatbelt pretensioners and manual rear child safety door locks. Security measures include an immobilizer, alarm system, and integrated keyfob functions for keyless entry, remote start, trunk control, and tailgate lock integration. Rolling on 20 x 7.5-inch silver aluminum wheels with P255/55VR20 all-season tires and riding on an independent suspension with gas-pressurized shocks, the Grand Highlander LIMITED delivers a composed, comfortable ride that suits both city streets and long highway drives.
