Slide a hand across the supple SofTex upholstery, feel the warmth of the heated steering wheel come alive, and notice how the world outside fades—replaced by a calm, composed stillness and the glow of a wide 12.3-inch touchscreen poised at center stage.
This pre-owned 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander XLE is the rare three-row SUV that blends everyday comfort with long-haul stamina. Its proportions are purposeful and athletic—silver 18-inch alloy wheels, black bodyside cladding, and a tidy rear lip spoiler telegraph capability without noise.
The stance is sure-footed thanks to a full-time all-wheel-drive system that reads changing conditions and delivers traction with quiet confidence, while Selectable Terrain Modes and Hill Start/Downhill Assist add poise when pavement gives way to gravel or steep grades.
Underneath the calm, an intercooled 2.4-liter turbocharged engine links to an 8-speed automatic for smooth, unruffled momentum, whether merging, passing, or easing through traffic. The suspension is tuned for everyday refinement—struts up front, multi-link in the rear—backed by gas-pressurized shocks and four-wheel ventilated discs that bring progressive, reassuring stops. Steering assistance smartly varies with speed, keeping the big Toyota light in town and settled on the highway. Start/stop technology and low-emissions credentials help tone the daily footprint without adding complication.
Inside, thoughtful details reveal themselves with every reach: 13 beverage holders for busy carpools, clever console storage for the things you need now, and a roll-up cargo cover that keeps gear discreet.
The second row slides and reclines to balance legroom and access, while both the second and third rows fold flat to create a long, level load floor. A power liftgate makes the weekly haul effortless; tie-downs and concealed storage keep it orderly.
Technology is intuitive and unintrusive. Wireless smartphone mirroring, Bluetooth streaming, and SiriusXM (trial subscription) pair seamlessly with the vivid central display, while seven USB ports and Qi wireless charging keep every device topped up. A 7-inch driver display distills the essentials—speed, navigation prompts, driving data—at a glance. Remote services through the Toyota App, Smart Key access with push-button start, HomeLink, and over-the-air update capability tie the experience together with modern polish.
Confidence comes standard with Toyota’s suite of driver assistance.
Full-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Curve Speed Management, Lane Tracing Assist, Road Sign Assist, and Automatic High Beams help ease fatigue. Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Safe Exit Assist, and a vigilant Pre-Collision System with Intersection Support, pedestrian (day and low-light) and bicycle detection add layers of awareness, while eight airbags, stability control, and trailer sway control stand ready in the background.
For families, adventurers, and anyone who values quiet capability, this Grand Highlander XLE delivers an elegant, measured answer: space without bulk, strength without swagger, and technology that supports rather than distracts—all wrapped in a finish that looks as deep as the night sky.
