New Features of the 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander

The 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander has arrived, bringing new trims, advanced technology, and design upgrades that blend versatility and sophistication for families and adventurers alike. Known for its spacious three-row seating and reliable performance, the Grand Highlander continues to evolve, catering to the practical needs of Rhode Island drivers and adding the style and comfort they love.

Introducing the Hybrid Nightshade and LE Grades

The 2025 Grand Highlander lineup welcomes the bold Hybrid Nightshade Edition and the value-packed LE Grade.

• Hybrid Nightshade Edition: This model stands out with its blacked-out exterior accents, including striking black 20-inch wheels and darkened mirror caps, door handles, and spoiler. Available in shades like Midnight Black Metallic, Wind Chill Pearl, and Cement, the Hybrid Nightshade doesn’t just turn heads on Post Road but also enhances comfort with leather-trimmed seating, heated seats, and a JBL® premium audio system that transforms every commute, whether it’s to Quonset Point or a weekend drive to the peaceful views of Rome Point Preserve.
• LE Grade: Perfect for families who appreciate both space and value, the LE Grade offers comfortable 8-passenger seating and thoughtful features like a 12.3-inch touchscreen and multi-zone climate control. With its 2.5L Hybrid and 2.4L turbocharged gas powertrain options, the LE is built for both efficiency and power, keeping up with the demands of daily drives through Wickford Village or along Route 102.

Powertrain Options to Fit Every Driving Style

The Grand Highlander provides three unique powertrain options to fit any driver’s preference:

1. 2.4L Turbocharged Gas Engine: This powertrain produces 265 horsepower, delivering steady power for your everyday routes on Route 138 or longer weekend excursions.
2. 2.5L Hybrid Engine: The hybrid model combines efficiency and practicality, making it a solid choice for those prioritizing fuel savings while commuting.
3. Hybrid MAX Powertrain: With an impressive 362 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque, the Hybrid MAX is made for thrill-seekers and comes standard with all-wheel drive for excellent handling on New England’s winding roads.

All powertrain options can be equipped with AWD, so whether you’re navigating winter roads or heading to Wilson Park for some outdoor fun, the Grand Highlander offers secure and stable handling.

Technology and Safety for Today’s Drivers

Toyota’s latest technology suite in the Grand Highlander brings a safer, more connected experience. Standard on all trims is Toyota’s Audio Multimedia system with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, displayed on a sleek 12.3-inch touchscreen. Higher trims feature additional tech, like Traffic Jam Assist, which takes the stress out of stop-and-go traffic on busier routes, including the popular commute along Route 4.

Safety is a priority in the Grand Highlander. Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0 comes standard, with advanced features such as Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Tracing Assist, and Road Sign Assist. These technologies add peace of mind on every drive, whether you’re heading to Goddard Memorial State Park or just running errands around North Kingstown.

Spacious and Comfortable Design

Built with families in mind, the Grand Highlander offers room to spare with adult-sized third-row seating and a massive 97.5 cubic feet of cargo space when the second and third rows are folded. Additional thoughtful touches like a sliding console cover, multi-zone climate control, and USB ports in each row make it easy for passengers to stay comfortable and connected on long drives or family road trips.
