Engine Specs and MPG Ratings
The 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid offers two versatile powertrain options, letting you choose between fuel-sipping efficiency and turbocharged performance. The standard hybrid setup combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with two electric motors, delivering a balanced 245 horsepower which makes it perfect for daily driving and long hauls alike. For those seeking more punch, the Hybrid MAX powertrain pairs a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with an electric motor, cranking out an impressive 362 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. The standard hybrid utilizes a CVT transmission for smooth, seamless power delivery, while the Hybrid MAX gets a sportier six-speed automatic for quicker response. The Grand Highlander Hybrid shines where it counts — offering a comfortable, composed ride that’s ideal for running errands, hauling the family, or hitting the highway for a road trip. The front-wheel-drive 2.5-liter hybrid takes the crown for efficiency with an EPA-estimated 37 mpg city and 34 mpg highway (dropping slightly to 36/32 mpg with all-wheel drive). Meanwhile, the more powerful Hybrid MAX, available exclusively with all-wheel drive on Limited and Platinum trims, earns a respectable 26 mpg city and 27 mpg highway.
Interior Highlights
The 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid exists to take everything drivers love about the standard Highlander and scale it up, especially when it comes to interior space and third-row comfort with 5.5 extra inches of legroom and 2.5 more inches of shoulder room in the third row. The cabin design also gets a refresh, featuring a more balanced, symmetrical dashboard that feels both modern and practical. The entry-level trim is packed with thoughtful features families will appreciate, including a power liftgate, heated front seats, second-row sunshades, and an array of USB ports and power outlets to keep everyone’s devices charged. Seating configurations are flexible — an eight-passenger layout comes standard with a second-row bench seat, while captain’s chairs are available for those who prefer a seven-seat setup. Every 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid boasts a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen running Toyota’s latest software, offering a clean, intuitive interface. The XLE features a 7-inch digital gauge cluster, while the Limited and Platinum trims step it up with a larger 12.3-inch digital display. A wireless charging pad is standard across the lineup, and those opting for Limited or Platinum trims can enjoy an upgraded 11-speaker JBL audio system for a more immersive sound experience.
Trim Options
The 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid is available for sale at Dublin Toyota in six unique trim levels: LE, XLE, Limited, Nightshade, MAX Limited and MAX Platinum. Let’s review the highlights of each below. The entry-level LE model is well-appointed with 18-inch 5-spoke silver-painted wheels, three-zone automatic climate control, and plush fabric seating. Customers will appreciate conveniences like the 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and the 6-speaker sound system. We love the second-row sunshades that keep the kiddos cool. Next up is the XLE, which showcases a 7-inch digital gauge cluster, 18-inch alloy wheels, LED tail lights, and the adjustable power liftgate with jam protection. Interior comforts include seven USB-C ports, a 120V auxiliary AC power outlet, SofTex-trimmed seats, heated front seats, and a Smart Key System on all doors. Up your exterior game with the Limited, which boasts 20-inch silver-finished multi-spoke wheels, LED fog lights, and height-adjustable foot-activated power liftgate. The interior experience is elevated with an 11-speaker JBL Premium Audio system that includes a subwoofer and amplifier, leather-trimmed heated and ventilated front seats, and leather-trimmed heated second-row captain’s chairs. Get mysterious with the 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid Nightshade model, which slips into the night with 20-inch black alloy wheels and black exterior trim elements including black-painted roof rails, black-painted front hood trim, black outside door handles, a black rear spoiler, and black badging on the rear liftgate. Now entering MAX territory, the MAX Limited model features the Hybrid MAX 2.4-liter Turbo Performance engine which pounds out 362 horsepower combined. The exterior boasts 20-inch two-tone multi-spoke machined black wheels and LED fog lights, while the cabin gets a leather-trimmed steering wheel with paddle shifters, two 120V outlets, and leather-trimmed seating. Resting at the top of the trim hierarchy is the MAX Platinum.
