In our testing, the combination of a turbo 2.4-liter inline-four and two electric motors makes for a quick mid-size SUV, and the fuel economy isn't bad either.
The Grand Highlander also lives up to the brand's reputation for fuel-efficient hybrids—at least in relative terms. While the Hybrid Max model doesn't achieve Prius-level MPG numbers, it was the thriftiest SUV in our test, averaging 25 mpg over our 650-mile comparison loop. That beats the EPA's 22 mpg combined rating.
While the Hybrid Max is considerably more expensive than the 2024 Grand Highlander's lesser powertrains, which include a nonhybrid turbocharged 2.4-liter inline-four and a less powerful but more efficient hybrid with a nonturbo 2.5-liter gas engine, we think the upgrade is worth it. The Hybrid Max setup is available only on the Limited and Platinum trim levels, which both carry starting prices above $55,000.
