2025 Toyota Grand Highlander Consumer Reviews

2024 Grand Highlander Limited
I have only had the 2024 Grand Highlander for two weeks but so far, it more than exceeds my expectations. Initially was intending to purchase a standard Highlander but after a side by side compare my wife and I both preferred the Grand Highlander. It has a more spacious feeling interior and more headroom. The Limited model standard features and safety features are a lot more than any vehicle I have previously owned. In the drivers seat, the view out the front window feels very similar to that of my 2006 Tundra crew cab. Setting side by side next to each other in the garage they look very close in exterior size. The turbo 4 cyl engine is very strong in acceleration and gets up to freeway speeds snappily and the interior is quiet at highway speeds.

Poor quality
The Engine is too loud. The hood shakes at speeds over 50 and the metal shows “oil canning” due to the high speeds IE small dents The ambient lighting is very poor compared to the Limited Highlander.

Love my Grand Highlander
I’m a 72 yr old that has my grandkids everyday and my Toyota Grand Highlander is my favorite car. At times we have 7 people in our car. It rides amazing and I’ve only taken it in for oil changes and maintenance. The only thing I didn’t like on my 2024 was that I only got one set of keys and they should of gave me another set.

Great mileage, soft rear suspension
My Grand Highlander has a standard hybrid power train. While it delivers pretty amazing mpg, especially at lower elevations and high temperatures, it is somewhat tiresome to drive. I drive long distances with little stopping time, so am always aware of how tired I am upon arrival. I went from a 2015 Toyota Avalon to the Grand Highlander, so I know not to expect the same stick to the road handling. The rear suspension seems way too soft for a vehicle of this size and weight. It gives you a feeling of tail wagging the dog as you go swaying down the interstate. Between that and the annoying tech features like lane correction, and adaptive cruise, you feel like you are constantly jerking and weaving down the road. The annoying tech seems to turn the features back on by themselves even after I repeatedly turn them off. Must be every time they update the software. I miss the plain simple design of Toyotas long standing cruise control also. I changed my tires out for ones with a stiffer sidewalk which was a tiny improvement on the swaying of the rear. I hope they come out with some kind of a stabilizer bar for the rear of this vehicle soon. Compared to the way a standard Highlander handles the road, Toyota might have been a little quick with this design and overlooked some of the problems with handling. If you are driving at night and see something in the road that you have to dodge quickly because the vehicles cameras do not see it, you have to fight the lane correction feature. Otherwise than these handling issues it is a good car.

Not as I expected
It was not as I expected being a previous Highlander owner. It was bulky and didn’t feel solid when I drove. Very boxy feeling. The leather seats were very uncomfortable due to the fancy stitching.
