Toyota Grand Highlander

The Toyota Grand Highlander is a mid-size crossover SUV with three-row seating produced by Toyota since 2023. The Grand Highlander was introduced for the North American market on February 8, 2023. While sharing the nameplate and the GA-K platform with the regular Highlander, the Grand Highlander is longer, taller, and wider, and features entirely different exterior and interior styling.

It is available in five grade levels: XLE, Limited, and Platinum since 2023, Nightshade since 2024, and LE starting in 2025. The Lexus equivalent is known as the Lexus TX, and is also exclusive to the North American market.
