@RaitisRides Agree. But does the top tier hybrid max offset that? Have a 2019 Pilot and that engine seems fine but the Grand Highlander is slightly larger yet the 2 lower engine options are 30hp less.
Rented one for a weekend trip, about 400 miles each way. Truck impressed me immensely. Super comfortable. Handled well, quick, all the tech you need and looks good. If I was in market for something in this range its a good choice.
What’s the point of hopping in the third row when the second row isn’t in place so people can determine the space that’s available, if any? I’ll never understand that.
In the Grand Highlander they make it so you can take it out. If you have that big of an issue of it take it out and put it somewhere. If you aren’t gonna use the third row then why buy a mid-size SUV. Just buy a RAV4 or a 4Runner.

When--not if--people discover that this is a solid,dependable aerodynamic brick and not just a stylish,car-based crossover,this'll be the next-gen Highlander in no time while the name "Grand Highlander," is probably passed on to the Land Cruiser replacement. 😳
Can't wait to have one ,very good I love it ,I been waiting for so long to have make one like this specialist third row leg room, I'm waiting for booking open to order one, I love it complete new shape ,I'm very excited
@ Joe Raiti. Why is the maxx engine mated to a 6-speed transmission? Wouldn't Toyota's tried and proven 8-speed tranny or the new 10-speed gearbox do better for both performance and fuel efficiency?
20.6 cubic feet behind the third row 97.5 cubic feet of space behind first row 33.5 inches of third row leg room 37.2 inches of headroom in the third row
Considering the 2023 Highlander starts at $36.6k and can go up to roughly $54k (top trim with options), I am guessing the 2024 Grand Highlander will start in the $40k range, and end somewhere in the $60k range. Going into $80k+ would be stupid, even $70k+ is pushing it. At that point, your paying luxury/Sequoia levels of money. Might as well jump to a almost loaded Tahoe, or Yukon at that point….
Toyota had such a fantastic 3.5 liter naturally aspirated V6. Why not offering a hybrid with that engine. These new small engines with turbos never last and Toyota has already plenty of Turbo issues with the new Tundra. Probably makes the switch from ICE to BEV easy for Toyota customers.
If they offer the same hybrid engine (not hybrid max) as in the regular highlander hybrid im down to buying it as it has a Naturally aspirated engine, idc about performance i just will buy it no doubt Edit: well this vid said it has that powertrain, that would be the one I’m picking
@@lightshunshine3861 why cant toyota remake the V6 engine again like honda's V6 which passes Emission standards cause turbo well for sure it passes the emission standards but it doesent have the same power as the V6 engine does.
@@everydayfun9531 I want to ask you, for the current era, which Honda cars (the newest version, not the old version) use the V6 in Europe and in Asia besides the NSX?

Man, this has a lot of Mazda styling in it! From control knobs, switches, buttons, to interior materials used on the seats and trim pieces! 🤔 so I guess it was true that Toyota teamed up with Mazda to trade their hybrid technology for Mazda’s affordable interior luxury quality.
Its a full size crossover, but a body on frame three row is bigger than a three row crossover. Therefore, this is a midsize suv overall and the Sequoia is full size
Wow, Toyota finally caught up with everyone else on the tech side of things...lol. Too bad all their current offerings are still using old tech. How long will Toyota wait until they've refreshed all their current offerings with this new tech in the Grand Highlander? I'd really like to buy a Sienna Platinum, but I'll hold off if they plan on putting this new tech in there for the 2024 model year.
Grand Highlander is a midsize? Serious segment creep there. Forbes classifies midsize SUVs as 187 to 201 inches in length. This new Grand Highlander is 201.4" so no longer a midsize.
@@digitaldoc100 Toyota categorizes Sequioa and Laand Cruiser as full size SUVs and Highlanders, Grand Highlanders, 4runners are included in the midsize segment, even journalists also say that the Grand Highlander is not a full size but a mid size unibody SUV, and according to information in Japan, Toyota will release a Toyota century SUV (JDM only) as a full size unibody suv
@@lightshunshine3861 I totally understand how they want to categorize it, but I am respectfully disagreeing with this. The Highlander is already quite large and stretches the limits of a midsize, and the Grand Highlander takes it a step beyond. By the definition on Forbes, it has surpassed the midsize segment.
@@digitaldoc100 size categorization is different, dude. Do you know the Toyota Land Cruiser or not? The land cruiser has always been categorized as a full-size SUV, but the length of the car is only 4,985mm. Don't rely too much on Forbes, because the automotive industry doesn't rely on them either.
The problem Toyota has is they have their fancy brand already, so they design some new systems and controls but then gotta back the design down about 20% in the flash department so it doesn’t take away from the Lexus brand. So their 80’s style environmental controls redesign with old school digital display in the middle (which I know is classic…but still) just seems so out of step. When the chev travers me executes it better (and it pains me to say that) I have to wonder why Toyota doesn’t ease up a bit and stop treating their biggest sellers like paupers that can be nice, but not tooo nice. Amazing dash -> old school environmental controls -> more awesome dash with cool material -> 90’s window switches 🤦

Hope toyota does not have a supply issue in 2023. Sienna still has a wait, will this grand highlander feel that pressure? And no markups
It’s going to be mark up city until 2025 brother trust me mid 2024. I work at a Honda dealership and no markups is practically impossible
Mark ups are the dumb dealers, nothing to do with Toyota as a company.
Its probably gonna have alot of demand since many families want a car like this.

I like this model Joe. Thanks for the videos.
You are so very welcome!
Most of the SUVs have a third row - you can’t delete it. No one uses that and it adds weight - eats up storage space. Make it optional.
Speak for yourself, it's great for those of us with multiple kids and their friends

Great idea doing a shorts video!
Would Toyota have a redesign Camry for the 2024 edition in July?
I love the look and everything about it. But will the 4 cyl hybrid be enough to haul this massive thing overtime with no issues?
It is a Toyota so you know that it will last.

Everything looks good except the grey headliner.. I've seen it black on some GH. Looks much more luxury.
i love how they scoot up the middle seat to show space in the last row… when you know from other videos its cramped!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
There he is. The man who loves to store food in random places. 🎉
Price will tell the entire story. So far, a great option. I wish it had a V6 but they know this is a soccer mom SUV. So I get it.
My question is, would you buy it?

How is it midsize if it's 3 rows?
Its a full size crossover, but a body on frame three row is bigger than a three row crossover. Therefore, this is a midsize suv overall and the Sequoia is full size
Need the 6 back no 4
So very true about that!
Engine options are trash bring back the v6
The back looks like the Honda pilot 🥴
So basically a bigger rav4?.... Awesoooooome!!!🎉😱🥳
Nice refrigerator
I wonder how long this engine will last. 4 cyl 350 hp turbo engine with this big body. It’ll be interesting.
The hybrid tech will be its saving grace in reliability. But the non hybrid turbo model for sure will have issues
Midsize????
The scaled down version of the Lexus TX 350/500/550. Nice car to be sure, but I'll take the Lexus!!!
crazy how it’s a midsize but longer then a highlander

Rather have a Sienna and actually give 3rd row passengers actual head and leg room at the fraction of the cost as this

Lexus needs a 3 row to
oh man, toyota releasing the same car for the last 10 years....
A 4 cylinder…?
TOYOTA...😊
It's still smaller than the Sienna and costs much more
Why can’t they put some fancy gear lever
These sore thumb like gear liver ruining cabin’s beauty
Awesome :D 🎉
Grand sienna with more power, please!
finally turbo. sienna and oddysey and pilot need turbos
I am sure they are coming!
Get back to me when they put the V6 back in it.
Where is the V8 god damn it!
