The Best Toyota SUV Isn't the RAV4, 4Runner or Sequoia

Toyota’s SUV lineup spans from the Corolla Cross to the full-size three-row Sequoia, but the Grand Highlander stands out as the best value in the brand’s current range, according to Autoblog and Yahoo. The 2026 Grand Highlander, introduced for the 2024 model year, uses Toyota’s TNGA-K unibody platform. It offers a 265-hp 2.4-liter turbo, a 245-hp 2.5-liter hybrid, or a 362-hp Hybrid MAX with the 2.4 turbo plus electric motors. Buyers can choose LE, XLE, Limited, Nightshade, or Platinum, with FWD or AWD. A 12.3-inch infotainment screen with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto is standard. Prices start at $42,260, with towing rated between 3,500 and 5,000 lbs.
