The 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid MAX enters the 3-Row ring up against some very stiff competition in the shape of the Kia Telluride and the Hyundai Palisade, but things look quite promising glancing at the spec sheet and its obvious the Korean SUVs are in for a tough time.
First off it’s a completely new vehicle that is not just a stretched Highlander, in fact, it's considerably larger in every other dimension too. It fits into the Toyota lineup between the standard Highlander which is too small to be a three-row and the larger Sequoia.

If you're going to do Off Road, EXTERIOR shots of that would be MOST APPROPRIATE!
