Thank you Sofyan… a bunch of reviewers saying this was a bigger Highlander but honestly this looks like a much bigger RAV4 from the outside… should’ve called it the GrandRAV4 😆
Thanks for noting that, as I AM CVT averse. What’s worse than a 6-spd. A/T? A 1-spd. tranny. He said that a PHEV is a Lexus exclusive; that’s your TX 500h? (I have a Mazda CX-70 PHEV w/8-spd. A/T & 323bhp on order.)
@@user-FTRU6GJ it is considering the size and weight of this car. The Camry V6 never got 5.5 0-60 and that was significantly lighter and smaller than this.
We own this exact car. Same trim, power train, exterior and interior color. We added running boards, dashcam, mud guards and the tow package. This is the best car we've ever owned...hands down. The quality is there and it's got so much power. It gets a ton of compliments too. We are thrilled with the interior space...our last car was an Expedition and we don't feel like we're sacrificing much on the interior space.
I have the same range issue with the regular hybrid model. Toyota does not want you to damage the Hybrid system by running out of gas. Crap -ton of space in the rear ... love it. Almost as good as Ass-load of space.
I have a gas model XLE. While it says 17 gallons to fill up. In reality it will only let you fill up to 12 gallons max. Just let you jump from gas stations to gas stations. Mention it to my dealer and they said they haven’t heard of any complaints about it.
Good review. We own the Lexus RX500H with the same powertrain. I can definitely say the six speed auto is great! If it came with a CVT transmission, I would not have purchased it. The RX is definitely fast, with great suspension and brakes.
Sofyan, This is surely the best Grand Highlander for Nurburgring duty. For simply getting groceries, the ordinary, 35 mpg Hybrid is probably the better option. 😉

Sadly Toyota/Lexus lost me when i kept looking at their suvs n all of the newest gen having engine, airbag and transmission failures regardless of application or version. Really wanted a newer model but something is going very wrong there that is now5-6 current gen suvs with recalls that matter
This is what Toyota has been planning all along. They have built such reliable vehicles that it rarely saw the dealership for any major issues. So they made money up front for all the sales but made a little to nothing in maintenance. So they decided to make a crappy line so that the Toyota Techs have something to do and earn. It's kind of an "F'd" way for Toyota to go this route.
more like our cars last too long so we gonna make it less reliable so that people will have to dump our "old garbage" for new ones. They definitely got that from big 3.
Hey I have to say, this is the first suv that has used a transmission 6 speed automatic transmission in a while, most of the unreliable ones come with 8 speed to 10 speed automatic transmissions and to be honest those engines are not terrible if you break it in right when you first get one and change your oil on time, the last time I’ve heard a vehicle in the Toyota family have a 6 speed automatic transmission prolly was the Camry back in 2013 to 14 I promise those transmissions are almost bullet proof, I have a 2013 Toyota Camry se with a v6 and a 6 speed trans it’s so smooth and is so reliable I just had to share this I hope this SUV is a wake up call if it’s reliable compared to the others because that transmission is amazing.
@ they’re likely feeling the burn like everything Japanese… the slow and staying with old tech for reliability made them do some knee jerk things. Japanese brands went from the future to very dated in the last 20 years.
The 2024 Grand Highlander Hybrid Max is recalled along with every other Grand Highlander and Lexus TX. Toyota put a stop sale on them for a major safety issue with an airbag.
I LOVE this color combination! This Storm Cloud blue is unique with that distinctive Portobello brown interior which is a brand new interior color for Toyota
I have this vehicle, but the limited hybrid max. I have the same issue with the gas, I am always told I have to fill up, yet I have 5 gallons left. My husband says Toyota did it to protect the hybrid system, it’s still annoying. I do get around 30-31 miles to the gallon on the high way and 27 in town. My biggest issue is when hitting the gas the car down shifts hard which causes a jerk when trying to go. It doesn’t happen all the time but every once in a while. But compared to what I had before, this vehicle is hands down an amazing vehicle.
The GH is an amazing family hauler and I dont know how Toyota can justify selling the regular Highlander. I also struggle to go up to the TX outside of the name and dealer experience. The interior of this Platinum-spec seems more Lexus like than the actual Lexus. Sadly, these have a $3-$5K markup in our area.
Well, with that conservative fuel consumption computer you will never run out of fuel and strand yourself by accident. Not really a bad thing for practical reason. I can't wait to get mine delivered hopefully on schedule this time (it's would have been 18 months from the date I ordered to the now twice delayed scheduled delivery date). Never imagined buying a Toyota would be so difficult lol.
I’ve considered it. However, the seats are harder than the new Atlas. Shoulder room doesn’t feel as roomy as the Atlas. HybridMax is definitely faster for sure. But, many dealers around me also are offering $10-$20k over MSRP for HybridMax models
For most folks probably, if one needs more power to tow stuff and off-road the Sequoia is better there being body on frame with the more powerful powertrain
I have own this Grand Highlander Hybrid Max Limited (same color) since January 2024 and the only real complain is the fuel reading. I had let the fuel reading go all the way down to 2 miles, and the most I ever got is 13 gallon and 350 miles of range. I average around 23 mpg. Other than that I'm pretty happy with my purchase and I'm not to worry about the airbag recall. As of now, looks like Toyota have the "remedy" to fix the problem. I still need to take my in for that service. Yes, I do agree that Toyota should of have an option for middle row bench seating on the higher trim but overall, the captain chairs still work for now as my kiddos are still small where they can go back and forth without opening the door. The powertrain surprise me the most, with the combination of gas and electric, it gets up and goes pretty quick considering how big and heavy it is. 0-60 (5.5)sec. and quarter mile (14.5)sec. I did a trip driving over the cascade mountain and I was still able to pass other cars no problem in high elevation. I also drove on sand at the beach and it did great. This winter, I'll be testing it in the snow at Mt. Hood. Overall, the Grand Highlander have been a great all around, family hauler.
The fuel issue is a long discussion topic among GH owners. You are correct that the software is overly conservative in its estimation and makes us fuel when it still has 5+ gallons. Many owners have complained about this issue but Toyota doesn’t seem to think it’s an issue.
Toyota probably is conservative with the fuel range to preserve the fuel pump. Fuel does more than burn in the combustion chamber, it also cools the fuel pump. Ultimately, running the fuel low will reduce its service life.
I honestly think if Toyota highlander sales are substantially lower than the Grand Highlander, they might as well call the Grand Highlander the Highlander
I get confused by the MPG on my 2022 Corolla Hybrid also. The computer will say I have about 40 miles left to empty, but when I add gas, it put in about 9 gallons and the tank should hold about 11 gallons, and I regularly get 55 mile plus per gallon which means I should have at least another 100 miles left to empty.
I think people would be better off with a minivan at a car of this size. That being said, I hope the next gen Sienna comes soon and has a plug in hybrid version.
I’m a Toyota salesman and I just want to comment on your criticism of the 6speed in context of going through training on this powertrain… ….Toyota tested it with the 8 and 10 speed but they found there was no benefit because of how torquey it is with the e motored and the turbo. The 6 speed proved to be smoother because of less gear changes over the same distance then it was lighter and better for packaging.
It would be great if they put this infotainment and powertrain in a Sienna since the Sienna is so far ahead of this on cargo space with all seats in use.
You can set the walk away lock function on Toyotas. You just need to do it using tech stream (at the dealer), Carly, or Carista instead of through the UI menus.
Do you know if they really stopped production and the sale of this vehicle? Also what to expect for the 2025 model year? I ordered one (Platinum Hybrid Max) in Canada in June 2023 and I’m still waiting for it. Should I just wait for the 2025 model year? I just don’t see the value of getting a new car and in a couple of months , it would be “last year’s model”
@@kobbycrentsil2859Google is your best friend when it comes to fuel mileage estimates. I have a 2020 Corolla LE that I have had for 4 years now and I have never gone close to empty for my fuel and normally I fill with 1/4 tank left or just below that but my LE can go close to 437 miles in a tank
Good luck finding one to buy anywhere. It appears short on supply at the moment. So it’s a bit of a sellers market. An 8 to 10 month wait when we inquired, most people will likely shop elsewhere until supply improves. .. If you need the space.
@@MikeSchneider-wz3ol but for Toyota it’s inexcusable Other brands like ford Hyundai kia Genesis etc have had twin turbo v6 engines for a long time. Because Toyota came very late to the turbo v6 party yet they still can’t make them right. You’d think because Toyota came very late that they would get it to absolute perfection. Yet they didn’t.
They have had multiple across the line, different motors, different cars. I’m a huge Toyota lexus fan but if you research the RX, TX, GX… The Grand Highlander, Seqioa… they’ve all had different engine, airbag, transmission failures. Not sure what happened in this current gen but it’s not doing well.
A problem with Toyota that I’ve noticed when I first got one of these if gets 17 miles to the gallon but we only got 12 ? I don’t know but I know Toyota is trying to fix thus
The Subaru Outback has an 18.5 gallon gas tank and gets up to 600 miles of range with the naturally aspirated flat 4. Something is surely off with this G. Highlander.
The range on my 2023 Toyota Corolla Hybrid is the same. After fueling my estimated range is about 390 miles but comparing to my trip odometer my range is truly about 300 because I’m about near empty.
Man, I love watching all of your videos, but I can't believe you don't mention that there is currently a stop sale on these due to a safety issue (especially when pitching it as "family-friendly"). I will tell myself that this was recorded prior and the video just got out late. Toyota needs to get back to what made it the brand everyone loved, reliability and affordability. Given all of the issues with the Grand Highlander, Tacoma, and Tundras, it appears they have lost their way.
I'm still scratching my head as to why Toyota went this route with the powertrain. They chose to take the legendary 2GR out and replace it with a 2.5 4 banger turbo. Toyota could have done a 3.5 2GR with a supercharger, then mate that with an electric motor. Heck, the 3.5 V6 Toyota's in AU had a mild supercharger already. They should have built upon that. Oh wait...that would have been too reliable for Toyota...nvm.
I’m in Canada. Similar issue with the gas tank. Gas light comes on with 30km to empty and when that goes to 0km it changes to REFUEL. The car can drive another 80km with REFUEL on. Just with gas light on it can do 100km. I took my GH to Toyota and they connected the computer and it shows how much gas it had when it was empty I figured out the reserve is very conservative. Annoying but you also do not want to run out of gas with a hybrid motor. Hopefully toyota can provide an update so the light doesn’t come on too early.
@@alvinsimba734 I’m not destroying anything. I took the car to Toyota and they connected their computer to the car the vehicle had low fuel and read that the car still had 7L of fuel in it.
It's not a major recall. It's toyota being nervous because of the past issues with takata airbags. It's literally one airbag on the passenger side if you leave the window open and roll over that it "might" not deploy. I saw a new tx350 about a month ago rolled over and the curtain airbags all worked and windows were open. I have pics too

I'm still scratching my head as to why Toyota went this route with the powertrain. They chose to take the legendary 2GR out and replace it with a 2.5 4 banger turbo. Toyota could have done a 3.5 2GR with a supercharger, then mate that with an electric motor. Heck, the 3.5 V6 Toyota's in AU had a mild supercharger already. They should have built upon that. Oh wait...that would have been too reliable for Toyota...nvm.
I like your vids & I will buy this new SUV 1 day.
Does the sound system has got equalizer built in?
When can we buy this ?
I’m in Canada. Similar issue with the gas tank. Gas light comes on with 30km to empty and when that goes to 0km it changes to REFUEL. The car can drive another 80km with REFUEL on. Just with gas light on it can do 100km. I took my GH to Toyota and they connected the computer and it shows how much gas it had when it was empty I figured out the reserve is very conservative. Annoying but you also do not want to run out of gas with a hybrid motor. Hopefully toyota can provide an update so the light doesn’t come on too early.
You are destroying your fuel pump when you do that
@@alvinsimba734 I’m not destroying anything. I took the car to Toyota and they connected their computer to the car the vehicle had low fuel and read that the car still had 7L of fuel in it.
Better than Mazda cx90??
The Mazda is better
@@MrBroadcast45way better
Hell no. Cx90nkills this cheap looking thing
Would like to know the MPG, I suspect it's not great.
These new dynamic force engines are pretty much ticking time bombs...
Redesigning the Ford logo would be like redesigning the American Flag.
Regular hybrid is the best one to buy
Best in class 😍
Safety recalls! Go and check it out
Still cannot buy it because of stop sale due to quality problems.
@@normt430 it’s really bad when people have bought this paying huge markups but at the risk of fatal injuries
I would love to buy this if they come out with a FULL ELECTRIC version!
I wish the top trip had bench seats for 8 passengers
It would be great if you could buy one but you can't. There's been a stop sale since June due during the airbag issue.
Safety recall issues!
5 seats avaiable?
They still making this. 😮
How’s the AC in these cars? I live in a Phoenix Arizona and it’s very hot!
I live in Puerto Rico and I have the Hybrid Max Limited, Air Conditioner works like a Charm!
Great car 👍
The normal Hybrid Grand highlander gives 38 MPG if you are driving like a normal person, so max is abysmal in comparison
that is the best car
Hi Sufyan, would you chose this or Mazda CX 90
I have. Way better vehicle than this
@@mbenton6why did you choose the cx90?
Not for sale with major recall!
It's not a major recall. It's toyota being nervous because of the past issues with takata airbags. It's literally one airbag on the passenger side if you leave the window open and roll over that it "might" not deploy. I saw a new tx350 about a month ago rolled over and the curtain airbags all worked and windows were open. I have pics too
@@patrickrk44 Toyota shut down the factory right in the middle of a brand new product launch. This and other problems are major NHTSA violations and need correcting before being sold.

Those that are panicking, are the newest investors, People that have been in the space for 5 or more years know that sideways as well a 15% or 20% drop is the characteristic of Bitcoin. investing in Bitcoin or any crypto is not a get-rich-quick scheme. investment means progression ROl, it is not getting rich overnight. You relax and let Bitcoin do what it does best. It will get there. For example, Bitcoin oscillated between resistance and support for almost 6 months at the $20k plus level in 2023 before breaking out. Range-bound is common, no need to panic.
Hello how do you make such monthly ?? I'm a born Christian, and sometimes I feel so down of myself because of low finance but I still believe in God.
Thanks to Mrs Anastacia Snelleksz
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Anastacia Snelleksz) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺
I'm surprised that this name is being mentioned here, I stumbled upon one of her clients testimony on CNBC news last week.
Wow the interior is similar to the tx in a lot ways
Actually you can color match the car color in 360° camera view in the settings which I did have Ruby Flare color.
A shame they don't let you get a three place second row with the Hybrid Max (especially with a removable middle seat). A two seat second row just doesn't work for our family.
This car looks better than the TX, what is the point of the TX other than the Lexus badge?
Adaptive suspension, better sound deadening, better sound system, that's about it.
6” bigger?
Isn’t it in the safety recall?
My grand Highlander is beautiful
Getting big Subaru vibes from those tail lights
Toyota recall airbag not deployed while window down... Grand Highlander's included!
TOYOTA NEEDS TO OFFER BENCH SEAT ALSO IN HYBRID MAX PLATINUM... SOME LARGE FAMILY WANTS 8 SEAT CONFIGURATION ALSO WITH ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLE..
They stopped production of this and the TX due to the curtain airbags.
TO me the outside looks better than the Lexus version. TO me Lexus did not even try to make it look non-toyota like
I liked your review -- very explanatory. However, it looks terribly simple! A grand simple car with a very high price tag. Thanks
I wish the current RX350h had close to this power. I feel like it's underpowered, especially if you try to spec it out fully.
RX500H F-Sport Performance has the same engine
This is as fast as a Camry V6 (without break torquing).
I have the Grand Highlander Platinum since Aug. 2023. Driving in Eco mode I have averaged 22.5 mpg the entire time. Drove a 2000 mile trip, still got 22.5 mpg. Infotainment issues. I'm disappointed in the vehicle.
I’d dump it if I were you
EVERY Toyota I've owned, empty/0mi range has been with about 5 gallons of fuel left in the tank.
It's Faster Than a Nissan Pathfinder
The performance of that GH is identical to an MDX type S.
@@naveenthemachineAcura, Mazda, Hyundai. Garbage 🗑️

@@duder0597 Yes 😊
Too bad you can't get one from the dealership because of an active airbag recall
Love to buy me a Lexus or Toyota but their grill designs are so ugly that I cannot do it. They need to fired their designers.
They're in competition with BMW for ugliest grills. Beaver tooth BMW wins in my book.
JBL speakers sucks big time. Bose would have been nice for this price tag.
Bose is overrated junk. They are marketed really well, but are really cheap materials.
