The Toyota Grand Highlander has been a huge success for the Japanese marque, almost rendering the Highlander irrelevant. The Grand Highlander has more space than its older three-row crossover sibling, and it’s now even cheaper. That’s reflected in the sales figures this year, with the Grand Highlander (99,833 units) selling more than double the number of units as the Highlander (42,677) across the first three quarters of 2025.
If you want a new Grand Highlander, Toyota is offering some compelling lease deals right now, so let’s take a look at the numbers, bearing in mind that we’re focusing on non-hybrid models exclusively.

Powertrain and Features
2026 Toyota Grand Highlander
All non-hybrid Grand Highlanders have a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 265 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque—and none of Toyota’s V6 reliability troubles. Lower trims have standard front-wheel drive with all-wheel drive as an option, while upper trims have standard AWD. All models have an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The base LE, which is the cheapest model to lease, comes with LED headlights/taillights, 18-inch alloy wheels, and a power-operated liftgate. Inside, this trim misses out on the 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, wireless phone charging, heated front seats, and nicer upholstery of most other trims. However, it still has three-zone climate control, 13 cup and bottle holders, an eight-way power driver’s seat, seating for eight occupants, and a 12.3-inch touchscreen.
On top trims, the Grand Highlander much more effectively lives up to the ‘Grand’ part of its name. It can be had with leather-trimmed seats, heated/ventilated first-/second-row seats, an 11-speaker JBL sound system, a heated steering wheel, and a digital rearview mirror.

Final Thoughts
The Grand Highlander is the crossover the Highlander always should’ve been. It actually has third-row seating that adults won’t find intolerable, and the turbo-four provides decent performance and economy.
The Toyota Grand Highlander leasing costs this month start at roughly the same price point as the Mazda CX-90, although we’d have to side with the Mazda in this case. It has a classier interior and a more powerful six-cylinder engine. For many, though, Toyota’s unbeatable reputation for dependability will be enough to swing things in the Grand Highlander’s favor.
