Hi Alex! This is one of the best and most thorough reviews of the Grand Highlander, especially the 3rd row. I’ll never sit back there but I always care about my family’s and passenger comfort. I can’t wait to see this in person and looking forward to your May 30th review. This is definitely on my future purchase list from everything I’ve seen so far. Thank you!
If only Toyota did something about dealers putting ridiculous markups on the Highlanders, Grand Highlanders, and Siennas. Sure the hybrid fuel mileage is great, but it would take a lot of driving to break even on the $4-8k markups 🥴
Alex mentions the Pilot quite a bit. That diminishes the regular HIghlander’s space in the segment, doesn’t it? If the midsized segment is growing in size, this may end up being the regular Highlander one day.
I think they’ll be sold side by side for a long while. You have to remember while the regular highlander has one of the smallest interiors in the segment, it continues to be #1 or #2 in terms of sales. I think the grand highlander will start in the 50’s and max out in the 60’s and not many people can afford that.
The price is only a few thousand dollars over the standard Highlander. I look for Toyota to eventually make the standard Highlander a 2 row SUV. This Grand Highlander could replace the Sienna minivan one day.
@@volvoxc9086 I’m just pointing out the facts Besides the GH has better tech than the tx especially the instrument cluster. The tx will likely have a 7in mid but a grand highlander has a 12.3in full lcd cluster. And the GH with the heads up display doesn’t have the touchpad steering wheel the tx will have. Even the door handles on the Toyota are a lot more normal than the tx electric door handles
A lot of the third row crossovers are workable, if one can strategically place all three rows accordingly. I have a new GLB, and it’s greatest party trick is that third row, it is quite usable despite the CSUVs small size. No one believes it, before I show them the interior 😂
The GLB has its advantages for a compact SUV. But does absolutely not compete with the Grand Highlander in terms of space and purpose of the 3rd row AND the cargo space behing the 3rd row.
@@dcrespol For it’s size, the GLB has a very workable one, especially on the luxury segment. The GLBs second row actually has more leg room and head room than the RDXs even though the Acura was slightly longer and wider.
I'm worried this thing may not fit in my garage, width-wise. our garage door openings are quite narrow, and our 2011 Ford Flex only has a few inches to spare with the mirrors extended! Thanks for posting this Alex. This seems like the best replacement for our Flex from a 3rd row legroom standpoint. We're just not sold on the Korean twins quite yet.
If you have a home built in the last 25 years you probably right. Little cracker box homes with Honda civic size garages on 3500 sq foot lots. Garages need to be larger on new homes.
@@vuthsuon209 Yes. The delays are completely manufactured to increase profits. Toyota is woefully behind on electric cars, and they have to have money to fund them. $100k Sequoias will help them with that goal!
I feel like if you’re a big family looking for a vehicle you’d be much happier with the Sienna, much more room for people and cargo plus sliding doors so you don’t have to worry about the kids hitting the car parked beside you!
These things are going to sell like loaves of bread. Toyota is learning how to package vehicles like cross-country rival Honda does. It may end up being the best 3row VALUE in the class(not the best overall tho)...

I feel like you aren’t dropping videos or RUclips algo have dropped you off my list. I haven’t seen your video in a long time. I’ve been waiting for your Honda Pilot review.
I don't see a need for the Highlander to revert to a two-row vehicle. After all, the current format has worked well and made it America's best selling midsize crossover
I could get behind a medium or big crossover, if they didn't insist on taking a perfectly good cargo area and jamming a 3rd row of seats in there. Genuinely unimpressed by the amount of room in a regular highlander with the third row stowed.
If I’m not mistaken, the Korean twins are the roomiest in this segment so I’m not sure why the sole competitive focus was the Pilot. I know it’s just a quick first impression look but if you’re going to be singling out the best current option to compare legroom with I’d suggest it’s not the Pilot.
This is the reason I get frustrated at Honda, for so long Hondas pilot was the nicer sportier and decently fuel efficient competitor to the highlander with the V6 Well why Honda has essentially kept the same V6 for the past 2 decades Toyota is hybridizing the line up giving people both performance and practicality. Meanwhile Honda is playing with old tech and "direct motor drive" hybrid system
So it's probably safe to safe the Toyota Grand Highlander beats the popular Kia Telluride and Hyundai Palisade in their own midsize suv class. It's definitely a best in class as far as cargo space, leg and head room for 2nd and 3rd row passengers is concerned. The question is, what's the starting price going to be? I can't imagine it srarting at anything less than $50k for the base trim. A top trim, fully loaded Grand Highlander is probably going to be in the $65k to $68k range. And that's BEFORE stealership markups. And how long is it going to be before they're widely available? I'm guessing 2nd quarter of 2024.

@@nickgee7291 this is Toyota’s new strategy, limit supply, build more expensive trim equal more profit per vehicle. Recently Toyota said they are aiming at $50K average price per Toyota in the future.
I doubt it. The highlander has its place in Toyotas lineup. For people who don’t want the length or 3rd row room of the GH. They may just need the standard Highlander’s 3rd row for occasional use.
@George Snyder markups maybe not sure the official pricing hasn't been released yet cause there's no way a family Crossover SUV such as the grand highlander especially will be 50K at all it would be 55K or 60K at best the starting price probably but we don't know the offical pricing for it yet though...
This looks ok if you can afford and get one. I’ve gone another way. ‘23 Chevy Traverse RS. Biggest mid sized SUV that rivals full sized. Easy in/out, lots of leg and head room. Lots of cargo space and tons of storage. Good power, Good ride. I spent 3 months shopping and test driving all offerings. Had my Traverse RS for 4 months. No complaints at all so far.

How many loans do I need to pull out on my house to afford a new car these days😂😂😂
😂
Or how much "dealer market (boat payment) adjustments" will be.
the number will be very High
And also 60K for the base model, a dealer in TX is asking 95K for Sequoia
I was skeptical from other videos I’ve seen about the Grand Highlander, but this video shows it really is an improvement over a standard Highlander
It’s probably due to the fact basically all other videos had interiors where it was hard to tell what was what.
Sitting in a current regular highlander then a pilot will give you a good idea of size
Time for Toyota to step up and start increasing production in North America. These will sell!
Thanks Alex! Very excited for this model as it offers plenty of space and amenities without reaching the $80K pricing of the Sequoia.

As @@naveenthemachine said demand, there's a Venza prime has been for over a year but Toyota wont even sell them in America because of production issues.
what time on may 30?
Unless youre towing over 5k lbs, or off-roading regularly, idk why anyone would buy the Sequoia over this.
IMO the Sequoia Capstone or TRD Pro are in a difference class than this GH. But also at different price point and target buyers.
Needs an xse or trd trim 🔥
How do cars get to Hawaii?
When are you doing the full review on the CX90? Thanks and keep up the good work!
The fact they have yet to reveal pricing tells me it'll be not great. I like this and like the way it looks, but I wouldn't pay appreciably more for it than a Palisade similarly equipped.
I think you should just get the palisade. It’s the easy pick. Don’t bother waiting for the GH pricing. We all know that it will be overpriced while being lower quality than the Hyundai
@@naveenthemachine naveenthemachine upcoming grand highlander is class leading space more luxurious more comfortable excellent technology more powerfull faster better quality and more .so naveenthemachine dont post nonsense 😂😂😂
@bfish9700. The reason toyota wont talk about price because they are going to do that soon .2. Grand highlander is the class leader in space comfort luxury and more so i recommend dont post crazy comments like naveenthemachine
@@volvoxc9086Naveen is a certified anti- toyota/lexus troll. Dude’s mission in life is to criticise the brand at every opportunity he gets. He’s not a potential customer. Just a fanboy with an agenda against a particular brand.
@@DarthNero agreed . He is also a diva outside the comment section as well
Yooo show me that hybrid
Great entry into the segment...but I'd still get the new Mazda.
Alex you look good, man. Have you lost some weight?
I’ve been waiting since 2022 for this year!
Very long wait😆😆
And you gonna wait a long longer for the hybrid models unless you are willing to pay $5K markup.
Baby got Back
Is this an 84 month payment plan to afford it?
This is how the new highlander should’ve been.
They shoulda given it a new name rather than just adding grand to it
How did he get one out in the wild. Especially in Hawaii?
It's called a press event and they invite automotive journalists to preview new models 🙄
The most average Car of America for 20+ years
Get CX 90 instead
This either going to kill or get killed by the regular highlander.
They will sell both.
