- Toyota makes some darn fuel efficient vehicles, and the fact you can get this 7 passenger Grand Highlander crossover that makes 360 horsepower and still gets 26 mpg on the highway is pretty great.

We bought a GH Platinum Hybrid Max in Sepember of 2023. It now has 7650 miles on it. Over the weekend I drove from South Lake Tahoe, CA to Albany, Oregon and back for a total 1135 miles - I set the odometer at 0 at the start of the trip and didnt clear the mpg between refueling. That trip went over several mountain passes, through rain and sleet, driving around town a bit. My speed was set at 67 miles an hour on the freeway.
When I arrived back in SLT the mpg showed an overall average of 27.6 mpg. OUTSTANDING !
Full-time AWD, 400lb of torque...oh what fun it is !!!!!! And...everyone stop worrying about that one cannot put more than 13-14 gallons when empty in the tank. Toyota purposefully left a greater margin of fuel in the tank so not to damage the Turbo.
Really impressed by this Toyota Grand Highlander 👌
Charlie, Slow and steady wins the race, 🐢All that Hybrid Max power must be nice but I will take the 35 mpg Hybrid. 🤩
I wish they made the platinum in 35 mpg for the grand highlander
I won’t, it’s underpowered. Rather have the max.
Wow 26mpg is amazing!!!
i have a gv80 and went from nj to florida and back 2000 miles 2 people and luggage between 75 to 80 mph and got 28.2 mpg. thats crazy. Plus it has a 21.1 gas tank. Plus pay around 60 grand and get a great warranty. My lease is up soon cant find anything even close....prob have to wait for the updated 25 model.
Thats pretty darn good for a 36Xhp and 400tq 5,000lbs vehicle!! I used to have a MDX Type S and mpg was HORRIBLE on that thing...like 16-18mpg.......couldn't even get 300 miles out of a tank would be filling up like 240-260 miles and PREMIUM too!! So if you want that extra power this is the way to go! I want something that will be a little fun, not a grandma mobile but can still haul the family and get decent mpg!
I definitely am feeling a little fomo from not getting the mpg of the regular hybrid. But the hybrid max is so much fun. Its so fast some reviewers were saying they were getting 0-60 in 5.6s vs the stated 6.3. I havent dragged it yet but it definitely kicks you back in sport mode.
Yeah the HybridMAX is seriously quick.
Wish it was 2.5L Hybrid powertrain for this test instead.
I rented a 2023 regular Highlander Hybrid FWD with the 2.5L base hybrid powertrain in June in Alabama and averaged 39.4 mpg over 5 days of driving. I don’t exactly know what the highway mpg was specifically but my guess would be 35. Hope this helps.
Yeah, we hope to get one of those in soon.
Can’t wait for the pilot hybrid.
There are people on RUclips claiming they got 28 on the highway in a Kia Telluride. Now that's a front wheel drive Telluride and much lower horse power but still why spend a lot more for much more complex vehicle and less warranty
Have you done an around town gas mileage test ?
Why are the headlights so yellow on your camera? Theyre brand new bright white LEDs…
Good test though. Results meet my expectations unlike the Sequoia hybrid for example.
Have you done a JBL sound system review for this car?
Yup! ruclips.net/video/7dkNn9MTKJg/видео.htmlsi=yaE5uMR-eeMW2-y4
I was considering Hybrid max powertrain but now I am going for regular hybrid. Although MAX power is great, mpg is very poor (better than competition for sure)
26 mpg is impressive for a vehicle this big, heavy, and powerful. If you want a fast 3 row crossover that still delivers 25+ mpg, this is the only option.
@@jakes5530 CX-90 Turbo S gets 28mpg on the highway, and I think real world numbers have been 29/30, but yeah that will be slightly worse in the city. And way less room in the 3rd row.
@@kaesol combined and highway mpg numbers are totally different. Most non-hybrid 3 row crossovers get 16-18 mpg around town, there’s just no way around it. That typically drops the avg mpg drastically especially if you dont have a long highway commute.
But, being able to have the power of the GH Hybrid Max as well as seeing your avg fuel economy be 25+ mpg all day every day would be a incredible.
I will say that the CX90 PHEV is a tempting option, just about as quick as this, but smaller, and the tech, while updated, is still not as good as the competition. Also dealing with a plug-in vehicle would be kind of annoying if you dont have an attached garage with a 240v outlet.
@@jakes5530 To clarify, I'm talking about the 340hp inline 6 version of the CX-90, not the PHEV. It gets 25mpg with only a mild hybrid system. I think this might be more impressive engineering than the Grand Highlander considering it actually gets its estimated fuel economy, whereas the GH is getting lower. Car and Driver observed 23mpg overall in both the GH and CX-90, and it looks like Charlie got 21.2 in the GH, as shown at 7:58. But both vehicles are definitely impressive! And then there's the X7 m40i which probably beats both in terms of the power to efficiency ratio.
@@kaesol gotcha. Yeah I’m a big bmw guy too, but totally different price range. My parents actually both have Bimmers with that 3.0 i6 (540i and X5 40i) and both routinely get 32 mpg on the freeway... premium fuel though… guess it’s a trade off. Very fun cars to drive nonetheless.
I’d buy this if I could afford it, I’m still a Honda boy though.
Thanks for your video. We have a 2020 Highlander Hybrid model LE AWD. We have been averaging about 38 MPG in summer and at moderate speeds (25-55 MPH) over 40 MPG. Gas here in N/W Oregon is approaching $5 a gallon and I would not trade our hybrid for the other hybrid that gets 10 or more MPG less. I would have been more pleased if Toyota had released a 2023 Highlander Prime plug in hybrid which would be a bigger brother next to the RAV 4 Prime. That would have been a smart move for Toyota as we also have a 2022 RAV 4 Prime SE which is a fabulous SUV with over 45 MPG on gas with a depleted battery in pure hybrid mode and 40-50 miles of pure electric range.
I expect the regular Hybrid to be far more popular than the Max.
Nice review. I do around 90% city driving...any guess on that real world MPG?
Probably right around 26
Toyota Hybrids are more efficient on city driving because they can use the regenerative braking system.
90% city, then I would advise not the GH Max but the regular Hybrid with up to 36 mpg
I set up a similar test as this in my new 23 Honda Pilot and averaged 24 mpg. EPA numbers are 19 city/25 highway/21 combined. I’ll take the naturally aspirated V6 over a hybrid andor turbo 4 any day! The simpler the better!
but is your pilot have 362 horsepower with 400 torque spec? If you want simple, get 1980 Toyota Wrangler, that is very simple! For relatively the same price as Pilot, I'd take my chance with Toyoda HG max!
Seems pretty low compared to the V6, it does have greater output, but i'm thinking V6+hybrid would've even been better and averaged over 30. i never got hardly below 27 even at 90mph, at low 70s the V6 2022 limited got 29+ with mixed mountain highways and flat highway over several hundred miles.
Still waiting on the prius awd or fwd non prime test. Not prime cause 90% of us wont get an allocation
Modern Toyotas have a 4-5 gallon “reserve” and auto shut off if you go too far past the “Distance To Empty”. You will never get the “17 gallons” of usable capacity in the G-Highlander.
Toyota should be class-actioned for this.
this is a feature on purpose to not expose the Turbo to possible sediments by sucking every drop from the tank. Toyota explained that. I still get 375 miles on one tank (13-14 gallons) = 27.5 mpg
You can only drive the Grand Highlander Max about 300 miles before the fuel light comes on. Then it will only take 10-11 ish gallons of gas. Seems to be a common issue with this type of fuel tank.
I just bought one a few days ago and I can confirm this is true. Other than that, I absolutely love the vehicle. They do need to recall this and fix this ASAP! I'm going to be posting this everywhere until Toyota makes it right, because I wish I would have known before buying it!
Fuel light can come on but what about the gauge? Is it showing almost empty?
I'm literally driving it now on empty about 11 miles in. I plan on going another 75 miles - i made a video on this and osme other stuff about it ruclips.net/video/fzQxMMHZ6wY/видео.htmlsi=4lCU6DvrVeTxkZpy @@al151
Wait for the turbo engine to start shaking as if it doesn’t have enough power because of cheap gas quality. Premium should be required.
it wish it had a bench seat option
It does!! After picking trim level there and option to add a bench seat
@@parkergray5346 Not on HybridMax
Any ambient lighting????
I was wondering the same..
I don't believe so. Just some white lights to help see around the cabin.
There's some ambient lighting like where your feet are in the driver and passenger and the spaces in the dash and such, but you can't configure it, its just white, and its pretty dim. I wish they would have had some ambient lighting options!
Kinda disappointing. BMW X5 with the B58 gets over 30 mpg and is more powerful. Toyota should’ve made a phone call to BMW to use their engine in another Toyota model.
The X5 with the 3L is rated at 23 MPG average with premium fuel, and has much less hp/tq? Maybe you're talking about the plug-in hybrid, which is quite a bit more expensive than the GH.
@@APIOQM ignore what it’s rated for. Go see actual mpg results. It’s 30+ on the hwy with the 3.0L. The engine hp/tq are also underrated, the 0-60 times prove that.
@@APIOQMb58 is a gem , 30-35mpg on the highway regardless of where it sits x3 x5 m340i
you sure you wanna deal with BMW's fragile engines?
@@waltereichnerlynch2574 Toyota literally used the same engine in their Supra. I highly doubt Toyota would reach out to BMW for an unreliable engine.
Regular hybrid is great mpg but wait until you drive the car full of people and some stuff, you will feel it very underpowered. It was not for me. The sienna sucked I got an Odyssey because of that. Hybrid max still has great gas mileage with great power. You can’t expect a huge vehicle to perform and have mpg without sacrifices.
Osom
Im getting 18 in the city with my 4 Turbo model...On Highway I heard they fall evn dam near. With the extra cost ($6000 just for the engine and digital mirror) Extra weight (700 lbs) not worth it, I would get the Lexus. The 4 turbo is great, I drive in ECO mode...plenty of power, WAY MORE THAN my 2014 Honda Pilot. All the reviewers are like I would get the MAX...no you wouldnt you would get the new Lexus for the same price
same price as lexus... SIR the LEXUS TX starts at 55k......... BASE! lol so no you can't get the same power train on the TX500h... fully loaded its 72-74k.... MSRP!
The max gets about 25mpg tested over 6000 miles of highway driving.
@@KuyaArbee My neighbor just ordered one and took delivery $68k for a MAX with like I said the Lexus is a MUCH BETTER option. I have one, this is NOT a Lexus....not even close. Mine was 63k with freebees Roof rack, off road matts, Bling lighting, sunroof, etc my car has everything but his engine and the digital mirror. Agin to close to a Lexus as I see
@@dennismcdonnell4613 The MAX is another 5-7k I paid CASH, most will finance at 9% APR I did the Math it would take 14 years to realize the cost saving of the hybrid MAX. It also weighs 600-900 pound more than the 4 turbo, not saying its a bad car....just reasons I choose the 4 cly Turbo. The all GAS options is also light years faster , more powerful than my old 2014 Honda Pilot. I have a sports car already, this is not a car to be driven sport like...at all
@@BaaSicStuff I have a rx500h f sport level 3 I know what Lexus is about… but imo the grand Highlander is still the better option as you can sit 3 kids in the back seat
Toyota website unfortunately indicates stop-and-go only works on major roads like highways. Can you confirm? It's bad enough they make you buy the Max to get that.😢
Owning hybrid max for 2 weeks now. Stop and go works everywhere
@@vishnuprakash2178 so city streets going only 30mph?
Yes. It will enable stop and go even in city traffics like 30, 20 etc
@@vishnuprakash2178 I wonder why their traffic jam assist video says otherwise then. Is stop and go different than their traffic jam assist?
Can you share the link of traffic jam assist?
This GH or Kia Telluride?
I would go with GH over Telluride because the Telluride has a GDI engine for starters.
Telluride looks better inside and out, in my opinion, and feels nicer. But if I were spending my own money for a trouble-free family hauler to own for many years, I'd get a base hybrid Grand Highlander.
@@DailyMotor thank you
50th!
