Kirk, We would welcome a LE test drive and this is certainly grand news for fans of plus-sized Highlanders.🥳🥳 I wonder if Toyota Canada is about to poke us in the eye by denying us the new Grand Highlander LE. 🤔
With the GH’s base price being 40860 and HL’s base price being 39520 before destination fees, I just don’t see people buying the Highlander unless people have smaller garages so I just don’t see how the ICE Highlander survives and it’s monthly sales have reached 5k a month so an EV Highlander seems to be real now
Toyota's Achilles heel is its inventory. These new announcements are cool, but if I have to wait six months and/or pay a dealer markup there is no point.
@@magnoliap5824toyota is making / selling the most cars they’ve ever been made / sold; it’s simply they can’t supply enough to meet demands. Toyota has the lowest days on the dealership lots for a reason Should be better when the new plant is online
Paid $21k for me 1996 Camry LE. That's $42k inflation adjusted, same price as a Grand Highlander Hybrid! Camry LE wagon was over $23k back then, or $50k inflation adjusted!!
We like our 23 Highlander XSE blacked out with red interior. Hard to find one. So far good but we were paying $600 a month and 1k of insurance in Az for 6 months.
We have the XLE that seats 8.... turbo. 70000 km in 13 months... still waiting for the recall fix... the notice said to not drive with the front windows down and you are fine.
41k GH seems like a great option but will they produce enough or will I be on a 1+ year waiting list for an allocation? Only to have to cancel it once the local dealer decides to put mandatory add ons I didn't ask for.
If the hybrid nightshade edition comes with an 8 seater, I'm getting it for sure. I love Toyota's nightshade option on their models. It just blacks out all of the ugly chrome and makes the car look so much better.
The LE hybrid all-wheel drive is going to be perfect for areas that have snow, so it's not the worst decision there's some people that are not going to waste money just buying a front-wheel drive SUV in certain areas
Great video but your calculation of range for hybrid GH is misleading and didn’t consider the dreaded GAS TANK ISSUE of Toyotas. These GH hybrids can not take more than 11 to 13 gallons on an empty tank and supposedly have a large 5 gallon reserve. Because of this, the true range on a hybrid is around 400-450 miles which is much less than the theoretical range of 585 miles (17.2 *34 MPG).
The A pillar crumples like a cream puff in a front offset crash, is that what was fixed with the recall? With regards to the new LE, American consumers are saying these days they want a basic but more affordable car and now we will get a chance to see [via the metric of sales figures ] if people will put their money where their mouth is and are willing to have something more basic for a lower price.
Grand highlander will not kill the highlander whatsoever. Instead they will reposition the normal highlander as more smaller and cheaper choice. Just like how kia/Hyundai does With the Sorento and Santa Fe
The thing about my new Tesla model Y is it comes fully equipped, so no need for a grand version. The power adjustable steering wheel is a hoot. Took me two weeks to find that because the features of this car are too plentiful to learn immediately.
Offering the LE is a plus as these things have gotten way too expensive. Seeing lots of Grand Highlanders in our community, but I don't see us moving away from our 21 Highlander Limited. The V6 is just too good
Toyota needs to get back to basics and lower the prices for most of their models. The current TSBs, recalls, and stop sales are hurting thier reputation for reliability and value.
Pricing from Toyota is more than fine and doesn't need decreasing. Recalls and issues can happen. Vehicles like the Tacoma tundra and so on are all selling very well.

Please sell with a V6. Toyota's best motor.
It's gone. Never coming back
@@austinc5103 😡
V6 still available in Lexus lineup and some Toyota models.
Lexus TX has the v6.
Democrat politicians put strict regulations on vehicle makers. Blame their voters.
Not happening and there’s no Toyota with a NA v6 now.

Dealership will markup
Any chance for a Lexus TX350h?

This 2024 bud. Get with the program
Do you we any better ride comfort in AWD ?

What model year do we expect to see Arene in the Highlander?

Wow! That's the only way to drive a car when its nice outside.
Thanks guys. I guess next year, I'll start looking at a Lexus.
That’s color look so sick

only 7 seats
Needs phev option with rear bias to fix understeer
get the tx550h
Yes, please test the LE..

They probably will update the lexus t x too
What happened to all the old stock now 2025 coming out?
Has to get fixed first then sold.
they are selling 2024 now, last month 660 of them sold. 2025 is not available now.
Please, TEST the LE with hybrid (2.5) and MPG also 🙏👍
lower cost for the vehicle itself or lower cost with the dealer mark up?
Both. Cars are not selling too well.
Lower MSRP, manufacturers have very little control over what dealerships do

Cost difference between Grand Highlander hybrid LE/XLE is shocking ngl, would’ve expected LE to be priced lower
u said it was an 8 seater i forgot
Is this another step Toyota is taking to prepare for the discontinuation of the regular Highlander?
They will keep that as a hybrid only IMO
@@magnoliap5824 EV only Autonews confirmed this

Soo these are 2024 grand highlander being sold as 2025?!?!?
new LE trim spells trouble for the regular HL, although a base HL is still $5k less

No it’s like a $1340 difference in the LE gas trims
@ thats what it is right now - smaller/cheaper
@@chezzyperson3339 wow i didnt know it starts at $39k now 😮 i remembered it was just in the mid $30k’s 🤣
Kirk, Grand Highlander XLE Hybrid FWD, whenever possible 😊🇺🇸🇨🇦.
these prices will need to be adjusted with greedy dealers adding markups and packages
Thry need to make phev grand highlander
Aaaand I’m putting my name on a 2025 GH Nightshade in cement.

Grand highlander the class leader is back (👑🤴)and can't wait until the haters Start trash talking. Like always. Then its not surprising.
Let em’ hate, cuz we know who is better
@RSROD30 agree
There's a price difference to make up for all them recalls!
5:00 PLEASE DO
It will come with a grand markup 😅
Dear Lord!! To many powertrain options, damn confusing
How many Grand Highlander stop sale orders will continue into 2025?
after 3 toyota , I got kia telluride, toyota needs go out of business how they respect costumers in last 3 years in quality and price .
Happy election day🎉🎉🎉
Aren’t these still on a stop sell due to A-Pillar air bag issues?
Until the dealer fixes the recalled airbag, it can't be sold. However the fix is available and rolling out to existing models
They started selling it after fixing it, look at Toyota sales report in Oct. Around 660 sold
3 kids and all that junk u gotta bring with you 😅I’m getting Suburban but super bargains on Wagoneer 24 models $25 k off
Only if it comes with the fifth-generation hybrid system. Otherwise fughetaboutit.
The Fourth gen is solid and reliable.
@@KirkKreifels Agree, since I have the 2023 Lexus ES300h.

NIO will win the game 😂
Toyota Center kept the tried-and-true V6 in the Highlander
Cool

Looks exactly the same as a RAV4. Very boring.
Still mostly boring colors. Ugh.
i want basic with under $32K price tag .
It’s more like a big RAV4.
@pixelhoncho1583 oh yeah it's more like a grand corolla cross dude yeah
