The Toyota Grand Highlander is a mid-size crossover SUV[3] with three-row seating produced by Toyota since 2023. The Grand Highlander was introduced for the North American market on 8 February 2023. While sharing the nameplate and the GA-K platform with the regular Highlander, the model features entirely different exterior and interior styling.[6]

In the North American market, the Grand Highlander is positioned between the smaller Highlander and the larger Tundra-based Sequoia.[7]

In the U.S., the Grand Highlander is available in three grade levels: XLE, Limited, and Platinum.[8]
