The 2025 Toyota Highlander and Grand Highlander both offer impressive performance for Cumming drivers. Their 2.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine delivers 265 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque. Both models also come equipped with available All-Wheel Drive and a maximum towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds on their base trims, making either one a reliable partner for towing a trailer or hauling weekend gear.
Drive Mode Select with Sport, Eco, Normal, and Snow modes gives both vehicles flexibility to adapt to changing road conditions. The Highlander features power-assisted ventilated disc brakes, while the Grand Highlander includes electronically controlled braking as part of its braking system—a detail that may appeal to those who want added control in more dynamic driving scenarios.
Fuel economy is nearly identical at 22 city/29 highway MPG in the Highlander versus 21 city/28 highway MPG in the Grand Highlander. Your choice may come down to what kind of driving experience you're after. The Highlander’s slightly smaller footprint may appeal to those who prioritize agility in urban settings, while the Grand Highlander gives you more physical presence and interior volume.
Technology is a strong point for both Toyota SUVs, but they take slightly different approaches. The Highlander features an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. At the same time, the Grand Highlander upgrades that to a 12.3-inch display—ideal for drivers who prefer a larger interface for navigation and media.
Safety-wise, both Toyota SUVs offer a full suite of advanced safety features, with the Highlander running Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5+ and the Grand Highlander stepping up to Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0. Both systems include essentials like a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Full-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, and Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist. However, the Grand Highlander adds Proactive Driving Assist, a newer feature designed to gently support the driver in certain situations like curves or slowing traffic.
Inside, the Toyota Highlander and Grand Highlander are designed with comfort and versatility. Each can seat up to eight passengers and includes fabric-trimmed seats, three-zone climate control with rear vents, and multiple seating configurations to support everything from family road trips to quick grocery runs.
The Highlander keeps things simple with solid third-row seating and an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat. The Grand Highlander expands on this with more second- and third-row adjustability, including sliding and reclining capabilities and additional headrest features—useful for families with older kids or frequent passengers.
The 2025 Toyota Highlander and Grand Highlander bring real value to the table. It’s all about what suits your daily needs and driving style. Whether you prefer the Highlander’s well-rounded efficiency or the Grand Highlander’s extra room and upgraded tech, our team at Beaver Toyota of Cumming is here to help you find your perfect fit.
