The Toyota Highlander is a mid-size, three-row crossover SUV aimed at families who need a balance of passenger space, everyday utility and fuel-efficiency options. For 2026 Toyota continues to offer both a turbocharged gasoline powertrain and gas‑electric hybrid variants: Toyota's site lists a 2.4‑liter turbocharged four‑cylinder rated at 265 hp and 310 lb‑ft for the gasoline models, and advertises hybrid variants with EPA estimates up to 35 mpg combined. The 2026 Highlander emphasizes practical features (up to eight seats, available SofTex-trimmed seating, available panoramic moonroof), modern connectivity and Toyota Safety Sense driver aids.
Trim choices for 2026 include XLE, XSE, Limited and Platinum with hybrid versions of several grades; Toyota’s online spec summary shows a base MSRP on file and highlights features such as Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and a towing capacity up to 5,000 lb when properly equipped. This model year continues Highlander’s family-oriented package with an emphasis on hybrid efficiency for buyers prioritizing fuel economy and a turbo gas option for higher towing or outright power.
