2025 Toyota Grand Highlander Named Top Rated SUV By Edmunds.com

The 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander is the family vehicle you always wanted—a combination of comfort and space, along with a nimble size, available hybrid performance, and efficiency. For these reasons, Edmunds.com named the Grand Highlander its top-rated SUV for 2025. They went on to say that “it’s in a class of one.”

Their Senior Review Editor also went on to say that the Grand Highlander offers “great efficiency and a cabin full of family-friendly features might not seem exciting, but mention them to any parent, and it’ll get their attention.”

The primary reason for the 2025 Grand Highlander’s selection is right inside. Both passenger and cargo space has been maximized in a vehicle that is much more maneuverable to drive. There is real room for up to seven passengers across all three rows. Accessibility into the third row is made easier with simple access from the second row of seats. The third row is not just for children anymore.

When you fold down all three rows of seats, you will enjoy around 98 cubic feet of cargo space. Imagine what you can take home inside. If all seats are filled, you can easily load seven carry-on suitcases behind the third row. It is built for those looking for a weekend getaway up to Las Vegas or down to San Diego for the weekend.

The 2025 Grand Highlander is also made for passenger convenience. Across all three rows, it is equipped with 13 cup holders big enough to hold large water bottles and seven USB-C charge ports to keep devices charged and ready to use.

Cabin comfort and convenience are enhanced with an air conditioning control located in front of the second row of seats. Passengers can select their own climate when seated on long road trips.

Drivers of the 2025 Grand Highlander are also treated to a space where they command the road. A 12.3-inch driver information screen provides you with all the information you need on the road. The equally large 12.3-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia system is an excellent hub for your connected devices, key information, and a set of cameras to ensure you can see behind and around you. You also have a host of controls that are easy to use and feel pleasing to the touch.

While some vehicles in its class make do with enough power to bring everyone along, the 2025 Grand Highlander offers three choices underneath the hood. These include two hybrid drivelines. Our top models are equipped with the i-FORCE MAX 2.4-liter turbocharged hybrid driveline. That puts down 400 pound-feet of torque with standard all-wheel drive. It also can tow up to 5,000 pounds.
