2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid Max Outruns Three-Row Rivals

• Our test results for the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid Max show impressive acceleration times.

• It also beat out other three-row SUVs in terms of observed fuel economy.

• The Hybrid Max setup is only available on the Grand Highlander's top two trim levels.

Welcome to Car and Driver's Testing Hub, where we zoom in on the test numbers. We've been pushing vehicles to their limits since 1956 to provide objective data to bolster our subjective impressions (you can see how we test here).

We found a lot to like about the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander when we first drove and tested it, but now that we've been able to compare it against the three-row SUV segment writ large, we're particularly impressed with the performance of its new 362-horsepower Hybrid Max powertrain. This setup, which combines a turbocharged 2.4-liter inline-four gas engine with two electric motors and a six-speed automatic transmission, delivers on both the acceleration and fuel-economy fronts.
