Underneath the sophisticated exterior lies a powertrain engineered for smooth, confident performance. The 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander Platinum is equipped with a 2.4L I-4 port/direct injection, DOHC, variable valve control, intercooled turbo engine that produces a robust 265HP.

The mechanical sophistication extends to the chassis, which utilizes an Independent front suspension with a Strut front suspension design and a Multi-link rear suspension at the back.

When cruising on the highway, the Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) maintains a set distance from the vehicle ahead, and the Lane Departure Alert (LDA) w/Steering Assist helps keep you centered in your lane. The Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) and Rear Cross-Traffic Braking (RCTB) provide an extra set of eyes when changing lanes or reversing out of a driveway.

Parking is made safer and more convenient with Front and Rear Parking Assist w/Automatic Braking, which can intervene if an obstacle is detected.
