The 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander Gets a New Base Trim and a Slightly Lower Starting Price

The Toyota Grand Highlander arrived in 2024, offering more space and comfort features than the already well-equipped three-row Highlander. That said, the SUV isn’t cheap, though that’s changing as we head into the 2025 model year. Toyota recently announced pricing and configuration details for the extended family hauler, and there’s a new entry-level trim joining the lineup with a slightly lower starting price.

The new LE trim is more than $2,000 cheaper than the current base model, giving it a starting MSRP of $42,310. Adding all-wheel drive to the LE trim costs an extra $3,350, making it only a little pricier than 2024’s base XLE front-wheel drive trim, which costs $44,770. Though the SUV is getting a cheaper starting price, the most affordable LE model won’t arrive until the first half of 2025, while the more expensive XLE trim will hit dealers’ lots this December.

Toyota equips a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder as standard, which makes 265 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. Two hybrid models are available, with the base setup employing a 2.5-liter four-cylinder and two electric motors that make a combined 243 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque. The range-topping hybrid gets a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder and two electric motors, making a combined 362 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque.

The Grand Highlander has had a bumpy few months, as Toyota paused production at its Indiana plant to rework some of the SUV’s suspension and safety components. The shutdown also impacted the Lexus LX, which shares much of its design with the Grand Highlander.
