Grand Highlander stretches Highlander packaging for three-row buyers who want more second/third-row space. Trade-offs: gas turbo-four mpg versus Hybrid efficiency; Hybrid MAX-style rows sit between gas and standard Hybrid.

- Grand Highlander Hybrid (listed hybrid row): 36 mpg combined (37/34)
- Grand Highlander Hybrid AWD: 34 mpg combined (36/32)
- Gas LE/XLE / Limited FWD-class rows: 24 mpg combined (21/28)

Standard Hybrid is the efficiency headline. Cross-shop Pilot, Telluride, Palisade, CX-90, and Highlander if you do not need Grand space.
