The 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid MAX Limited AWD is the performance-oriented hybrid SUV in the Grand Highlander lineup. It combines a turbocharged 2.4-liter inline-4 Hybrid MAX engine with electric motors to deliver about 362 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque — far more than the standard Grand Highlander hybrid. Power is routed through a 6-speed automatic transmission and full-time electronic AWD for confident traction. Despite its performance focus, it still offers three-row seating, advanced safety tech, and SUV practicality. Fuel economy is lower than the standard hybrid (~27 mpg combined), but acceleration and towing capability are significantly enhanced.
