Toyota has also added a $54,060 Nightshade trim to the Grand Highlander for the first time. The new trim is built on the GH Hybrid's Limited model, meaning it's powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder and two electric motors that send a combined 245 horsepower through the all-wheel-drive system.
The Nightshade adds black accents for the door handles, badging, grille, mirror caps, and wheels. The interior is adorned with all the same amenities as the regular Limited model but adds an 11-speaker JBL Audio system at no extra cost.
The Hybrid Max models are back for the Limited and Platinum trims. They start at $56,140 and $60,225, respectively. Both models pair a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder with an electric motor for a combined 362 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque.
Changes are rounded out by two new exterior paint options (Cement and Heavy Metal) and a standard removable second-row console on all captain's-chairs-equipped trims except the LE.
Platinum models are expected to start arriving just before the new year, with LE models expected in the first half of 2025.
