The 2026 Toyota Highlander continues to offer the space and flexibility of a three-row SUV in a size that works well for everyday driving. With gas and hybrid powertrain options, available all-wheel drive, modern technology, and seating for up to eight, the Highlander gives buyers several ways to configure their SUV around their needs.
Performance & Powertrain Options
The 2026 Highlander is available with a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder gas engine producing 265 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque.
Drivers looking for greater fuel efficiency can choose the Highlander Hybrid, which pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with Toyota's hybrid system for 243 net combined horsepower.
Depending on the configuration, front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive options are available.
Three-Row Interior
The Highlander offers three rows of seating with room for seven or eight passengers, depending on configuration.
Second-row captain's chairs are available for buyers who prefer easier access to the third row, while other configurations offer a second-row bench to maximize seating capacity.
Folding the rear seats also provides additional cargo room when passenger space isn't needed.
