As evident by its name, the GrandHighlander, while still based on the same TNGA-K platform as its sibling, has had its wheelbase and length increased in order to accommodate a third row motoring

At the same time, most of the Highlander’s curvy lines down the side and on the front wings have been squared off, a more pronounced spoiler fitted to the bootlid and unique 20-inch alloy wheels made standard on the top-spec Platinum model.Inside, Toyota has been similarly thorough in the “redesigning” of the Grand Highlander’s interior in order for it to be more upmarket than the standard Highlander’s cab.

Aspects include a revised centre console with a model specific gear lever, a separate second and third row control module for the climate control, standard fitting of a 12.3-inch infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, no less than 10 USB ports, up to 13 cupholders and upgraded materials.

Standard safety and driver assistance tech comprise Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, a surround-view rear monitor, Autonomous Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist, Lane Tracing and Driver Attention Alert. Moving one up, the Limited receives 20-inch alloys, full-LED headlights, a heated second row, ambient lighting, a heated steering wheel, front seat ventilation, folding electric mirrors, rear parking sensors, an eleven-speaker JBL sound system, hands-free opening/closing tailgate and a 1 500-watt outlet in the boot.

In terms of boot space, Toyota didn’t disclose capacity with all seven seats up, though it did reveal luggage space of 595-litres with the third row down and 2 775-litres with the second row lowered.Up front, a choice of three engines can be specified, but, as with the normal Highlander, no longer with six-cylinder as the free-breathing 3.5-litre mill departs in favour of the 2.
