Awesome review from the awesome team. I'm really loving almost everything they've done to this vehicle. The space plus heated / ventilated seats. LEDs all around. Digital dash. Wow definitely in my top 3 choice for next family car

I think they made all the right moves and design changes, including engine options. I just bought a 2022 Limited AWD Highlander because I wanted to have the 295 Hp V6. I have zero complaints other than I had to fork out and extra $1995 for adjusted market value but at least I got everything I wanted including color and interior trim. Looking forward to checking one of these out in person. Great job Joe and Lori!

Great video as always! You are fun to watch and enjoy your content you provide, and your wife is probably the best camera operator of all the different car video channels I watch. You guys make a great team! Also, I like the fun fact, I could see this becoming a thing in your videos. Have a great day!

Thanks for doing this one. My wife and I are looking for something slightly bigger than normal highlander and very excited to get the grand highlander in the next few years to start our little family. Absoluately love what you are doing Joe!

This grand highlander is making my heart pitter patter right now,this blue is the one I would go with hands down! Fantastic work joe and incredible camera work Lori;😊thank you for being the best in the biz. 😊😊😊😊😊😊

I'm loving this new Toyota. Looks like I have another car to add to my list of cars I'm thinking about getting next. Your reviews are very informative, and it helps me know exactly which car I want.

Wow, awesome review Joe! Toyota hit it out of the ballpark. I love my Highlander but with a 4th grand kid on the way, I’m thinking hard about moving to this. My big concern is pricing, the Platinum Hybrid Highlander comes in around $53K, I can only imagine what a platinum version of this may be. I hope Toyota doesn’t price themselves out of the segment.

The exterior looks good, intricate tail lights, tasteful color definitely bigger than the Highlander. I'm digging this ride thanks to Joe and Lori for the video!👍👍

I like the Sequoia. But the overall packaging of the interior was badly done in my opinion in terms of the space management. I had expected the Sequoia to have 3rd row accomodations that will match that of the Tahoe or Expedition but sadly that was not the case. The Sequoia should also have been built with an independent rear suspension setup rather than the solid axle setup which impedes on rear occupant space.

Does the back window open for quick access? One thing I LOVE and my Honda friends are jealous about. Hope they keep that convenient feature. Love the extra cargo space. So important. Also VERY glad to see the roof rails. Having a roof rack is an absolute for fun family adventures (kayaks!!). Sad to see the Sienna LE doesn't have them standard anymore.

Absolutely love it! Can’t wait to find out pricing. This is a great “goldilocks” option when Highlander is too small and Sequoia is too big. It’s just right!

Great detailed review from the little details you have from Toyota. Was considering an Atlas or Palisade for 2024. Other considerations were CX-90 and Pilot, but liked the Altas and Palisade better overall. Now with the unveiling of the Grand Highlander this might move to the top of my list. Atlas only has 1 motor for 2024. Palisade doesn’t even have wireless CarPlay for their top trims. This new Grand Highlander has the best of all worlds it seems.

I really don’t see a market fit for the grand highlander. They have a highlander model, sequoia, 4Runner (3rd row option) and Tundra. Where does this slide in? It likely won’t justify the price upgrade from the current highlander. Otherwise, wouldn’t a family get a sequoia if they needed a lot of extra space or a 4Runner w/ 3rd row? I do think Toyota is making a mistake adding these newer turbos. Hope I’m wrong. Fuel mpg is far less in a naturally aspirated engine but, the reliability is forever.
