The 2027 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid is headed to Legacy Toyota of Dallas, and it lands as one of the few three-row SUVs that pairs a genuinely adult-sized third row with hybrid fuel economy. If you have been cross-shopping three-row crossovers around South Dallas, DeSoto, and Duncanville, this is the one that asks your family to give up the least — space, efficiency, or capability.
Toyota reshaped the hybrid lineup this year. The headline addition is the Grand Highlander Hybrid Woodland Edition, which arrives with all-wheel drive standard, all-terrain tires on matte black 18-inch wheels, an extra half inch of ground clearance, a tow hitch, and a removable Woodland-branded cooler for the second row. The Hybrid Nightshade and Hybrid MAX Limited grades do not return for 2027, which leaves a shorter, clearer grade list to shop. Full details are in Toyota’s 2027 Grand Highlander announcement.
Five hybrid grades are available for 2027, split across two powertrains and three drivetrain setups.
| Grade | Powertrain | Drivetrain | Standout equipment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hybrid LE | 2.5L Hybrid | FWD or AWD | 18-in. wheels, 8-passenger 60/40 bench, 12.3-in. touchscreen |
| Hybrid XLE | 2.5L Hybrid | FWD or AWD | SofTex seating, heated front seats and steering wheel, wireless charger, available captain’s chairs |
| Hybrid Woodland Edition | 2.5L Hybrid | AWD standard | All-terrain tires, +0.5-in. ground clearance, removable second-row cooler, tow hitch, LED fog lamps |
| Hybrid Limited | 2.5L Hybrid | AWD standard | Leather seating, heated and ventilated front seats, 11-speaker JBL audio, hands-free power liftgate |
| Hybrid MAX Platinum | Hybrid MAX | AWD standard | Panoramic moonroof, head-up display, Panoramic View Monitor, digital rearview mirror |
Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, three-zone automatic climate control, and the 12.3-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard across the entire 2027 Grand Highlander Hybrid lineup.
Driver-assistance and advanced safety systems are supplemental aids and are not substitutes for safe and attentive driving. Availability, operation, and effectiveness vary by trim and equipment and depend on factors including road, weather, traffic, and vehicle condition. Always keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. See your owner’s manual for system limitations and details.
The reason families keep landing on this one is simple: the back row is not a penalty box. Adults fit, and the cargo floor behind them still holds a weekend’s worth of luggage.

Fuel economy figures shown are manufacturer estimates; the EPA has not yet rated this vehicle. Manufacturer-estimated figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.
Both are self-charging. Neither ever needs a plug — they recover energy under braking and from the gas engine while you drive, so you fuel up at any station and keep going. If you want the full breakdown, see how Toyota hybrids compare to plug-ins and EVs.
