Very happy with all Toyota vehicles since 1976. My current Toyota Sienna Hybrid so wonderful after a long road trip to northern California and Southern California driving 1000 miles (620km) without refueling sometimes getting 42 mpg. What amazing is how spacious and big the Sienna is making a great vehicle for travel even though only 2 of us traveling.

Nice review! I'm getting my Platinum Hybrid Max in few days, I ordered it over 3 months ago, from every video I have watched, it looks like an awesome SUV, fingers crossed!

[@ShiftingLanes]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@susandellinger1639]

@@ShiftingLanes Drove it off the lot today, it's sweet! Definitely will take a few days to get acclimated to all the awesome features! Current vehicle is a 2013 Pilot, which I love but I haven't like the styling of the recent Pilots so I went with the Grand Highlander Hybrid Platinum Max. Once again, crossing fingers it is good, but I'm pretty sure it will be! Storm Cloud with Black Leather!

How do you like the acceleration? I'm looking at trading in my Toyota sienna. ​@@susandellinger1639

[@paulbernard2094]

Good video. I enjoy your personality and you strike me as a genuine person and family man. Thanks for checking about the drywall - good idea there.

[@JS-bv2tp]

Definitely at the top of my list for my next vehicle. 360 hp, 400 tq @ 27 mpg! Looks great inside and out and for 60k, isn't bad imo.

[@preoksaha4504]

So apparently in real time everyday driving people are getting 24mpg at best. Still awesome for the power it has with reg fuel too.

[@khaledalshemare9954]

Great, comprehensive review in a relatively short time.

[@wackit6756]

That’s a really thorough review you gave! Nice SUV but any word on a plug in Hybrid coming?

[@ShiftingLanes]

Much appreciated! No plugin hybrid for this one yet. Given the Hybrid Max nature, I don’t think a plugin would work in this case.

[@derekmfink]

The Lexus version of it, the TX, offers a plugin hybrid version I believe

[@buddysteve5543]

The huge difference between this vehicle and all other vehicles you mention is that at after 300k miles, you won't have a single transmission, engine, nor hybrid system issue with the Grand Highlander if you take good care of it including cleaning that hybrid filter on a regular basis!

[@onemanzu]

Are those lights right above the steering wheel on the column visible to the eye or is it just the camera picking them up?

[@tycute21]

Toyota made good vehicle and very reliable .

[@sayamabusadatmd3203]

Is there any plug in hybrid in this particular model ?

[@edhughes6854]

Don’t forget about the chip shortage. Bought in November. Have not received my second key. Ask for it before you sign.

[@biotechemboy]

Does the hybrid help in daily driving and reducing trips to gas station?

[@jameslester4474]

Thanks for the review. I learned one thing. I can Not afford one ! 😥

[@jamesg872]

I don't like that Toyota seems to have adopted the modern tall square front aesthetic. I like tapered downwards for visibility. The Sienna still has those sensible curves.

[@connectmeall]

I got my GH limited Vehicle last week. I like the vehicle. Two issues are it doesn’t have Driver easy speak and second while on Bluetooth call the other end caller cannot hear passenger side person voice. This model comes with microphone on driver and passenger side. But not working, anybody has this issue? Dealer saying microphone on driver side only picks sound, what kind of nonsense. Then what is the point of microphone at passenger side. Any input from any GH owners?

[@davewong73671]

I wish they would make more siennas. At this size, I rather get a sienna than grand highlander.

[@ChristopherBolston]

What do the hybrid do is it another engine or what

[@kungfulender8733]

I agree

[@Briguy1027]

The big grill looks silly.

[@MuasKe]

The extra cost versus the competition is not worth it

[@TravelGrid]

Very interested. But just can't bring myself to pay the 10k markups that the Toyota dealers in California are doing :(

[@MuasKe]

Agree d

[@JackSmith-qi7dr]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Guess you like this look but dang, that looks very boring.

[@buddysteve5543]

that leather looks too faded for me! I don't like it!

[@PeopleHealthTec]

bronze accents

[@bigdogpete43]

4 banger. You can keep it.

[@seikocitizenwatches]

Actually after driving the Sienna Hybrid for a few years I would never go back to V6 with passenger cars. V6 and V8 should only offer in high performance and expensive vehicles like Lexus GX550, LX, LS, Toyota Sequoia etc. My

[@johnJohn-dz4ex]

No it's not! It rides well, but you need to test drive it and realize that it just doesn't have the excitement factor, it's got the reliability of a Toyota, but it still rides like a station wagon.

[@stefantakacs]

If you need a three row... get a Sienna. Proportions of all SUVs are bloated. YOU ARE NOT COOL DRIVING AN SUV. YOU ARE NOT TAKING THIS OFF ROAD. Ditching my shitty "cool suv" that gets shit MPG. Tiny space overall for a minivan.

[@njackson3148]

My wife loved her minivan but we needed something to tow our 20ft boat that with trailer that weighs in at around 3700lbs. The hybrid max Grand Highlander tows 5000lb where as the sienna only 3500. Plus I wouldn't feel confident pulling out of a wet boat ramp with only FWD.

[@naveenthemachine]

Yeah no it didn’t 😂 The telluride and palisade are who destroyed the 3 row competition

[@DrCbass123]

Just bought a hybrid max. There’s no way I’d trade it for a Korean vehicle. Absolutely scoots for a big family vehicle. Tons of room in every row plus room for luggage in the back. There’s no comparison. Toyota vehicles will still be running in a decade. Something the other brands can’t say.

[@alexmassengale433]

A Telluride isn't as nice as a Grand Highlander Hybrid Max. You might be able to argue it is a better value but it is way down on power and gets much worse city MPG. If both were the same price, nobody would buy a Telluride.

[@naveenthemachine]

@@alexmassengale433 if they were the same price the telluride would still win over the grand highlander for its looks, interior, features and tech, comfort, luxury, space, and value The telluride already wins without a doubt over the Lexus TX

[@ibrahimbashir6634]

Keep whining little indian princess !!

[@ibrahimbashir6634]

Shituride and shittysade don't hold any ground in front of the king Grand Highlander

[@preoksaha4504]

I love big grills! When done right it’s dope. This things pulls it off 🤌🏽
