The Toyota Highlander has been popular in Sandusky for many years. Its three rows of seats work in its favor, as does its capability. Toyota recently came out with the Grand Highlander, which is now available at Firelands Toyota. Since it shares part of its name with the Toyota Highlander, it makes sense that these two models appear similar. How exactly do these two SUVs differ?
They both have plenty of cabin space and seating accommodations for up to eight. However, the Grand Highlander is the more spacious vehicle. It provides third-row passengers with extra legroom, and it has more cargo space as well. When deciding between the two models, you must consider how much gear and how many passengers you might take on trips around Sandusky and beyond.
Another distinction can be found by looking at what components are under the hoods of the Highlander and Grand Highlander. The Toyota Highlander can have a 2.4-liter turbocharged or 2.5-liter engine and an electric motor. The hybrid configuration will give you 243 horsepower and can help you save gas when driving around town. It comes with an estimated fuel economy of 36 miles per gallon.
The standard Highlander can produce an impressive 265 horsepower. In comparison, the Grand Highlander has three available powertrains. It can have the same 2.4-liter turbo engine or the same hybrid system as the Highlander can run on, or it can be upgraded with a Hybrid MAX system. This system lets you push the limits on the road. It delivers 362 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque.
Both the Highlander and Grand Highlander are solid options for our Sandusky customers. They have advanced safety systems, comfortable cabins, and high-tech amenities. Most of their differences are related to size and capability.
