From what I can see, loving the UI. Great mix of physical and display.

Based on Alex's video, this appears to be waaaay bigger than the Highlander. $4500 cost up for the Hybrid Max over the T24. $1500 for the A25 hybrid over the T24. In either case, I'd probably go hybrid. Either the big fuel efficiency improvement or big performance improvement.

0-60 in 5.6 seconds.. woooowwww
It just feels like Toyota is trying to make the best vehicles in class and Honda is trying to keep loyal owners with low expectations happy.

I think Land Cruiser takes the cake. 1GR, V35A, F33A, and soon V35A hybrid.

God I wish all Toyotas had delicious six-cylinder powertrains like the Land Cruiser does. ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

I am seeing more and more around. I really like the larger RAV-4 looks..
Comparison Test: 2023 Kia Telluride vs. 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander
A practical-three-row-SUV slugfest between the reigning champ and the new kid on the block.
1st Place: 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid Max Platinum AWD
HIGHS: Carries the most cargo, strong fuel economy, lots of power.LOWS: Higher price, cramped third row, Rubik's Cube shifter.
VERDICT: What the Grand Highlander lacks in pizazz, it makes up for in practicality.

Respect… Look the telluride has nothing to be ashemed of. Still solid even if you need a fire extinguisher.
But when Toyota puts their mind to something they are hard to beat

Also your reminder a Toyota Grand Highlander is as fast as the overblown mdx type slow
The almost decade old Q50 is faster than any of their sports cars.
2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid Max Outruns Three-Row Rivals
In our testing, the combination of a turbo 2.4-liter inline-four and two electric motors makes for a quick mid-size SUV, and the fuel economy isn't bad either.
2024 Three-Row SUV Throwdown
After three years of dominance, the Kia Telluride finally has some serious competition. We convene four fresh contenders—Honda Pilot, Jeep Grand Cherokee L, Mazda CX-90, and Toyota Grand Highlander—aiming to upset the crossover hierarchy.
HIGHS: Hauls ass and families, huge cargo space, best fuel economy.
LOWS: Inhospitable third row, unrefined suspension noises, so-so interior finishes.
VERDICT: A hulking speed demon with a few foibles.
The reviews complaint about third row space surprise me. I thought the Grand Highlander and TX had good third row space? That seemed to be the consensus from the early reviews.
As far as the Telluride and Grand Highlander comparison goes, it’s interesting to note the Telluride fuel economy was 2mpg better on the 200 mile, 75mph test.

That surprised me also. Other reviewers say that the Grand Highlander's 3rd row is big enough for adults.
For highway cruising the GH is basically carrying 155kg of dead weight. The lack of VVT-iW and a very odd decision to make Direct4 full-time really affected its highway fuel efficiency.

I saw @mikeavelli sitting in the TX third row with my own eyes, unless he's started adding special effects to his videos.

Like most of us stated the new Pilot is just meh. Toyota knocked it out the park with the GH as Mazda with the CX-90.
