Commercial overview

The 2026 Toyota Highlander is the current Highlander built by GAC Toyota in China, launched on 23 September 2025. It offers the widest choice of any model year: nine trims, a 2.5L self-charging hybrid with 181 kW system power in front-drive or electric-AWD form, and a 2.0T petrol (380T) with 182 kW, 380 N·m, an 8-speed automatic and on-demand AWD. Every trim gets a 15.6-inch touchscreen powered by a Snapdragon 8155P, a 12.3-inch cluster and Toyota Safety Sense with full-speed adaptive cruise. EVtoU supplies it as new, 0 km vehicles for dealers and fleets.

For importers, the 2026 model is the easiest Highlander to sell as new: it is the current production vehicle, it carries the latest cockpit, and it gives you both a hybrid for fuel-sensitive buyers and a turbo petrol for markets where hybrids are less familiar.

The hybrid uses a 2.5L A25D engine (139 kW, 236 N·m) with a 134 kW front motor; AWD versions add a 40 kW rear motor (E-Four). WLTC fuel use is 5.82 L/100 km for FWD and 5.97 L/100 km for AWD, on 92 RON fuel. The 2.0T S20A produces 182 kW and 380 N·m from 1,800 rpm, with off-road and snow drive modes.

Nine factory trims run from the 5-seat Hybrid FWD Elite to the 7-seat Hybrid AWD Flagship with JBL 11-speaker audio and 360° camera. China MSRP ranges from ¥249,800 to ¥325,800 — a reference point only; your export price is quoted per trim, colour, quantity and destination.

Frequently asked questions

What changed on the 2026 Toyota Highlander?

All trims now use a 15.6-inch touchscreen with the Snapdragon 8155P chip (the 2024 model had 10.25 or 12.3-inch screens), and Cyber Gold joins the colour range. Powertrains and dimensions are unchanged from the 2024 Highlander.

Is the 2026 Highlander available as a 5-seater?

Yes — the 2.5L Hybrid FWD Elite is offered with 5 seats. All other trims have 7 seats in a 2-3-2 layout.

Hybrid or 2.0T — which should I import?

The hybrid for fuel economy and city or fleet use; the 2.0T where 95 RON fuel is easy to find, hybrid servicing is limited, or buyers want AWD with off-road and snow modes. See the hybrid vs petrol comparison.
