Is the 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander Nightshade a midsize SUV worth the NEW price?

The Nightshade trim of the Grand Highlander is all new from Toyota for 2025. On the outside you will discover the Cement paint color, black 20in wheels, and unique black grill. On the inside you will be greeted by a 12.3in infotainment screen and 12.3in digital gauge cluster. Under the hood is a 2.5L inline-4 hybrid.

Some people are saying it looks plain and boring, but honestly it looks pretty great to me!

I discovered your channel not long, but you've obviously rise to be one of my favourite reviewers

I love simplicity wrapped in humble and unique elegance. This design is so beautiful. Not all about blin-blin shining stuffs. Keeping It Simple & Smart (KISS) 😘

I love this design 💯👌

💯

You can never go wrong with a Toyota, built right and always reliable. Great video Joe. Kudos 👏

[Raider]

I'd call it Battleship Grey. Absolutely beautiful.

Guns and Roses Nighttrain popped in my head suddenly

Thanks Raiti's ride for another great review. I love this vehicle it gives you the large OPTION without being HUMONGOUS and still with SICK (Amazing) cargo space. I agree the coloring is ideal here in this edition and the black trim provides that extra cool factor even elegance. While I like most of what was shown in the interior, in particular the smart dash where Toyota does not go over board on instrumentation, making it easily accessible where many auto firms now have placed to much emphasis on electronic touch (not safe in my view). Yes, Toyota can take it further by adding a little zing to the interior with extra colors tying in outside colors. That being said, it looks comfortable and nice enough. I have the Toyota Rav4 Prime XSE 2024 (after watching one of your videos). I'm loving it. I have had the car since September 30th and have not had to fill the tank even once. If I were buying a larger vehicle I could see myself getting this one.

Cool Joe, U an an hour early! I wasn't expecting this. I thought it would be the 4runner for a minute lol

exactly what i wanted toyota to do with the grand Highlander, will be picking one up soons its available. limited hybrid max awd in that amazinggg cement color with nightshade is 👌👌

[jeschr]

Looks really good. I would get it if it came with 8 seats. I would even get an EV grand highlander as all of the current three row EV's are too small and/or out of price range.

I got my deposit down for it, and already allocated!!

[abbymcelwee]

Do you know if the nightshade will be available on the platinum trim?

[stevennaumovski]

Really is something different. Very nice colour and design. I kept on thinking ford of the front of it. Like a ford focus RS. 😊

[davidp]

Its appearance is understated. It seems like a decent value.

This is Faster Than a Volkswagen Atlas SEL, Right?

[garymiller]

Built here in Southern Indiana! Kind of hoping for something more than just a trim upgrade on an SUV that had enough of a problem they stopped production for quite some time. Let’s hope the issue is fixed this time. JBL sound system in Toyota is not the best out there.

[abbymcelwee]

Can’t wait to see what it looks like in black 🖤

[dominickirkwood]

Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍

[lifeonearth]

Great video joe! Hopefully i can afford this one day and go camping in it with my sweetheart

[grandblaster]

Looks nice is it family safety as the Subaru?

[nick]

Love the cement color!!! Saw a Sienna yesterday in cement and stopped and took a second look. Is the midnight package only in cement?
