If you want to maximize interior passenger volume and available cargo room, we strongly recommend that you opt for the 2025 Grand Highlander as your next Massillon mainstay. The Grand Highlander is the obvious winner here, as it has more than 10 additional cubic feet of passenger volume and maxes out at an impressive 97.5 cubic feet of storage room.
While not diminutive by any means, the Highlander, by contrast, has a maximum cargo capacity of 84.3 cubic feet and a tighter cabin than its “Grand” cousin. Check out the interior seating dimensions of the Toyota Grand Highlander vs. Highlander, below:

On the other hand, if you routinely make long trips to and from Canton and wish to prioritize fuel economy above having a more spacious interior and storage, the Toyota Highlander edges out the Grand Highlander as the more fuel-efficient mid-size crossover. The Highlander even has a slightly higher fuel tank capacity than the Grand Highlander (17.9 gallons vs. 17.83 gallons), and both are designed to run well on unleaded, regular gasoline (87 octane). You can view their respective fuel economy figures above.
Otherwise, both vehicles are quite comparable when it comes to performance. They both have a 2.4L turbocharged inline-4 engine that delivers 265 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque, enabling them to tow up to 5,000 pounds when correctly equipped. Both can be configured as FWD or AWD and come standard with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
