Toyota presented "nothing" to one of its most important models. And he did it with a trick because the Grand Highlander debuted first showing the world its design and housing qualities. The rest of its secrets have not yet seen the light and that is why the rumors do not stop speculating with what possibilities they could surprise us. So the whole team X-Tomi design has got down to work and has created the new Toyota GR Grand Highlander.
As you well know, the GR surname is taking over "almost" all the models in the Toyota range. With him they want us to believe that we are facing sports versions, although in cases such as the Yaris or Corolla it is true. Well, continuing with this reasoning Rumors suggest that a Toyota GR Grand Highlander could be a fact Or, at least, it would be a feasible possibility. Do you want to know what their “solid” reasons are? You will see.
A Toyota GR Grand Highlander may or may not be on the way with a powerful turbo hybrid…
Like we have already said, the mechanical range of the new Grand Highlander is a half mystery. In the Japanese house they still do not want to announce it because its commercial debut will take place later. However, it is official that under its hood there will be a couple of gasoline engines. The difference between one and the other is that there will be a “access” block with turbo and another more “complete” one that is one hundred percent non-plug-in hybrid…
If the rumors are correct, X-Tomi Design believes that this GR Grand Highlander will be more aggressive. For this they delight us with a sportier front grille and a more voluminous and muscular bumper. In addition to a diffuser in the bass that gives it a more racing touch. The bichromatic combination of the bodywork also makes it look more attractive as do the sports wheels or the lower body ground clearance.
Still, while we like what we see, we must be serious. That Toyota's GAZOO RACING division is working on such a model is almost impossible. The reason for this is simple: for now they are focused on a couple of market segments that are attractive, such as compact or mid-size SUVs. Designing a model like the Grand Highlander would not make much sense, although as aesthetic package does fit us.
You will have to be very attentive to the Toyota's next steps for the Grand Highlander. Who knows, we might be surprised and it even ends up arriving in Europe to capture the attention of the "raciest daddies"... Patience...
