A bigger Highlander doesn’t mean a much bigger lease payment
If the regular Highlander feels just a little too tight for your family’s needs, the 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander offers the extra space without a dramatic jump in price. For September, Toyota is advertising a lease as low as $419 per month on a 36-month term with 12,000 miles per year. You’ll need $3,999 due at signing, though shoppers willing to reduce their mileage allowance can shave that monthly payment down even further. This particular offer appears most prominently in Southwest markets, including Phoenix and parts of New Mexico, but similar deals are showing up elsewhere.
In major hubs like Los Angeles and New York City, advertised payments remain under $500 per month. As with all Toyota leases, the deal also includes two years or 25,000 miles of scheduled maintenance at no additional cost, helping keep ownership costs manageable.

Prefer $0 down on your Grand Highlander lease?
If you’d like to lease a Grand Highlander but don’t want to part with $3,999 when you sign for the three-row SUV, you could try for a zero-down lease. By dividing the down payment across 36 months evenly and adding it to the original payment, we end up with a decent estimate for what a Toyota Grand Highlander lease looks like with no money down. You’ll add about $111.08 to your monthly payment, bringing the new monthly payment to $530.08. Remember, this isn’t an official $0 down quote, and excludes taxes, fees, and any other dealership charges that might crop up. When in doubt, get an official estimate from Toyota.

More about the Toyota Grand Highlander
Where the Highlander makes a solid case as a three-row family SUV, the Grand Highlander pushes the formula further. Measuring more than six inches longer and two and a half inches wider than the standard model, it delivers the kind of breathing room big families crave. The third row in particular benefits, with five extra inches of legroom and an additional inch and a half of headroom compared to the regular Highlander. Altogether, cabin volume grows by 12 cubic feet, making long trips far more comfortable for passengers of all ages.
Standard equipment includes 18-inch alloy wheels, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 265-horsepower four-cylinder engine capable of towing up to 5,000 pounds — the same as the standard Highlander. While it shares much of its DNA with its smaller sibling, the Grand Highlander’s added size and comfort make it the more compelling option for buyers who prioritize space and usability.
Final thoughts
Wouldn’t you know it, September’s best lease deal on the Grand Highlander is identical to August’s. The payments change minimally across all markets, which makes us think waiting for Q4 might be the play here. Overall, the Toyota Grand Highlander is a great pick for drivers that value the extra space. If you don’t need the hybrid capabilities of the Grand Highlander Hybrid and think the normal Highlander is a bit too cramped for the kids, there’s no reason not to dive into a Grand Highlander lease. If you can’t wait, don’t feel too bad — this September offer is pretty value-packed.
