The automaker is expanding the Woodland Edition lineup with a new take on its hybrid three-row that brings some clever equipment.From Ford's Tremor and Honda's TrailSport to Nissan's Rock Creek and Subaru's Wilderness, most major automakers offer some form of outdoorsy adventure-minded trim.While they don't always result in practical improvements to off-road capability, they can occasionally surprise with more than a simple color change and fancy badge.The Grand Highlander Woodland Edition doesn't look dramatically different, but the tweaks do give it a more rugged vibe. - Credit: ToyotaJust take the Woodland Edition treatment Toyota is giving the 2027 Grand Highlander, for instance.Trail looks and practical changesAround the outside, the new Grand Highlander Hybrid Woodland Edition takes a similar approach to many other rugged automotive rethinks.Rolling on a set of matte wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires, it wears black badges, roof rails and mirror caps, plus a tow hitch and mud guards to complement its AWD hybrid powertrain.A special badge is naturally part of the package. - Credit: ToyotaHowever, it's not just a visual treatment. Toyota says that it also rides on slightly taller springs; together with the chunkier rubber, that's a change that results in half an inch of extra ground clearance.Granted, it won't turn the Grand Highlander into a true trail rig. But with a projected 8.5 inches total, the SUV does manage to edge out both the Honda Pilot TrailSport and the Hyundai Palisade XRT Pro.The 8.5-inch ground clearance figure does make the Grand Highlander Hybrid Woodland Edition taller than rivals. - Credit: ToyotaIn any case, Toyota has given the Grand Highlander Hybrid Woodland Edition a few other practical touches that I think promise to be choice additions.Along with LED fog lamps, it brings enhanced lighting in the rear cargo area. There's also a Woodland-branded tray with pop-up dividers to keep gear organized.That rear organizer promises to be pretty slick, and the orange accent is a nice design touch. - Credit: ToyotaIn that same spirit, Toyota's Grand Highlander Hybrid Woodland Edition package bundles a removable cooler into the console of the second-row seats. It brings special branding as well, and it fits up to six 12-ounce cans.Rounded out by other equipment like all-weather floor mats, a standard heated steering wheel and an additional 120V/1500W power outlet in the second row, the Woodland Edition is exclusively available with black leather upholstery.Toyota says the cooler can hold six 12-ounce cans. - Credit: ToyotaAvailability and pricingToyota says the 2027 Grand Highlander Hybrid Woodland Edition is scheduled to go on sale in the US, though the brand has not announced pricing for the trim just yet.For perspective, MSRP is set to start at $42,560 for the LE grade FWD models and at $45,910 for LE grade hybrid models.2027 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid Woodland Edition Learn More About the Author: Gray is an associate editor at Gear Patrol, covering cars, motorcycles and anything else with wheels.
