Toyota Drops Attractive 2025 Highlander Lease Offer For October

The Highlander is a safe bet, but Toyota’s next crossover has surpassed it

If you need a little more space and seating than the Toyota RAV4, the Highlander is the next step up in the Japanese brand’s lineup. Highlander sales have dipped this year, but much of that has to do with the introduction of the larger, newer and inexplicably cheaper Grand Highlander.

Still, if you need a third row and want a solid crossover, the Highlander should be on your short list. Until October, Toyota has certain 2025 Highlander Trim Rental Deals. The recently introduced 2026 model is practically unchanged, so you can save money by choosing the 2025 model. Here’s a closer look at the numbers.

in 2025 Toyota Highlander leases start at $449 per month over 36 months with a down payment of $4,448 at signing. This is for the base LE trim, which was discontinued for the 2026 model year.

This Toyota Highlander lease deal is based on driving 12,000 miles annually, but you’ll pay $0.18 for every mile you drive over that limit. It does not include taxes, title, licenses, registration fees and any dealer options. Offer valid in AL, FL, GA, NC and SC; similar offers may be available in other states, so it’s best to check Toyota’s incentive page for your area’s zip code.

If you want more features and better efficiency, the next October lease deal is the Highlander Hybrid XLE. It costs $529 per month over 36 months, with a $4,528 down payment at signing. Both offers expire in 2025. on November 3, so time is running out to take advantage of them.

If you don’t want to lease a Toyota Highlander in 2025. The Highlander and Highlander Hybrid are also available for financing at 5.99% APR based on a 72-month term. These offers expire at the same time and are available in the same states, but are valid on five (Highlander) or eight (Highlander Hybrid) models, so there are more options if you choose the financing route.

Toyota Highlander power units and features

The non-hybrid Highlander has a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with 265 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. The LE comes with either front- or all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic.

If you go for the hybrid, you get a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine and three electric motors; this setup makes a combined 243 hp. Unlike the non-hybrid model, an electronic AWD system is standard here, as is the CVT. The non-hybrid Highlander gets 25 mpg combined with FWD, while the hybrid gets 35 mpg.

The LE has the following standard features:

• LED projector headlights and fog lights

• Seven-inch color LCD multifunction display

• Cloth seats with eight-way power driver’s seat

• Seating for eight people

• Three-zone automatic climate control

• Eight-inch touchscreen

The only other model with an October lease, the Hybrid XLE, adds extra features like second-row captain’s chairs (bringing seating to seven), SofTex upholstery with heated front seats, and a power moonroof.

Final thoughts

The Toyota Highlander has been overshadowed by the superior Grand Highlander, but it’s about as reliable as three-row family crossovers get. Both models are reasonably fast, but the hybrid has much more efficiency, which can help offset the higher monthly rental costs.

On the downside, Hyundai is offering a cheaper lease on the much newer and premium Palisade. This deal starts at $409 per month, with a $3,999 payment due at signing that Toyota also cuts. It also comes standard with a sharper V6.

Remember, Toyota still sells thousands of Highlanders a month, so it’s under less pressure to offer the best lease deals than many of its competitors.
