Short answer: For most Louisville families, start with the 2026 RAV4 if five seats are enough (hybrid on every grade, from $31,900, up to 47 MPG city on LE/SE/XLE Premium) or the 2026 Grand Highlander if you need a real third row (up to 8 seats, up to 97.5 cu ft of cargo, from $42,260). If sliding doors work for you, the 2026 Sienna hybrid minivan seats up to 8 and is EPA-rated 36/36 MPG on most grades. Every new Toyota includes ToyotaCare scheduled maintenance.

We don't publish our own reliability rankings. What we can tell you: the RAV4, Sienna, Highlander Hybrid and Grand Highlander Hybrid all use Toyota hybrid powertrains, every new Toyota includes ToyotaCare scheduled maintenance (see the ToyotaCare page for terms), and our factory-trained service team is on site at 8003 Shelbyville Rd. For third-party reliability ratings, check independent sources such as Consumer Reports or J.D. Power.
The Grand Highlander is larger, with more third-row and cargo space (up to 97.5 cu ft). Both seat up to eight and tow up to 5,000 lbs when properly equipped. The gas Grand Highlander starts lower, at $42,260 MSRP versus $46,270 for the gas Highlander.
If you carry car seats or carpool, the Sienna's sliding doors, up to eight seats and 36/36 MPG hybrid rating (most grades) are hard to beat. If you need to tow or want SUV styling, compare the Grand Highlander.
New Toyotas include ToyotaCare scheduled maintenance. Coverage terms are on the ToyotaCare page; ask our team for details.
