The Toyota SUV lineup covers a wide spectrum, from the compact Corolla Cross to the impressively large Sequoia. The 2024 Grand Highlander is an all-new crossover that sits at the larger end of the range, offering spacious seating for up to eight passengers across three rows, and boasting power under the hood to match its striking size. Here's why the upcoming Grand Highlander is set to be Toyota's next best-selling SUV success.
Choice of High-End Powertrains
The 2024 Grand Highlander is available with a choice of powertrains that combine high outputs with incredible fuel economy. At the entry-level trim, a 2.4-litre gas turbo model delivers 265 horsepower, passed to all-wheel drive through an eight-speed automatic transmission. Despite the high output, this configuration won't cost you a fortune at the gas pump thanks to its attractive fuel economy of just 10.0 L/100 km combined.
Moving up a level, a 2.5-litre hybrid design drops the output a little to 243 horsepower, but more than makes up for it with an excellent combined fuel economy of just 7.0 L/100 km. At this level, the power output is again passed to all-wheel drive as standard, but this time through an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (eCVT) for smooth, responsive acceleration.
Perhaps the most enticing blend of performance and economy can be found in the top-level Platinum MAX Hybrid trim, which boasts a 2.4-litre turbo hybrid engine that generates 362 horsepower. This powertrain is linked to a six-speed automatic transmission and even provides paddle shifters for a thrilling hands-on feel. Thanks to the advanced hybrid design, performance is delivered at a rate of just 8.8 L/100 km, making the 2024 Grand Highlander one of the most fuel-efficient SUVs available today.
Premium Interior and Advanced Technology
The Grand Highlander is available with an impressive range of interior comforts, including heated and ventilated seating in the first two rows, soft leather upholstery, dual captain's chairs in the second row, and power adjustment with memory for both driver and passenger seats.
The infotainment technology is equally impressive, based around a 12.3-inch touchscreen display and offering access to wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, dual Bluetooth connections, and more. Seven USB ports are placed around the cabin to handle device-charging duties, while an 11-speaker premium JBL sound system offers concert hall-quality audio on the move.
The family-friendly design of the Grand Highlander also includes an extensive suite of safety technologies across the range. Highlights include automatic emergency braking, lane departure warnings with lane keep assist, automated emergency steering, and much more.
