Meet the 2024 Toyota Highlander

The 2024 Toyota Highlander is a durable three-row family SUV with seating for up to eight passengers. This Toyota SUV boasts electronic on-demand all-wheel drive (AWD) and the choice of a conventional gas or hybrid engine.

The Highlander is loved by drivers who want a safe and reliable people mover with plenty of room for the whole family, convenient features and technology, as well as high ratings for safety.

Let’s look a little deeper into the 2024 Toyota Highlander.

Powertrain and Fuel Economy

Toyota Highlanders are available with a choice of two drivetrains in 2024: 

  • A 2.4-liter four-cylinder turbo paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
  • A 2.5-liter engine mated to an electric motor and paired with a continuously variable
    transmission (CVT).

Both drive trains are available in front-wheel drive layout or all-wheel drive, but hybrid models get electronic on-demand all-wheel drive that sends power to the front wheels only under most driving conditions. This improves fuel economy even further. Non-hybrid models use stop/start technology to stop the engine from idling and save fuel at traffic lights. 
Fuel economy ratings for the Highlander are 21/28/24 mpg city/highway/combined while the Highlander Hybrid is rated for 35 mpg in all three driving scenarios. 
Highlander can tow up to 2,500 lbs.

Toyota Safety Sense 3.0

All 2024 Toyota models include the technologically advanced driver aid and safety system, Toyota Safety Sense 3.0.
This system combines camera and radar technology to deliver features including:

  • Pre-collision system to alert the driver of imminent collisions and assist in braking.
  • Dynamic radar cruise control that can keep a gap to the vehicle in front during traffic.
  • Blind-spot detection and alert.
  • Lane-trace alert and assist.
  • Automatic high beams and rain-sensing wipers.

These features help the Highlander earn top safety picks from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). 

Interior Features

The spacious interior of the Highlander packs plenty of clever features. These include five USB charging ports so there’s no fighting over power for passengers, and QI-capable wireless charging.

The 12.3-in. multimedia touchscreen in higher trim levels gives the driver and passengers access to a range of vehicle functions including audio, navigation, and smartphone mirroring thanks to wireless Apple Carplay® and wireless Android Auto® capability.
 
Heated and cooled front seats plus a heated steering wheel keep the front-row occupants comfortable in all weather, with outboard heated seats in the second row to help passengers stay cozy on long winter drives.

Leather-trimmed seats and optional 11-speaker JBL® Premium Audio including subwoofer and amplifier finish off the luxurious Highlander interior.
