Engine and Performance
The 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander offers three different powertrains to suit the requirements of different customers. The standard option is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that can produce 265 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque, with a max towing capacity of 5,000 pounds. This engine is available in both all-wheel drive (AWD) and front-wheel drive (FWD) models and pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission. In terms of performance, the turbocharged four-cylinder standard engine is impressively responsive and reaches zero to 60 mph in just 7.0 seconds.
Hybrid Powertrains
The 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander is available in two hybrid powertrains, a standard and the Hybrid Max. The hybrid powertrain combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine with two electric motors, resulting in a total output of 245 net hp and 175 lb-ft of torque, with a max towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. The hybrid MAX powertrain is the most powerful and combines a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor, producing an impressive 362 net hp and 400 lb-ft of torque, with a max towing capacity of 5,000 pounds.
Both hybrid powertrains are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and are available with FWD or AWD. In terms of performance, the Grand Highlander Hybrid is quite quick. The standard hybrid can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 7.0 seconds, while the Hybrid Max can do it in 5.6 seconds.
Grand Highlander MPG and Fuel Economy
The 2024 Grand Highlander is one of the most fuel-efficient three-row SUVs on the market. Among all three engine options, the 2.5-liter hybrid is the most fuel-efficient, with an estimated range of 37 mpg on city roads and 34 mpg on highways for the FWD model. The standard turbocharged non-hybrid engine offers 21 mpg on city roads and 28 mpg on highways. The hybrid MAX model is equally impressive, delivering 26 mpg on city roads and 27 mpg on highways.
While the hybrid MAX powertrain is slightly less fuel-efficient than the standard hybrid model, it still offers decent fuel economy compared to other three-row SUVs with a turbocharged engine. The impressive fuel economy makes the Grand Highlander an excellent choice for families looking for a fuel-efficient, spacious SUV for school runs, errands, and road trips. You can visit the EPA’s website for more detailed information about the Grand Highlander’s fuel economy for different trims.
Exterior Design and Colors
The distinct muscular exterior design makes the 2024 Grand Highlander stand apart from the SUV lineup for this year. The sharp headlights, trapezoidal front grille, wider track, longer wheelbase, and strong side profile give it a more aggressive look. The rear end features a dual exhaust system and a full-width taillight. The 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander is available in various dynamic colors such as Storm Cloud, Celestial Silver Metallic, Wind Chill Pearl, Coastal Cream, Ruby Flare Pearl, Blueprint, and Midnight Black Metallic.
Interior Comfort
One of the significant complaints Toyota received about the standard Highlander was the tight fit of the third row. Toyota has rectified this issue with the Grand Highlander, which has an incredibly spacious and comfortable interior and a third row of seats large enough to accommodate grown-up adults comfortably. It offers comfortable seating for seven adults with standard second-row captain’s chairs. You can also opt for a 60/40 split second-row bench seat to accommodate eight adults.
Toyota has made the cabin spacious and fitted it with premium amenities such as leather or suede upholstered seats. The XLE is the entry-level model for the 2024 Grand Highlander, and it offers several comfort and convenience features such as heated front seats, multiple USB and power outlets throughout the cabin, bottle and cup holders, a power-operated lift gate, second-row window shades, three-zone automatic climate control, and adjustable driver and front passenger seats. Other premium features on higher trims include a heated steering wheel, a power slide/tilt panoramic roof with power sunshade, and ambient interior lighting.
Driver-Assistance and Safety Features
One of the major highlights of the 2024 Grand Highlander is Toyota’s Safety Sense 3.0. It includes seven safety features to protect drivers on all roads and conditions. These features help you spot and quickly respond to potential hazards on the streets. All trims include a standard blind-spot monitor that helps you change highway lanes and a backup camera with dynamic grid lines. Other standard safety features include full-speed range cruise control, road sign assist, lane-tracing assist, lane departure alert with steering assist, pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, proactive driving assist, and automatic high beams.
Infotainment and Connectivity
True to its name, the 2024 Grand Highlander is power packed with entertainment and connectivity features. All models feature a 12.3-inch infotainment touch screen that provides easy access to maps and music. Wireless smartphone connectivity is available via Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. You can connect your phone to stream music, attend hands-free calls, or navigate to your next destination. There’s also an available 11-speaker JBL premium audio system with subwoofer and amplifier.
