2024 Toyota Highlander - Three-Row Family Friendly SUV!

Thanks: CarsPlus

2024 Toyota Highlander
Starting at $40.665

Highs: Abundant standard safety tech, fuel-sipping hybrid powertrain option, quiet cabin with notable outward visibility.
Lows: Generic styling and the handling to match, tight third row, short on cargo space after of the last row.
Verdict: With room for eight, an available hybrid powertrain, and plenty of standard features, the 2024 Highlander delivers the basics but otherwise feels average and anonymous in a huge class filled with high-striving three-row family SUVs.

Overview
Past Toyota Highlanders have taken the shotgun approach to the mid-size SUV segment, offering myriad trims, standard and hybrid powertrains, and front- or all-wheel drive variants in order to cover the widest possible swath of buyers. The Highlander gets some relief for 2024 with the arrival of the larger 2024 Grand Highlander, which offers more third row and cargo room. This leaves the Highlander free to focus on its core mid-sized mission, which starts with dropping the base L trim from its crowded lineup and—sorry to disappoint—that’s about the extent of changes for 2024. It continues to deliver a smooth ride and acceptable handling characteristics as expected of a family-focused SUV; if it has a wild side, we’ve never experienced it. The interior is nicely equipped, again favoring useful, logical utility features above all else. The infotainment is intuitive, a host of driver-assistance features are standard, and the turbocharged four-cylinder and hybrid powertrains return decent fuel economy. The Limited and Platinum models do a good impression of a Lexus, with handsome leather upholstery, a premium JBL stereo system, and additional tech features. Still, the Highlander prioritizes middle-of-the-road sensibilities above all else. The Mazda CX-90 offers a far more stylized interior and better driving dynamics, while the Kia Telluride and the Hyundai Palisade deliver more luxury and third-row room. The Highlander, while thoroughly competent, is a less compelling alternative in comparison.

What's New for 2024?

The updates for 2024 are minimal. The base L trim has been discontinued, as are the Bronze editions of the Hybrid and Hybrid XLE. In their place are LE Nightshade and XLE Nightshade trims of the hybrid model. Additionally, the XLE, XSE, Limited, and Platinum trims now have a standard hands-free power liftgate. Toyota replaced the V-6 with a new turbocharged four-cylinder for the 2023 model year.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

The 2024 Highlander offers buyers a choice of a traditional gasoline or hybrid powertrain. The gas version uses a 265-hp turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and either front- or all-wheel drive. So equipped, our drivers coaxed an all-wheel drive version from zero to sixty mph in an unhurried 7.2 seconds. The Highlander Hybrid employs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder and two electric motors for a combined 243 horsepower. The hybrid uses a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and offers a choice between front- and all-wheel drive. Though considerably more fuel-efficient, the Highlander Hybrid keeps pace with the gas car, trailing it by just one-tenth of a second in the 0-60 mph run. Both versions provide the stable and predictable ride and handling characteristics preferred for family chauffeur duty. ...

I wish US versions had the same headlight design. I saw some on ebay as replacement, seem like they would be perfect fit but not sure of quality. I have a US limited version of Highlander

Оптика супер. Плохо нет вентиляции сидений

I don't like the dark color interior. The driver seat was cool. Man left the SUV empty. And the twitch in time when he checks out the rear.

Bella vettura, robusta un vero 4x4, però ha una pecca, non condivido la scelta della casa madre Toyota, di li limitare la velocità massima a KMH 180, trovo assurdo avere un 2500 di CC + elettrico + etc etc, e ritrovarmi una gran macchina limitata a 180 KMH, mi sembra tutte le macchine sia termiche, che non termiche, più aumenti l'andatura + consumano .
