Toyota has added an all-new and all-different midsize SUV to its family of modern cruisers. The 2024 Grand Highlander delivers all-action powertrain options, more passenger space and an array of in-cabin tech capacities for daily driving and family road trips.

"There is definitely a need in the market for a mid-size SUV that prioritizes interior comfort in all three rows and Grand Highlander is the ultimate option," said Lisa Materazzo, vice president of Toyota.

"This 3-row model takes the Highlander legacy to an entirely new space while also keeping our promise to deliver on electrification. Highlander was the first model in its segment to offer a hybrid powertrain back in 2006 and Grand Highlander further expands our electrification leadership."

Under the Hood

Encased in the gas-only option for the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander is a 2.4-liter turbocharged base engine. The mid-level powertrain is a 2.5-liter hybrid with a manufacturer-estimated 34 mpg combined rating.

Hybrid MAX rounds up the powertrain list offering 362 hp and 400 Ib-ft of torque. With the Hybrid Max powertrain, the Grand Highlander is expected to become the most powerful mid-size SUV with a 6.3-second 0 to 60 mph time.

Comfort and Convenience

A 12.3-inch multimedia display houses a center console with a wireless charger, two USB ports, three cup holders and a tablet tray.

The SUV offers a roomy layout with enough space for seven carry-on suitcases behind a spacious adult-sized third row, totaling 98 cubic feet with the seats folded down.

Unlike its predecessors, passengers relegated to the third row have individual USB ports, smartphone/tablet storage areas and two cup holders.

Safety

All 2024 Grand Highlander models will feature the latest Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 advanced driver assistance systems.

Features include:

  • Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
  • Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
  • Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
  • Lane Tracing Assist
  • Automatic High Beams
  • Proactive Driving Assist
