Sleek and Modern Design

The new Toyota Highlander sports a sleeker, more aerodynamic design compared to its predecessors. The front fascia features a bold grille, accented by slim, angular LED headlights that give it a sharper, more modern look. The clean lines and muscular curves on the body offer a mix of style and functionality, improving both aesthetics and fuel efficiency. The new Highlander is available in a variety of trims, each offering unique features, from stylish chrome accents to rugged roof rails and larger wheels on the higher-end trims.

Spacious and Comfortable Interior

One of the Highlander’s most appealing traits is its roomy and comfortable interior. The all-new model enhances this with more refined materials, soft-touch surfaces, and an intuitive layout. The Highlander comfortably seats up to eight passengers, with ample legroom in all three rows. The second-row bench can be replaced with captain’s chairs in higher trims, creating a more luxurious and spacious feel.

The cargo space is generous, and with the third row folded down, it provides even more room for larger items. The addition of a hands-free power liftgate adds to the convenience, making loading and unloading easier, especially for families on the go.

Tech-Savvy and Connected

The 2024 Toyota Highlander comes equipped with a wealth of modern technology to enhance both safety and entertainment. A large 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system is standard in most trims, with support for Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa. The system is user-friendly and intuitive, ensuring drivers and passengers can easily access their favorite apps and media.

Toyota’s latest safety suite, Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+, comes standard, offering advanced driver-assist features such as adaptive cruise control, lane departure alert with steering assist, pre-collision warning with pedestrian detection, and more. These features make the Highlander a top choice for families seeking peace of mind on the road.

Performance and Efficiency

The new Toyota Highlander offers multiple powertrain options, including a fuel-efficient hybrid model. The standard 3.5-liter V6 engine delivers 295 horsepower, providing a smooth and responsive drive both in the city and on the highway. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, the Highlander strikes a great balance between power and efficiency.

For those seeking better fuel economy, the hybrid model, powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and electric motors, achieves impressive gas mileage without sacrificing performance. The Highlander Hybrid is an excellent choice for eco-conscious buyers looking to save at the pump without compromising on space or features.

Surprising Pricing

What makes the all-new Toyota Highlander stand out even more is its competitive pricing. The base model starts at around $38,000, offering excellent value for a mid-size SUV with so many standard features. Even the hybrid version, with its superior fuel economy, starts at just under $41,000, making it an attractive option for those who want to go green without breaking the bank.

Higher trims, such as the XLE and Platinum, offer luxurious amenities like leather seats, a panoramic moonroof, and a premium sound system, while still keeping prices reasonable compared to competitors.
