The new 2024 Toyota is bigger, bolder and more practical than the regular Highlander. Instead of simply making a longer version of the regular Highlander, this is one of the most modern Toyota SUV models on the market. Here are six great features that could make the new Toyota Grand Highlander the person you want to drive.
1. The 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander is luxurious with platinum trim
When leather with faux suede inserts is the right trim, the Grand Highlander’s Platinum trim is just the thing. This is the only trim with this combination of luxury upholstery for your driving pleasure. Of course, the Platinum trim also means you’ll get the most powerful Hybrid Max powertrain in the Toyota SUV you drive.
. The entry-level XLE trim has analog gauges on a 7.0-inch screen, while the Limited and Platinum trims offer something more. That little something extra is a large 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster that displays all-digital configurable gauges for your driving desires.
3. Does the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander keep some things simple?
This new three-row Toyota SUV does something better in a world where new vehicles continue to do away with physical knobs and buttons. You’ll find a full bank of physical knobs and buttons meant to offer the desired controls for the climate and audio systems.
4. The Grand Highlander may be the most luxurious of Toyota’s SUV models
Like many SUVs, the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander has a way of achieving levels of luxury driving. The platinum trim offers features and qualities you might only expect to find in a Lexus vehicle. This superior trim includes attractive trim elements, eye-catching finishes, soft-touch surfaces, and smooth-grain plastic. These qualities might leave the Grand Highlander Platinum falling short of your expectations of a Lexus, but they’re pretty close.
5. This large Toyota SUV is equipped with heated and ventilated second row seats
The regular Toyota Highlander offers heated second row seats, but they don’t include a cooling feature. The new Grand Highlander features heated and ventilated captain’s seats in the second row to offer passengers greater comfort. This means that passengers in these seats can heat and cool their sandwiches while driving. Of course, as with any other high-end feature, these seats are reserved for the Platinum trim.
6. A sliding console cover in this Toyota SUV; what a brilliant idea
The console cover in most vehicles, including other Toyota SUV models, pops open. This can get in the way of arms trying to rest in the area. The new 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander features a sliding center console cover that opens easily without disrupting the qualities of the armrest.
Bonus: The 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander offers third row convenience
tells us those relegated to the third row of this Toyota SUV won’t mind sitting in this area. Outboard passengers have side compartments with room for two cups, their smartphones and individual USB-C charging ports.
Are these great features enough to put the new Grand Highlander on your shortlist?
