The 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Is All About the Five C's

The Grand Highlander is a midsize SUV that provides you with all the reliability you've come to expect from a Toyota, whether you're going down the street or heading off on a camping trip with the whole family. Continue reading to learn more about the five C's of the Grand Highlander: comfort, cargo, capacity, connectivity, and crash protection.

Comfort

The 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander has a maximum seating capacity of eight passengers, including a third row that can comfortably fit up to three adults. The Grand Highlander is wider and longer than previous models, which means you have more legroom than before at 33.5 inches of space.

And since we know everyone will want to drive your new Highlander, you'll enjoy the ten-way memory driver's seat, which finds the right settings for you with the touch of a button. Passengers can also enjoy customization with eight-way adjustable seats. Depending on the trim you choose, your new Grand Highlander will come with synthetic or genuine leather seats. You can also choose captain's chairs for the second row.

With three-zone climate control, every passenger in the vehicle will feel comfortable, and you can also choose heated or ventilated seats for the first and second rows. Speaking of comfort, the athletes in your family will easily stay hydrated after the game with 13 available cup holders, including extra large holders for the biggest tumblers.

Cargo & Capacity

The Grand Highlander offers three rows of comfort, but what about cargo space? With the second and third rows up, there is almost 21 cu.ft. of cargo space. With that much space, you can easily fit seven carry-on suitcases behind the third row. With both rows folded down, you have close to 98 cu.ft. to haul everything you need.

Of course, with so much room for cargo, you'll need the passengers to go with it. You can fit up to eight people in the Grand Highlander, depending on if you choose a bench seat or captain's chairs for the second row.

Connectivity

Drivers and passengers alike will enjoy easy connectivity from every seat in the vehicle. For you and your front passenger, the Grand Highlander offers a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment center and a 7.0-inch digital gauge cluster. You can utilize this interface through touch or voice commands. When connected to Drive Connect, you and your passengers also have access to Intelligent Assistant, Cloud Navigation, and Destination Assist; conducting this system is as simple as saying, "Hey, Toyota."

Available voice commands let you change the temperature or music or ask for directions. If issues arise, Destination Assist comes with 24/7 live support. The Grand Highlander also features connectivity to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There is also a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot for up to five devices, HD Radio, SiriusXM, and an integrated streaming system that links to Apple or Amazon music. With so many options, everyone in tow will enjoy road-tripping in your new vehicle.

The front row isn't the only place where connectivity shines. There are conveniences for the second and third rows as well. From an area for smartphone and tablet storage to multiple USB ports, passengers can keep their technology charged and organized.

When you purchase your new Grand Highlander, you get a one-year trial of the Toyota Remote Connect system through the Toyota app. This system lets you remote start your car, turn on the headlights, or lock and unlock the doors. You can also set alert reminders to keep on top of your to-do list.

Crash Protection

The advanced connectivity of the 2024 Grand Highlander goes beyond the perks listed above and increases safety for you and your passengers through Safety Connect. This system helps drivers with an Emergency Assistance Button (SOS), 24/7 Enhanced Roadside Assistance, Automatic Collision Notification, Stolen Vehicle Locator, and Collision Assistance with up to a ten-year trial.

Other crash protection services provided by Toyota's Safety Sense 3.0 include automated emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, automatic high-beam headlamps, and a road-sign recognition system. The Safety Sense suite also helps you identify pedestrians in your lane and keep the vehicle in its lane by alerting you when you stray to one side or another.

Beyond the Five C's

Not only is the Grand Highlander spacious and accommodating, but it offers three different powertrain options. You can choose the 2.4L turbo gas engine or the 2.5L hybrid option in front-wheel or all-wheel drive. The third option, also available in front-wheel and all-wheel drive, offers you the most powerful engine Toyota has ever designed. The Hybrid Max powertrain produces 362 hp via a combined 2.4L turbocharged engine and electric motor; this option makes the Grand Highlander one of the fastest SUVs in its class, allowing it to go from zero to sixty in just 6.3 seconds.

Additionally, it has 5,000 lbs of towing capacity, making it ideal for families who like to go on outdoor activities or who need to haul a trailer for work. Thanks to its sophisticated suspension tuning and handling, the ride can be smooth and comfortable no matter the terrain. Speaking of which, the all-wheel drive system provides excellent stability and traction. When using Multi-Terrain Select, you can take your drive to the next level, choosing between Mud & Sand, Rock & Dirt, and Snow modes.
