The handsome 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander is one of the newest three-row, full-size SUVs to hit the market. With its powerful engine and standard feature-laden interior, the vehicle has certainly made a splash. Read on to learn more!
Dependable and Robust Performance
In its base form, the Grand Highlander is motivated by a turbocharged 2.4L inline-4 that has been mated to an electronically controlled 8-speed automatic transmission. Thanks to precise and intelligent distribution of the powerplant’s 265 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, drivers will be able to enjoy quick acceleration and easy passing on the highway. That substantial amount of torque also allows for a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds.
A modern suspension featuring MacPherson front struts, a multi-link rear setup, and stabilizer bars means that the Grand Highlander maintains its poise and a smooth ride quality, no matter which road you take. All trims offer a capable all-wheel drive system that provides extra confidence over slippery roads and rough terrain.
Deluxe Interior
Buyers may choose a 7- or 8-seat configuration for their Grand Highlander. The former is standard and has a pair of second-row captain’s chairs with adjustable headrests, folding armrests, and a reclining function. The dashboard is sleek and streamlined, plus there’s plenty of high-quality, soft-touch materials found throughout the cabin. Passengers in every row won’t feel cramped, as there’s generous headroom and legroom.
Amenities, such as a leather-wrapped steering wheel, retractable sunshades for the second row, and heated front seats are all standard on the base model XLE. 10-way power adjustability and lumbar support for the driver help to reduce fatigue during long road trips. Both the second and third rows fold down for an impressive total of 97.5 cubic feet of cargo space.
Top-Notch Infotainment
At the center of every Grand Highlander’s dashboard, you’ll find a 12.3-inch touchscreen that lets you take advantage of wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay integration and offers support for SiriusXM satellite radio. The infotainment system has a very responsive screen, easily navigable menus, and voice recognition. Audiophiles will be delighted with the option of an 11-speaker JBL premium sound system.
Advanced Driver Assistance
The Grand Highlander has a host of driver assists promising great peace of mind. These include standard pre-collision detection for other vehicles and pedestrians, lane departure alerts with steering assistance, and a road sign detection system. Standard adaptive cruise control maintains a safe following distance with its dynamic radar.
Another highlight is Toyota’s Proactive Driving Assist, which adds subtle braking and steering adjustments determined with the help of the vehicle’s front-facing camera and radar.
The Grand Highlander’s incredible combination of performance, comfort, and technology makes it the ideal ride for any family. Head over to Ken Ganley Toyota PA in Pleasant Hills, PA today and take it for a spin!
