The 2024 Toyota Highlander is a mid-size SUV with a well-earned reputation for reliability, safety, and comfort. With three rows of seating and lots of standard driver assistance systems to keep passengers protected, it’s a favorite among families. It also comes equipped with innovative tech features for added convenience.
The Highlander’s cabin is comfortable and flexible, with standard features like a power-adjustable driver’s seat and three-zone automatic climate control with a separate control panel for the rear passengers. Its second-row comes standard as sliding and reclining bench seats, for a total seating capacity of eight. A seven-passenger configuration is also available with second-row captain’s chairs. The standard power liftgate opens with the press of a button, revealing 16.0 cu. ft. of storage in the cargo area.
A 2.4-liter turbocharged engine provides the Highlander with 265 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque, giving it up to 5,000 lbs. of towing capacity. Meanwhile, the Direct Shift 8-speed automatic transmission shifts gears to provide optimal power and efficiency, resulting in highway fuel economy of up to an EPA-estimated 29 MPG. Drivers can select Eco mode to further optimize efficiency, Sport mode for quicker acceleration, or Snow mode for improved traction.
Sporty and Stylish XSE

It’s available with Dynamic Torque Vectoring All-Wheel Drive, which can deliver power to the left and right rear wheels separately for more precise control. Outside, the XSE features 20-inch black alloy wheels, black-finish roof rails, and a black mesh front grille. Its cabin gets upgrades like SofTex-trimmed seats, a power moonroof, and ambient interior lighting.
