In the last two decades, Canadian car buyers have become less interested in minivans. However, the demand for vehicles with three rows of seats and ample cargo space remains strong.
The 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander is Toyota’s newest addition to the three-row vehicle category, positioned between the Sequoia and the well-liked, but smaller Highlander.
The Grand Highlander is equipped with various family-friendly features and advanced safety technology. This includes 13 cupholders, spacious storage cubbies, and seven USB-C ports.
The Grand Highlander truly stands out in its class due to its wide range of powertrain options. With both hybrid and gas models available, it offers more versatility compared to competitors.
The first option is the gas-only model, which features a 265-hp turbocharged 2.4L four-cylinder engine. It is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and is projected to have a respectable combined fuel efficiency of 10 L/100 km.
If you want a Hybrid Grand Highlander the Platinum Trim level offers the Hybrid Max powertrain. This version combines a turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a hybrid (gas-electric) system, resulting in a powerful 362 horsepower.
The fuel efficiency for this model is estimated to be around 8.8 litres per 100 kilometres, and it comes equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission.
Toyota has tried to strike a balance between the luxuriousness of the Toyota Sequoia or Lexus alternatives. The design is clever and user-friendly.
The Grand Highlander does offer a generous range of standard features, such as power and heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a wireless phone charger, support for wireless smartphone projection, rear sunshades, a power liftgate, and Toyota Safety Sense 3.0.
Higher-trim-level models come with additional perks like a panoramic sunroof, climate-controlled second-row seats, a digital gauge cluster, a head-up display, and a rear-view mirror display.
The main advantage of the Grand Highlander is how much space it has. The third row offers plenty of room, even for adults, and there are steps and hand grips to make accessing the third row easier.
When the third row is folded down, there is a massive 1,640 litres of space available. In total, with all the seats folded, the crossover offers 2,761 litres of space.
Toyota 12.3-inch infotainment special is visually appealing and user-friendly. The wireless smartphone projection feature works flawlessly, and your family will love experimenting with Toyota’s digital assistant.
By simply saying “Hey, Toyota,” you are able to perform various tasks such as telling jokes, adjusting HVAC settings, activating the windshield wipers, and more.
Additionally, there is another 12.3-inch screen available as a digital cluster, offering different themes to add some excitement to the experience.
Toyota, known for its reputation, understands its audience, as evident from the popularity of the original Highlander.
The Grand Highlander offers the spaciousness of a minivan, combined with the fuel efficiency of a compact crossover. It also boasts a powerful engine and an impressive infotainment system.
What’s even more appealing is that Toyota is not charging a hefty premium for this combination. This makes the Grand Highlander a reliable and attractive choice in its segment.
