#Toyota #grandhighlander #hybrid

Toyota's newest large 3-row #crossover is the Grand Highlander. Here I test out the impressive capabilities of the hybrid powertrain in beautiful Kona, Hawaii.

The 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander is
hitting dealerships this summer as the latest and greatest addition to the successful SUV lineup for
Toyota. Available in three powertrains across three grades: the well-balanced 2.4L turbo gas
engine, the efficient 2.5L hybrid and the ultimate performance-seeking, 362 horsepower Hybrid
MAX, the Grand Highlander is perfectly packaged for the road trip ahead.
Designed by Calty Design Studios and exclusively assembled at the Toyota Motor Manufacturing
plant in Princeton, Indiana, the 2024 Grand Highlander will have a starting MSRP of $43,070 for the
gas engine models, $44,670 for the hybrid and $54,040 for the Hybrid MAX powertrain when it hits
dealerships this Summer.
“Grand Highlander will serve as the ultimate tool that can take our customers anywhere from the
school pick-up line to the ultimate long-weekend road trip,” said Lisa Materazzo, Group Vice
President of Toyota Marketing. “We’ve sold over 3.3 million Highlanders in the U.S. and developed
a loyal customer base in the process – and we think customers will give Grand Highlander similar
praise when it comes to dealerships this Summer.”
As part of Toyota’s diverse approach to its carbon neutrality goals, Grand Highlander Hybrid and
Hybrid MAX are two additional products that support Toyota’s effort to reach a “Beyond Zero”
future. Beyond Zero is Toyota’s vision to reach carbon neutrality with products, services, and
operations; and find new ways to make a positive impact on the planet and society.
Toyota is demonstrating its commitment to reducing carbon emissions by providing 15 electrified
vehicles for customers to choose from, including 11 hybrid models, two plug-in hybrid models, the
bZ4X battery electric vehicle, and the zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell electric Mirai (currently
available in California). Toyota currently offers more low and zero emissions vehicles than any
other automaker to give customers the most choice to reduce their carbon footprint.
Three Powertrains Across Three Grades
When it comes to deciding between performance or efficiency, Toyota offers both in the first-ever
Grand Highlander. The gas engine has 265 horsepower and a 0-60 time of 7.5 seconds; the hybrid
powertrain has 243 horsepower and a 0-60 time of 8.6 seconds; and last, but certainly not least,
the Hybrid MAX powertrain makes Grand Highlander the most powerful Midsize SUV Toyota has
ever built, with an impressive performance off the line thanks to 362-horsepower, 400 pound feet
of torque and a 0-60 time of 6.3 seconds. The Hybrid MAX powertrain also has 5,000 lbs. of towing
capacity.
As far as efficiency goes, the gas powertrain has an EPA-estimated 24 combined MPG for XLE
FWD; the hybrid an EPA-estimated 36 combined MPG for the XLE FWD and the HYBRID MAX with
an EPA-estimated 27 combined MPG.
All three powertrains come with three Drive Modes (Sport, Eco, Normal) to make driving more
engaging – while Multi-Terrain Select with three modes (Mud & Sand, Rock & Dirt, Snow) is offered
on the gas AWD and Hybrid MAX powertrains for even more on and off-road capability.
