2024 Toyota Highlander
Starting at $
Highs: Abundant standard safety tech, fuel-efficient turbo four, quiet cabin with notable outward visibility.
Lows: Generic styling and the handling to match, tight third row, short on cargo space after of the last row.
Verdict: With room for eight and plenty of standard features, the 2024 Highlander delivers the basics but otherwise feels average and anonymous in a huge class filled with high-striving three-row family SUVs.
Overview
Past Toyota Highlanders have taken the shotgun approach to the mid-size SUV segment, offering myriad trims, standard and hybrid powertrains, and front- or all-wheel drive variants in order to cover the widest possible swath of buyers. The Highlander gets some relief for 2024 with the arrival of the larger 2024 Grand Highlander, which offers more third row and cargo room. This leaves the Highlander free to focus on its core mid-sized mission, which starts with dropping the base L trim from its crowded lineup and—sorry to disappoint—that’s about the extent of changes for 2024. It continues to deliver a smooth ride and acceptable handling characteristics as expected of a family-focused SUV; if it has a wild side, we’ve never experienced it. The interior is nicely equipped, again favoring useful, logical utility features above all else. The infotainment is intuitive, a host of driver-assistance features are standard, and the turbocharged four-cylinder and hybrid powertrains (reviewed separately) return decent fuel economy. The Limited and Platinum models do a good impression of a Lexus, with handsome leather upholstery, a premium JBL stereo system, and additional tech features. Still, the Highlander prioritizes middle-of-the-road sensibilities above all else. The Mazda CX-90 offers a far more stylized interior and better driving dynamics, while the Kia Telluride and the Hyundai Palisade deliver more luxury and third-row room. The Highlander, while thoroughly competent, is a less compelling alternative in comparison.
What’s New for 2024?
The updates for 2024 are minimal. The base L trim has been discontinued, but the XLE, XSE, Limited, and Platinum trims now have a standard hands-free power liftgate. Toyota replaced the V-6 with a new turbocharged four-cylinder for the 2023 model year.
