Designed for outstanding performance and impressive fuel economy, the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid is an excellent option for eco-conscious families. Its greatest highlight is the hybrid technology that sets it in a league of its own compared to the vehicle's gas-only sibling. 3 Reasons the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid Excels in Hybrid Technology Two Hybrid Engine Options A rising star in the mild hybrid vehicle segment, the 2024 Grand Highlander Hybrid impresses with two powertrain choices, both designed to deliver exceptional mileage. The base Hybrid XLE comes equipped with the Highlander's standard hybrid drivetrain based on a 2.5L DOHC engine. This system delivers a net power output of 245 horsepower and 177 lb-ft combined, more than enough for spirited rides across the town. The Hybrid MAX powertrain, standard on the Hybrid MAX Limited and Hybrid MAX Platinum trim levels, pairs the electric motor with a 2.4L 4-cylinder turbo engine for a net output of 362 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque combined. The extra power pairs with an all-wheel drivetrain, offering excellent traction and handling on slippery roads and challenging terrains. Selectable Drive Modes With the Grand Highlander Hybrid, adjusting the torque distribution and performance to match your driving style or road conditions is easier than ever. In its standard FWD variant, the base trim comes with Sport, Normal, Eco, and EV drive modes. The Sport mode prioritizes gas power, whereas the Eco mode focuses mostly on fuel economy, using electric power whenever possible. The Normal mode offers balanced fuel economy and performance. A unique feature is the EV mode which allows you to use electric power alone at low speeds and for short distances, further enhancing the fuel economy. The AWD variant adds a convenient Trail mode for effortless off-roading. The Hybrid MAX models boast Normal, Eco, Sport, and Snow modes as well as a multi-terrain selection for mud, sand, rock, and dirt, offering enhanced performance on all surfaces and in all driving conditions. Gas-Like Towing Capacity Whether you're planning the ultimate family adventure or need to move your belongings across the country, the Grand Highlander Hybrid is up for the task with its outstanding towing capacity. The standard hybrid engine can pull up to 3,500 lbs, which is enough for a fully loaded 5x8 U-Haul trailer or 17-foot camper. The Hybrid MAX engine boosts the towing capacity to a maximum of 5,000 lbs, the same as its gas-powered sibling. From a four-horse trailer to a 20-foot toy hauler or a 30-foot camper, all of your light-duty towing needs are fair game. Ready to try the Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid experience on your own?

The Toyota Grand Highlander is big. It's got the interior space and cargo capacity to take you, your family, and everything you need wherever you want to go.

From Your Toyota Dealership: Meet the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Engine and Transmission Let's take a peek under the hood. The Grand Highlander gives you a choice between a gasoline engine or a hybrid powertrain. If you choose a gasoline engine, you are rewarded with a turbocharged 2.4L 4-cyl 16-valve engine that produces 265 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. It's powerful enough to go from 0 to 60 mph in 7.0 seconds, and quiet enough to almost forget it's running. If you prefer the hybrid option, you can choose between a 2.4L and a 2.5L engine. The turbocharged 2.5L 16-valve has direct injection and produces 245 hp and 175 lb-ft of torque. The turbocharged 2.4L option has 4 cylinders and 16 valves and provides you with 362 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque. FWD is standard for hybrid and non-hybrid trims, but you can also choose AWD if you prefer. Towing Towing is a breeze with the Grand Highlander when you add a trailer ball. The hybrid powertrain can easily tow up to 3,500 lbs, while the non-hybrid powertrain takes this even further to 5,000 lbs of towing capacity. Interior Space The Grand Highlander has three seat rows and can comfortably seat eight people. You also have the option to swap the second-row bench seat for two captain's chairs, allowing you even easier access to the third row. Front seating provides 41.5" of headroom and 41.7" of legroom. Second-row passengers can look forward to 40.2" of headroom and 39.5" of legroom. We all know that rear seating can seem cramped in some vehicles, but not in your Grand Highlander. Third-row passengers have enough space to stretch out with 37.2" of headroom and 33.5" of legroom. Cargo Capacity You've got the family in their seats, but what about the luggage? If all three seat rows are occupied, you have 20.6 cubic feet of space in the trunk. This extends to 57.9 cubic feet with the third row folded, and to a huge 97.5 cubic feet of space if you fold down the second seat row. Safety Features Toyota prioritizes your safety, and every Grand Highlander has the Toyota Safety Sense system installed. This system gives you road sign assist, land departure alert with steering assist, automatic high beams, and proactive driving assistance. To fully appreciate everything the Grand Highlander has to offer, you need to get behind the wheel. Book a test drive with us today at Pedersen Toyota in Fort Collins, CO.
