Eco-Friendly and Family-Friendly: The 2024 Toyota Highlander

Having kids can change everything about how parents approach the buying choices in front of them. And when a choice has the chance to both keep their family safe and make the world those children will inherit a little bit brighter, most parents jump at the chance. Enter the 2024 Toyota Highlander: an SUV that’s good for families and for the environment. Here’s what to know.

Eco-Friendly and Family-Friendly: The 2024 Toyota Highlander

Powerful and Capable

A modern SUV needs to pair the muscle to get everyone where they’re going with the space for everyone and all their bags. The 2024 Highlander offers both. Conventional combustion Highlanders offer up to 265 horsepower and up to 310 lb-ft of torque, while hybrid editions offer 243 combined net horsepower. That makes either powertrain competitive in the daily rat race and a joy to drive on weekend getaways.

As for space, the Highlander’s got plenty. Tall teens will approve of the roomy second row that offers over 38 inches of legroom. And with over 48 cubic feet of cargo capacity with the third bench folded, there’s loads of room for everyone’s bags, toys, and instruments. Bringing along a boat or camper is easy with the Highlander, with hybrid models offering up to 3,500 pounds of towing capability and conventionally powered models capable of towing up to 5,000 pounds.

Earns an A in Safety

Every parent worries for their kids’ safety sometimes. But the 2024 Highlander offers families plenty of peace of mind. The standard Toyota SafetySense 2.5+ suite comes standard with Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Tracing Assist, and Automatic High Beams. The Highlander also comes with up to a 10-year trial of Toyota’s Safety Connect system, including Emergency SOS Assistance and 24/7 Roadside Assistance.

Add in the Highlander’s excellent crash safety ratings, and you have an SUV worthy of a Top Safety Pick designation from the IIHS.

Excellent Efficiency

With the 2024 Highlander’s hybrid trims, families can choose an SUV that reduces their carbon footprint and saves money on fuel at the same time. The Highlander hybrids offer a fuel economy of up to 35 mpg combined and emissions are rated SULEV-30, helping keep the air cleaner for everyone. Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive is available for Highlander hybrids, enabling families to embrace adventure and enjoy increased confidence on slippery roads.

Tech for All

In the 2024 Highlander, the back seat doesn’t have to turn into a free-for-all. Three-zone automatic climate control comes standard to help everyone on board keep their cool. Activate a Wi-Fi Connect subscription or trial and the Highlander becomes a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, connecting up to 5 devices to games, streaming, and more. Five USB ports and two 12-volt outlets can keep everyone’s devices juiced up.
