- [Narrator] Toyota Highlander is all about
striking the right balance.
This midsize SUV offers the ideal combination
of versatility, technology, and comfort,
all wrapped in a stylish package.
For 2024, Highlander returns and doubles down
on design with the new Nightshade grade,
which is based on the LE and XLE grades
and comes standard with the efficient Toyota Hybrid System.
Together with its five core grades,
Highlander's broad lineup makes it an enticing SUV
with plenty of appeal.
It's time to take a deep dive and discover
what makes Highlander such a smart choice.
With its chiseled looks, Highlander features a bold design,
especially with its standard LED exterior lighting.
This is further enhanced by the Nightshade models,
which amplifies Highlander's style
with black-painted exterior accents and 18-inch alloy wheels
that add a nice dose of eye-catching flair
to complement its aggressive style.
For an even sportier vibe,
the XSE grade distinguishes itself
with a specific front fascia
featuring a black-painted mesh front grille,
dual-tip exhaust,
and black-painted 20-inch alloy wheels.
Meanwhile, Highlander's Limited and Platinum grades bring
an upscale touch thanks to its extensive
chrome-plated exterior accents and badges,
as well as Super Chrome-finished 20-inch wheels
for that sophisticated look and feel.
Highlander makes accessing the cargo area a breeze
thanks to the available height-adjustable power liftgate,
complementing this eye-catching style
with a healthy dose of usability.

This starts with the seating configuration,
which allows Highlander to accommodate up to eight
with the standard second-row bench seats.
On top of that, the 60/40 split fold-down second
and third-row seating brings added versatility
when it's time to fit both people and gear.
Complementing all of this practicality is comfort
that enhances every journey.
Features like standard three-zone automatic climate control,
available power-adjustable heated
and ventilated front seats,
available heated second-row captain's chairs,
and an available heated steering wheel ensure occupants
are comfortable on every drive.

When it comes to technology, Highlander delivers.
Every grade comes with the Toyota Audio Multimedia platform
with either an eight-inch touchscreen on lower grades,
or an available 12.3-inch touchscreen on higher trims.

for Apple CarPlay, which connects drivers to the apps
on their iPhone, including maps, messages, podcasts,
and music subscriptions.

makes it easy to stay connected to Android devices
and access various apps and services
from Google including YouTube Music and Google Maps.
Plus, there's a standard 3-month
SiriusXM Platinum Plan trial subscription
that includes over 165 channels available in-cabin
and even more on the SXM mobile app
making it easier than ever to enjoy not just ad-free music,
but also sports, comedy, and more.
Select grades also come with trials
to Toyota's line of connected services,
including Safety Connect, Service Connect, Remote Connect,
Wi-Fi Connect, and Drive Connect.
Additionally, an available 11-speaker
JBL Premium Audio system pumps out the tunes
with incredible clarity,
maximizing the audio multimedia experience.
Finally, five USB ports and available Qi-compatible
wireless charging keep mobile devices powered
during long stints on the road.
What's more, available features like a 12.3-inch LCD

the key driving information in the driver's line of sight,
they also give Highlander's interior a modern,
technologically advanced feel.

with Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 Plus,
which includes Pre-Collision System
with Pedestrian Detection,

Automatic High Beams,
Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control,
Lane Tracing Assist, and Road Sign Assist.
Complementing that, Blind Spot Monitor
with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert is also standard
in all grades for enhanced assistance on the road.
The added convenience and assistance don't stop there.
Highlander makes maneuvering in tight spaces easy
thanks to the available Panoramic View Monitor,
as well as the available Front and Rear Parking Assist
with Automatic Braking,
both of which add an extra layer of alertness
when driving through areas
like narrow streets and alleyways.

When it comes to performance, Highlander shines
with its refined yet efficient powertrains
and capable all-wheel drive systems.
Gas grades are powered
by a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine,
which produces a healthy 265 horsepower
and 310 pound-feet of torque.
Meanwhile, Highlander Hybrid Electric Vehicle
uses a 2.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid EV system
with 243 net combined horsepower.
For even more capability
Dynamic Torque Vectoring All-Wheel Drive
is available on select grades,
enhancing Highlander's capability in conditions
that require additional traction.
Plus, it comes with the available
Multi-Terrain Select system,
allowing drivers to tailor Highlander's performance
based on the road surface it's driven on.
On the other hand, Highlander Hybrid EV can be equipped
with Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive,
which adds an additional electric motor to the rear axle,
resulting in enhanced grip when road conditions require it,
and improved handling on dry pavement.
Additionally, a Trail drive mode helps
ensure Highlander Hybrid EV can get past,
rough and bumpy roads.
For drivers in search of a sharper driving experience,
Highlander XSE provides just that
thanks to its standard sport-tuned suspension.
What's more, Highlander can tow up to 3,500 pounds
in its hybrid EV grades,
and 5,000 pounds in its gas grades,
giving it an extra layer of capability
for bringing along gear on those epic family trips.
Best of all, Highlander's efficiency impresses
with up to an EPA-estimated 25 miles per gallon combined
on gas grades, or up to an EPA-estimated 36 miles per gallon
combined in hybrid EV grades,
ensuring that fuel stops are few and far between.
