The 2024 Highlander Grand features the best from Toyota. The center console is fitted with a standard 12.3-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia system which is designed by Toyota’s Texas-based Connected Technologies team.
Users can interact with the system through intuitive touch and voice activation controls.

With Intelligent Assistant, simple phrases like “Hey Toyota” awaken the system for voice-activated commands to search for directions, find Points of Interest (POI), adjust audio controls, change the cabin temperatures, and more. Cloud Navigation, the available onboard navigation solution, utilizes the cloud to download the latest available map, traffic, and routing information. To ensure users have the most up-to-date search capabilities, POI search is provided by Google Points-of-Interest data. Destination Assist also gives access to 24/7 live agent assistance to locate the next destination.
The new Toyota Audio Multimedia allows for dual Bluetooth® phone connectivity, with support for standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. With further connectivity, the Grand Highlander has an available Wi-Fi Connect 1-month trial that offers 4G connectivity for up to five devices – turning the Grand Highlander into an AT&T Hotspot. Adding to the already robust offering of audio playback ability with HD Radio®, USB data, and a SiriusXM® Platinum Plan 3-month trial subscription, Wi-Fi Connect also enables the new Integrated Streaming feature, providing customers the ability to link their separate Apple Music® and Amazon Music subscriptions to the vehicle for onboard control.
The Grand Highlander is debuting with an available JBL Premium Audio system which comprises 11 speakers. Clari-Fi technology which is also able to breathe life into compressed digital music formats thereby enhancing the audio experience is standard on the Limited and Platinum grades.
Connect includes an Emergency Assistance Button (SOS), 24/7 Enhanced Roadside Assistance, Automatic Collision Notification, Stolen Vehicle Locator, and Collision Assistance with up to a 10-year trial. Service Connect gives drivers the ability to receive Vehicle Health Reports, Maintenance Alerts, and reminders, also with up to a 10-year trial.
With the Toyota app, users can stay connected to their Grand Highlander with a 1-year trial of the Remote Connect service. Users can activate headlights, lock/unlock the doors and remotely start the vehicle. Users can also check vehicle status, receive reminder notifications and set Guest Driver Alerts. Digital key is also standard on all grades with Remote Connect– making it easy to lock and unlock doors, remote start, and more all from a smartphone.
Ready to handle all your device charging needs, Grand Highlander is equipped with seven USB-C ports in the cabin. Up front is a wireless charger for the driver, as well as two Type-C USB ports at the bottom of the center stack plus a dedicated USB port for the front seat passenger.

Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automatic Braking is available in Limited and Platinum grades. A Panoramic View Monitor is available and provides a live rotating 360-degree view around the vehicle.
The exterior design

The exterior features a trapezoidal, hammerhead front grille, sharp rear bumper, available 20-inch wheels, and an available dual exhaust which is exclusive to the Hybrid Max powertrain.
The exterior is beautiful yet functional. Body-colored rear pillars express a certain robustness and 3rd-row utility when seen on the road, while black rockers give it that raised SUV look.
