Consistent with the previous model year, hands-free power liftgate continues to come standard on all Limited and Platinum (gas and hybrid) grades.
Highlander also comes in a choice of Front-Wheel or All-Wheel Drive. There are even options within AWD drivetrains of an electronic on-demand AWD for the Hybrid grades, mechanical AWD for the gas LE and XLE grades, and Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD for the gas XSE, Limited, and Platinum grades With two highly efficient powertrains and its variety of drivetrains the 2024 Highlander can earn up to a manufacturer-estimated 36 MPG combined rating on the Hybrid (LE/FWD) and up to 29 MPG on the gas model (LE/FWD).
As part of Toyota’s diverse approach to its carbon neutrality goals, the Toyota Highlander also plays a part in Toyota’s effort to reach a “Beyond Zero” future, which is Toyota’s vision to reach carbon neutrality with products, services, and operations; and find new ways to make a positive impact on the planet and society. Toyota is demonstrating its commitment to Beyond Zero by providing 16 electrified vehicles for customers to choose from, including 12 hybrid models, two plug-in hybrid models, the bZ4X battery electric vehicle, and the zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell electric Mirai (currently available in California).
