    I have a 2024 Grand Highlander Hybrid Limited AWD w/pano sunroof, 360 bird’s eye camera triple black. Traded in a 22 Sienna Hybrid for it. It has surpassed all of my criteria, gets 29mpg, plenty of power, looks great, not as roomy as the Sienna but it’s not a minivan!!! Definitely a great vehicle-highly recommend!!!

    I agreed with your trim recommendation until I bought that exact trim (XLE Hybrid AWD). The biggest issue is that it lacks any sort of parking sensors, meaning you'll have no idea when that massive front hood is going to bump into your garage or the car parked in front of you. Another major gripe is the lack of seat memory if you often switch drivers. Other then that, the XLE Hybrid has been an excellent choice 2k miles in.

    We reserved the Toyota Grand Highlander Platinum Edition because my husband had a lot of problems with the battery in the hybrid's of the other Toyotas that we have owned. We have had a Highlander Limited Edition gas model and two Prius Hybrids. They had the hybrid of gas and battery in them, and with the two of our Prius models, we had to replace the batteries 6 times. Four on one and two on the other, so he was very hesitant to get another hybrid. So, we have ordered the Platinum model in the red color ( I forgot the name of the color😅) with the black interior. I wanted the brown but could not find that anywhere. So, we are currently waiting for ours to get to our dealership. In the meantime, my husband had also bought a Red Toyota Tundra! He absolutely loves it! It was the Limited Edition and came fully loaded. So, we are definitely a Toyota family! Also, do you recommend mud flaps for that car. We were not able to order one with the features that we wanted so I would have to buy them and have them installed. What do you think? Last thing, I can't drive right now but maybe I will be able to in the future. It is due to health issues. So, how did you like the safety features? I don't like the fact that it stops for you. You did say that you could turn that part off right? How about the other safety features? I didn't get the chance to drive it so I didn't get the chance to test out those functions. I would really like to hear your opinions on the different ones. We bought the Grand Highlander because we absolutely loved our Highlander which we bought in 2015 and I wanted more room and safety features that we did not have in the other cars. Our Highlander was in excellent condition and our daughter and son-in-law needed a newer car so we sold ours to them. They have two little girls and one more on the way! They really love it! Anyway, I really appreciated your review and I would love to hear more about the safety features! Have a wonderful day and God bless you and your beautiful family! ❤

    I think it looks really nice. I like the idea of all that torque in a big family car - but as a van fan, I still laugh at the cargo room behind the 3rd row of 3 row SUV’s.
    If you don’t need to tow, the Sienna is the way to go for family hauling imo.
    And yes I know the Sienna is funny looking, but it’s growing on me. Perhaps they’ll restyle it to a more angular look someday - I’m curious to see what they do.

    Gorgeous color combination. I love this in white. I'd be more interested in the hybrid version though. Really wish Toyota would eventually give their regular hybrids a bit more power. I'm not sure how 243 HP would handle a family and their belongings on a trip in this new Grand Highlander but, I heard that the Sienna struggles. I would LOVE to see a Prime version of this with at least 315 HP, an EV only range of 30 - 35 miles, second row bench seat (but wouldn't mind captain's chairs due to possible battery placement), harvest beige interior color option, and a 1500W inverter in the rear by the lift gate. If Toyota made a version like that then I'd be all over it.

      @Jonathan-mp7xg having owned the '16, '20, '22 and now the 2023 model years of the highlander i can whole heartedly say the v6 was trash. It sounded rough, would leak oil on the back of the passenger side of the engine, was not fuel efficient and felt like i had to rev the engine high to get decent power out of it. weather turbos are reliable or not is not important. there will always be something that does wrong on the engine even when your maintain it and change your oil every 5k. id rather be happy with a turbo 4 while its working than be underwhelmed and jerking my passengers around because the v6 has to drop gears and rev high just to get around. Frankly sometime the v6 felt like my old 1999 corolla with a 4 speed transmission

    There is a reason why Kia/Hyundai became so popular can be found here with the aging infrastructure of Toyota. They are stuck in the 80s and continue to refuse to change their sauce/formulas on reusing the cheap plastic-filled fuel injection models. Good job Toyota for keep making other competitors shine each new car generation cycle.

    I always suspected the rav4 deisgn was meant for the next gen highlander seeying how this is the next step from the third gen. But toyota used us as guiny pigs and experiemented with a dif highlander design, a more curvy femine luxurious look which was either hated or loved. But believe me, mostly hated.
    Rav 4 was given the redesign to boost sales and succeeded, and now we are guving the huglander the same duplicate design everyone expected. But it feels warned down now, is not special weve seen it for almost 5 years on the rav4 so by now we just see a blowned up version rav4. So yeah last i heard toyota doesnt include engine autostart from key fob, you have to pay for the app which is bullshit. Toyota has gotten weird with their content. Dont even get me started on the failure of space and layout that is the new sequoia.
