Toyota’s beloved mid-size SUV returns this year with top safety ratings, a comfortable cabin, and impressive tech and driver assistance features. Let’s take a look at a few of the features that make the 2024 Toyota Highlander a consistent favorite among families.

1. Blind Spot Monitor

The Highlander makes your family’s safety its top priority, with 8 airbags and a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating from the NHTSA. It also comes with numerous standard driver assistance features, including a Blind Spot Monitor that detects vehicles in the lanes next to yours and warns you so you can change lanes safely. Its Rear Cross-Traffic Alert assists when you’re backing out of a parking spot by warning you when vehicles are approaching from the left or right behind you.

2. Powerful and Efficient Engine

The Highlander balances capability and efficiency with its 2.4-liter turbocharged engine. It produces 265 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque, tows up to 5,000 lbs., and averages up to an EPA-estimated 25 MPG combined. Its Direct Shift 8-Speed Electronically Controlled Automatic Transmission is responsive and smooth, and drivers can choose to prioritize efficiency by selecting Eco mode or prioritize acceleration with Sport mode.

3. Three-Zone Automatic Climate Control

A thoughtfully designed cabin creates comfortable seating for 7 or 8 passengers, with a choice of second-row captain’s chairs or a second-row bench seat. Throughout the cabin, you’ll find 14 cup and bottle holders and 5 USB ports to keep device batteries charged up. The Highlander’s three-zone automatic climate control system ensures no one is too hot or too cold because the driver, front passenger, and rear passengers can each set their preferred temperature.

4. Remote Connect

The Highlander has lots of standard convenience features that make everyday tasks easier, like an included 1-year subscription to Remote Connect. Together with the Toyota app, this subscription turns your smartphone or smartwatch into a remote connection to your Highlander.

When the weather outside is less than ideal, you can remotely start your vehicle from your phone to warm up or cool off the cabin before you head out. You can also remotely lock your doors, locate your parked vehicle, or turn on your horn and headlights.

With these great features and so many more, the Highlander is the ultimate family SUV. To experience these features for yourself, call or stop by our showroom at Toyota of Muncie in Muncie, IN, for a test drive.
