SUV
car_truckCold morning air, a quiet street, and the subtle hum of a hybrid powertrain easing into motion—this 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid XLE in Midnight Black Metallic immediately feels composed and deliberate. Its deep, inky finish catches the light across crisp body lines and black bodyside cladding, while LED headlights and a rear lip spoiler frame a silhouette that is upscale without being flashy. Slide inside and the cabin’s soft-touch SofTex leatherette surfaces, metal-look accents, and careful lighting create an atmosphere that feels more like a modern lounge than a typical family SUV.
Under the hood, Toyota’s Dynamic Force 2.5L I-4 hybrid system works with a hybrid electric motor alternator, hybrid electric motor starter, and a nickel-metal hydride traction battery to balance efficiency with everyday usability.
Combined with CVTi-S continuously variable transmission, lock-up capability, and automatic full-time all-wheel drive, this Grand Highlander Hybrid is built for smooth commuting, confident highway cruising, and foul-weather stability. Drive Mode Select lets you tailor drivetrain behavior, while regenerative braking and auto stop-start quietly contribute to its efficient character.
Where this SUV truly separates itself is in everyday connectivity. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Wireless Android Auto are not just tacked-on conveniences; they are central to how you interact with the vehicle. The large 12.3-inch touchscreen serves as a crisp, responsive command center, turning your iPhone or Android device into an integrated extension of the dashboard without a single cable. With Apple CarPlay, you can bring your familiar iOS ecosystem directly onto the primary display—messages, Apple Music, podcasts, maps, and Siri all accessible through intuitive icons and steering wheel controls.
Voice prompts and on-screen guidance reduce the need to handle your phone, helping you keep focus where it belongs: on the road.
Android Auto integration receives equal attention. Wireless connection means your Android device syncs as you enter, populating the display with Google Maps or compatible navigation apps, streaming services, and communication tools. Speed sensitive volume ensures your calls and media remain clear as road noise changes, while Bluetooth audio streaming and pre-wiring for turn-by-turn navigation support complete the digital experience. This thoughtful integration makes it easy to move between Apple and Android users in the same household without frustration.
Beyond smartphone mirroring, the technology suite is robust. A configurable driver information center with a 7.0-inch gauge cluster display provides ECO feedback, traction battery status, and trip data at a glance.
Safety Connect and Service Connect (both with extended trial periods) offer emergency SOS, vehicle tracking, and service interval information, layered with the Toyota App and Remote Connect for mobile access to key functions, including selective service internet access and smart device remote start.
Inside, three rows of seating with heated front buckets, power-adjustable driver and front passenger seats, and flexible second- and third-row configurations create a cabin built around real family use. The 60/40 split-folding second- and third-row seats, manual recline, and fold-into-floor third row allow you to pivot quickly between passenger space and cargo capacity. With 13 beverage holders, multiple door bins, seatback pockets, and hidden cargo storage beneath a roll-up cargo cover, organizing daily essentials is straightforward and practical.
Climate management is equally considered.
Automatic dual-zone front climate control blends with a rear climate system featuring dedicated controls, rear under-seat ducts, and headliner/pillar vents to help keep all three rows comfortable. Toyota Assistant voice-activated climate control and Remote Connect climate preconditioning make it easy to adjust temperatures before you even step inside.
Safety and driver assistance are extensive and modern. The suite includes Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Curve Speed Management, Lane Tracing Assist, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and a Pre-Collision System with pedestrian and bicycle detection plus intersection support. Emergency Steering Assist, Vehicle Sway Warning, Following Distance Alert, Safe Exit Assist, and an Emergency Driving Stop System further underscore Toyota’s focus on driver and passenger protection.
Eight airbags, a rearview camera, electronic stability control, four-channel ABS, brake assist, trailer sway control, and Hill Start Assist Control round out the confidence-inspiring safety package.
With 63,018 kilometers on the odometer, this pre-owned 2024 Grand Highlander Hybrid XLE offers the refinement of a late-model SUV with the efficiency benefits of a hybrid powertrain and a deeply integrated, truly wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto experience. Finished in Midnight Black Metallic and equipped with thoughtful amenities from heated steering wheel to power liftgate, it is a well-rounded, tech-forward SUV designed to make every drive more connected, controlled, and comfortable.
