SUV
car_truckReal value is the kind you notice years later—when starts are effortless, winter roads feel routine, and the only surprise is how little attention the SUV asks of you. This pre-owned 2024 Toyota Highlander LE delivers that kind of long-haul dependability, finished in 0218 Midnight Black Metallic and built to transport families, gear, and confidence with equal ease.
Under the hood sits Toyota’s efficient 2.4‑litre turbocharged four-cylinder, tuned for a strong 264 hp and paired to an 8‑speed automatic that shifts with calm precision. It’s a powertrain that balances real-world punch with restraint, returning an estimated 11.0 L/100 km in the city and 8.4 L/100 km on the highway. Dynamic Torque Control all‑wheel drive works quietly in the background, shuffling power where it’s needed while Multi‑Terrain Select and hill‑descent control help keep momentum steady when the route turns loose, steep, or snowy.
Inside, the Highlander favors thoughtful design over flash.
Three rows welcome passengers without drama, with second- and third‑row seatbacks that fold quickly to turn school‑run space into cargo flexibility. Heated front seats take the edge off cold mornings, dual‑zone front climate keeps temperature disputes to a minimum, and separate rear controls let back‑seat passengers settle in. Storage nooks are everywhere, beverage holders abound, and five USB ports keep devices revived on long days. Road and wind noise stay politely in the background, helped by solid body sealing and compliant suspension tuning.
Technology is modern but easygoing. An 8‑inch touchscreen anchors the dash with a clean interface, while wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto mirror your phone’s best tricks without the cable clutter. Toyota’s voice assistant is on call for simple requests, and over‑the‑air update capability means the system can improve without a service visit.
Smart Key access with push‑button start streamlines entry, and remote start via connected services adds a helpful head start on hot or cold days. Safety, Service, and Remote Connect trials complete a package designed to be helpful rather than fussy.
Toyota’s driver‑assistance suite brings well‑tuned support: Full‑Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Curve Speed Management reduces the mental load on long drives; Lane Tracing Assist and Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist lend a steady hand; Automatic High Beams take care of the dim‑bright shuffle; and the Pre‑Collision System—with pedestrian and cyclist detection plus intersection support—adds an extra layer of vigilance. Emergency Steering Assist, eight airbags, stability control, and a clear rear camera round out the confidence equation, while trailer sway control helps when weekends involve more than just luggage.
With 44,039 kilometres on the odometer, this Highlander has settled into its stride.
The look is clean and purposeful on 18‑inch alloy wheels, LED lighting, and deep‑tinted glass that keeps the cabin cool and discreet. Add in the practicality of an 8‑speed drivetrain, the surefootedness of all‑wheel traction, and the efficient, low‑stress nature of Toyota’s turbo four, and you have an SUV that prioritizes what matters most: reliability you can feel, versatility you’ll use, and technology that serves without getting in the way.
