car_truckBorn from a long line of family-ready, all-weather Toyotas, this 2024 Highlander Platinum AWD carries that legacy forward with a thoroughly modern twist. Dressed in elegant Wind Chill Pearl, it blends the familiar confidence of Toyota engineering with a cabin and technology suite that feel distinctly next-generation. With just 31,352 kilometres on the odometer and a Platinum badge on the tailgate, this pre-owned SUV delivers a refined balance of power, comfort, and digital connectivity tailored to real-world daily life.
Under the hood, a 2.4L intercooled turbocharged I-4 engine delivers 264 horsepower, paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission and Dynamic Torque Vectoring AWD. This combination is tuned for confident acceleration, smooth highway cruising, and reassuring traction in changing conditions. Multi-Terrain Select drive modes and hill descent control help you adapt to varied surfaces, while four-wheel disc brakes with ABS and brake assist contribute to composed, predictable stopping power.
Despite its capability, the Highlander remains efficient, with rated fuel consumption of 11.0 L/100 km in the city and 8.4 L/100 km on the highway on regular unleaded fuel.
Inside, the Highlander Platinum focuses on comfort and thoughtful usability. Three rows of seating with manual reclining and fore/aft adjustment in the second and third rows allow you to tailor passenger and cargo arrangements, supported by 60/40 folding second- and third-row seatbacks. Leather upholstery in both front and rear rows, heated and ventilated front seats, and a heated steering wheel work together to keep the cabin inviting across all seasons. Dual-zone front climate control, separate rear climate controls, and dedicated rear ducts help ensure passengers throughout the cabin stay comfortable.
The technology suite is anchored by a 12.3-inch primary touchscreen display and configurable instrumentation, but what truly sets this Highlander apart is the seamless integration of your smartphone life.
Wireless Apple CarPlay is a central strength here, turning the main display into an intuitive extension of your iPhone without the clutter of cables. Once paired, you can access your familiar apps directly from the large touchscreen—Apple Maps for navigation, your preferred music and podcast services, and hands-free calling and messaging—all with Siri voice control and steering-wheel-mounted commands. The interface is designed to feel natural even for first-time users, turning long drives into organized, connected experiences rather than juggling between screens.
Equally important, wireless Android Auto provides a similarly polished experience for Android users. The Highlander’s system mirrors key apps from your Android smartphone onto the main display, giving you Google Maps or other supported navigation, your favorite streaming services, and messaging access while keeping your phone safely tucked away.
Voice commands make it simple to search for destinations, manage playlists, or send messages without distraction. Together, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wireless mirroring ensure every driver and passenger can bring their digital ecosystem into the vehicle cleanly and conveniently, no matter which platform they prefer.
Audio and connectivity support these interfaces with substance, not just surface-level features. A JBL premium sound system with 11 speakers, a powerful 1200W amplifier, and Clari-Fi digital signal processing provides rich, clear playback for music and media. With five USB ports distributed through the cabin, Qi wireless charging up front, and two 12V outlets plus a 120V AC power outlet, devices for all three rows can stay powered. Real-time traffic and weather information, Drive Connect Cloud Navigation with Destination Assist, Toyota Assistant for voice-activated audio and climate control, and over-the-air update capability add layers of intelligence to everyday driving.
This Highlander Platinum pairs its technology with an extensive safety and driver-assistance suite.
Toyota Safety Sense includes a Pre-Collision System with pedestrian and bicycle detection (daytime & low-light), intersection support with left turn assist, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Lane Tracing Assist, and Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Curve Speed Management. Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross Traffic Brake, Vehicle Sway Warning, Emergency Steering Assist, and trailer sway control further support confidence on busy roads and during longer trips. Eight airbags, including second- and third-row overhead coverage, along with advanced stability and traction systems, round out its protective capabilities.
Practical touches are everywhere: a power liftgate with proximity cargo access, roll-up cargo cover, cargo tie-downs, concealed storage, roof rails, and a compact spare provide flexibility day-to-day. The panoramic-style glass sunroof with express open/close, ambient lighting, and high-quality interior finishes—leather steering wheel, simulated wood and metal-look accents—add an upscale feel without sacrificing the straightforward usability Toyota is known for.
For drivers who value a strong heritage of reliability but demand modern connectivity led by robust wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, this 2024 Highlander Platinum AWD presents a compelling, well-rounded SUV solution.
