How much does the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander cost?

Is the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander a good car?

Yes — the 5/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction, and the expert score is 8/10. The Grand Highlander also earns 9/10 for Look and feel, 6/10 for Performance, 9/10 for Form and function, 8/10 for Cost effectiveness, 7/10 for Technology, and 9/10 for Safety.

The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Form and function, and Safety.

You get a bigger three-row crossover with extra space, plenty of cargo room, and multiple powertrain choices, including two hybrid options. The trade-off is that the ride and handling are not as polished as some rivals, and the tech setup leans on subscriptions more than you may want.

Good and great deals account for 35.5% of listings, so there is meaningful room to shop selectively.

Is the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction. The Grand Highlander is presented as a Toyota built around practicality and a reputation for reliability, and the expert review also says the interior looks like it will hold up well over time.

The performance notes point to solid brakes, adequate acceleration, and a powertrain lineup that gives you choices between efficiency and stronger output. The cost-effectiveness notes also emphasize better-than-expected fuel economy across the lineup, which can help reduce day-to-day ownership strain.

Toyota also includes standard maintenance-friendly ownership value through its broad efficiency focus, and the standard equipment list is generous for the class. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about basic durability and more about whether the tech and trim features still suit your needs as the vehicle ages.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you are comparing higher-mileage examples or trims with more equipment. Focus on overall condition, interior wear, and whether the tech and convenience features work the way you expect.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The XLE uses Softex synthetic leather, while the Limited and Platinum upgrade to real leather. The XLE also gets a 10-way power driver seat, an eight-way front passenger seat, and heated front seats, while the higher trims add ventilation and a heated steering wheel.
• Powertrain: You can choose from a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 265 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, a 2.5-liter hybrid with 245 combined net horsepower, or the Hybrid Max with 362 combined net horsepower and 400 combined net lb-ft of torque. The Hybrid Max is the quickest, with a zero-to-60 time of 6.3 seconds.
• Safety package: Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 includes automatic emergency braking, lane-departure alert with steering assist, lane-tracing assist, road-sign recognition, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control with four following-distance settings.
• Infotainment: Every model gets a 12.3-inch touchscreen, standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual-device Bluetooth connectivity, and available connected-services features such as voice assistant, cloud navigation, and live agent assistance.
• Fuel efficiency: Gas FWD models return 21 mpg city, 28 highway, and 24 combined; AWD gas models return 21/27/23 on the XLE and 20/26/22 on the Limited and Platinum. The hybrid XLE returns 36/32/34, the Hybrid Limited with AWD returns 35/21/33, and the Hybrid Max returns 26/27/27.

Which 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander trim should I buy?

The 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander is offered in 3 trim levels: XLE, Limited, and Platinum.

Here's the short version:

• XLE: This is the best-value starting point because it already gives you the Grand Highlander’s core strengths: lots of space, standard heated front seats, a power driver seat, Softex upholstery, and the full Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 suite. If you want the most affordable way into the model without giving up the essentials, this is the trim to start with.
• Limited: This trim is the sweet spot if you want a more upscale cabin and more comfort. It adds real leather, ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and the JBL audio system, making it a stronger pick if you plan to spend a lot of time in the vehicle.
• Platinum: Choose this if you want the most premium version and are willing to pay for it. It builds on the Limited with the top-end presentation and can be equipped with Portobello upholstery when paired with the top-spec engine.

Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 is standard across the lineup, so you do not need to move up a trim just to get the core driver-assistance package.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you stay patient and compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 35.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,699 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.65% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 91.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $44,060.75, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander's resale value?

The current average of $44,704 sits slightly below last year's $47,887.

That softer pricing suggests the model has already moved through some of its early depreciation, which can help future resale stability if you buy at the right price. If you choose a well-equipped example with strong condition and desirable features, you may be better positioned when it is time to sell. The current market also shows enough demand and inventory depth to support a healthy used-car audience.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander safe?

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 comes standard and includes automatic emergency braking, lane-departure alert with steering assist, lane-tracing assist, road-sign recognition, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control with four following-distance settings.

That standard safety package is a major strength, especially because you do not need to move up the trim ladder to get it. The main caveat is that this model year has not been crash-tested yet, so you are relying on Toyota’s standard equipment and the expert safety score rather than published test results.

Should I buy a 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 35.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.65% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It stands out as a bigger, more fuel-efficient three-row crossover with two hybrid powertrains and plenty of space for families.

The bottom line: If you want the strongest mix of space, efficiency, and standard safety in this model family, the 2024 is the one to target. If your priority is simply finding the lowest price, you can also compare nearby years, but the 2024 already looks attractive for shoppers who want a roomy family SUV with broad powertrain choice and a healthy used-market supply.
