30,000 Mile Update!! 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid XLE

[@yawk1683]

Looks good. I did the 2 tone color on mine, just like the rav4 prime and added black decals to the GRAND HIGHLADER at the back.

Good video almost 11k on our G Highlander No strut issue but i had a 2021 Highlander XSE had that issue.

Hi, thanks for the follow-up review. How does it overtake on highway speeds? Do u experience any lack of power that it’s a naturally aspirated 2.5 litre with eCVT? Also, Toyota has removed moon roof from XLE trim, do u feel it’s dark inside?

[@Nealman24]

@@luqmankhb It is a bit sluggish but it doesn't bother me because we bought it for the MPG. If you put it in "Sport" mode then it's better. Our XLE has the moonroof, you can see it in my 10,000 mile update. Thanks!

[@luqmankhb]

Alex on autos says it’s 0 to 60 in 7.5 sec. Why it should be sluggish if this is true?

[@sw6155]

Hey buddy, can you show us if it’s possible for someone to access the 3rd row with that car seat in place? You know what I mean? Pretend you have 3 forward facing car seats on that 2nd row, how’d ya access the 3rd without getting them off? Can you hop into the car by just sliding the seat all the way forward before placing the child in the seat??? Thanks in advance 🥰🙏

[@Nealman24]

@@sw6155 It's possible. We normally have my 4yr old's booster seat in the 2nd row and you're still able to slide the seat forward about 2/3 the way. Enough room for my older kids to access the 3rd row. Thanks!

What trim was the Highlander that you were comparing to since wheel size on different trims affect ride quality.

[@Nealman24]

@@ratukamina It was an XLE. I believe same wheel size as our GH.

Hi, my 2024 Grand Hi Hy is broken down, for the 3rd time. I picked it up June 1st. It’s an electronic prob & all systems start malfunctioning & isn’t drivable. Toyota technician is doing piece by piece fixes. I’m super disappointed & just want my car fixed, reliable & safe.

[@Nealman24]

@@elizabethC19 Sorry to hear that, that's super frustrating. They should give you your money back or find you a new GH!

[@EdwardGomez-u8e]

Just asking - what city drove ?

[@konvict072]

Now this is scary... 3 major breakdowns in 2 months, looks like a lemon. They should it take that back and give you another one😌

[@jessidruiett6626]

You should get it lemon law’d!!

[@konvict072]

Thanks for the update... Hard to find any long term reviews since most of GH are new and its a risky blind situation with the 1yr model. Ordered mine in February and was supposed to get it late july or early August but unfortunately stop sale/ production happened 🤦. Well the wait is still on....

[@Nealman24]

@@konvict072 Sorry to hear that! Hopeful soon though. I agree with you, it is risky with it being a 1st year model.

[@readyme]

What is the production stop due to?

[@CreatingSelfCarePlans]

@@readymeI heard it was something related to an airbag issue. Something about it not deploying properly if the window is down. Affected both grand highlander and Lexus tx models. Once they find the fix, sales should resume.

[@Nealman24]

@@readyme I believe it's due to side curtain airbags not functioning properly when the windows are down.

[@LUSkyhawk]

What's 0-60 and 60-80 (or 90) times? I'm looking at the GH eCVT hybrid but I'm worried about merging and passing on the highway (our speed limits are 70-80 mph down here in Texas). I currently have a 2015 Acadia and it does 0-60 in 8.2 which is adequate but it has more horsepower than the GH eCVT hybrid does.

[@Nealman24]

@@LUSkyhawk Then you should consider the GH Hybrid Max, it has a 0-60 of 5.2 seconds.

[@LUSkyhawk]

@@Nealman24 Yeah I know it's super fast but I'm partial to the better gas mileage of the eCVT. It's just hard to find acceleration tests of the eCVT GH.

[@coreyk9752]

I have had 0 problems with merging I use it in sport when I think I need more response works great and I average around 40mpg I live 45 miles from my work.

[@wayneparsons66]

Experienced fuel mpg. I know personal driving habits affect that that still nice to know.

@@ATAKER66 Yes, we've taken several long trips including one from VA to New Orleans where we averaged about 33mpg. We were loaded down too. Hope this helps!

[@Tundra-pw2cu]

You must drive a lot. 30,000 miles in one year. Time to trade it for another one. How long do you normally keep a car putting that many miles a year?

[@Nealman24]

@@Tundra-pw2cu We likely won't always put 30k miles on it each year. We got it to drive it though and my hope would be to get at least 250k out of the car or about 10 years.
