Navigating Winter in the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander

For Canadian drivers tackling the challenges of winter, the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander offers a suite of features designed for safety, comfort, and performance. Let’s examine these key features that make it an ideal choice for winter driving.


All-Wheel Drive for Enhanced Traction


One of the fundamental requirements for safe winter driving is reliable traction, and the Grand Highlander's all-wheel drive (AWD) system delivers just that. Standard across all its powertrain options, this AWD system is vital for navigating icy and snow-covered roads, ensuring stable and controlled driving under slippery conditions typical of Canadian winters.


Tailored Performance with Snow Mode


The Grand Highlander further caters to winter conditions with its Snow Mode, part of the Multi-Terrain Select system in the gas and Hybrid MAX models. This mode specifically optimizes the vehicle’s handling for snowy surfaces, providing improved control and safety on roads blanketed in snow. This feature is especially useful for Canadian drivers, who frequently face snowy roads during winter.


Heated Comfort Features


Comfort is a priority in any vehicle, particularly during the cold winter months. To this end, the Grand Highlander comes equipped with standard heated front seats and a steering wheel across all models, offering a necessary respite from the frigid outdoor temperatures. In higher grades, like Limited and Platinum, additional luxuries such as heated second-row seats and power folding mirrors further enhance passenger comfort in cold weather.


Advanced Safety Technologies


Driving in winter often brings unpredictable road conditions, highlighting the importance of advanced safety features. The Grand Highlander addresses this with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, which includes technologies like Lane Departure Alert and Pre-Collision System. These features are invaluable during winter, assisting drivers in maintaining control and preventing accidents on icy or snowy roads.


The 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander is a well-equipped SUV for the rigors of Canadian winters, combining essential features for challenging driving conditions. Its all-wheel drive system ensures steady traction on icy roads, the Snow Mode provides specialized handling in snowy conditions, and the heated seats and steering wheel offer comfort in the cold. Moreover, the advanced safety features of Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 add an extra layer of security for winter driving, making the Grand Highlander a dependable and comfortable choice for navigating through Canada's winter months.
