Coming Soon

Toyota Highlander 4th Generation (XU70)

20202030 · XU70 · suv

Fourth-gen Highlander launched on TNGA-K with the 3.5L 2GR-FKS V6, then swapped to the 2.4L T24A-FTS turbo four for 2023 — a controversial change for power feel. The hybrid runs the 2.5L A25A-FXS with E-CVT and is the volume engine for many buyers. 8-speed auto on non-hybrid; Grand Highlander launched alongside as a larger sibling.

Watch out: Owner reports of 2.4L turbo wastegate-rattle complaints early in production; infotainment quirks on pre-refresh units. The V6-to-turbo-4 swap is a real downgrade in tow rating — verify trim/year matches your needs.

Full clubhouse — owner Garage Lineage, common problems, year-by-year notes, and product picks — is on the build list.
