1. Digital Key
Each of the Grand Highlander’s three grades comes with Digital Key capability, plus a one-year subscription to Remote Connect, which is required to use your Digital Key. With this technology, you can use your smartphone in place of a physical key fob to unlock the doors and start the engine. You’ll just need to have Bluetooth enabled and the Toyota app running in the background. You can even share your Digital Key with up to seven friends or family members.
2. Adaptable Seating for Seven or Eight
Whether you choose the standard seven-passenger seating with second-row captain’s chairs or the available eight-passenger seating with a reclining second-row bench, the Grand Highlander keeps everyone comfortable with three-zone auto climate control and second-row retractable window sunshades. Its third row is easy to access and is made for adults, with plenty of legroom and large windows.
The Grand Highlander also has convenient storage, including 13 cup and bottle holders and 20.6 cu. ft. of cargo space behind the third row. When you fold both rows of rear seats, you’ll reveal a massive 97.5 cu. ft. of cargo space. The Grand Highlander’s standard power liftgate opens with the press of a button, making loading and unloading easy and convenient.
3. Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
When standard cruise control reaches its limitations, the Grand Highlander’s Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) comes in, automatically adapting to conditions on the highway. With this system, you’ll set your cruising speed and preferred following distance, and the Grand Highlander’s sensors will detect the vehicle ahead of yours. If there’s a slowdown, DRCC automatically adjusts your speed. You can even use this system together with Lane Tracing Assist to help you stay centered in your lane.
4. Toyota Audio Multimedia
Controlling your Grand Highlander’s audio and vehicle settings is intuitive thanks to a 12.3-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen that’s conveniently located at the center of your dashboard. Whether you have the standard six-speaker audio system or the available 11-speaker JBL Premium Audio system, you can enjoy your favorite sounds on SiriusXM radio or directly from your smartphone when you connect it using wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
The Grand Highlander has even more impressive standard features that we’d love to show you in person. To schedule your demonstration and test drive, contact us at Bill Page Toyota in Falls Church, VA.
Since payload capacity is unique to your 2024 Sienna, it’s important to know its exact weight rating before making any assumptions. The first step is to check the driver-side door panel, where you’ll find a sticker with vital information, including your car’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). This number represents the maximum weight your Sienna can carry.
Then, subtract the curb (empty) weight of the Sienna from the GVWR to determine the available payload capacity. For reference, the empty weight varies by trim: 4610 pounds for the base trim, 4675 pounds for the XSE, 4725 pounds for the Platinum and Limited model, and 4625 pounds for all other models.
Can You Increase the Payload Capacity?
The short answer is no. You can’t just slap on a few upgrades and expect your Sienna to carry more weight. Toyota sets payload capacity based on your vehicle’s design, including frame, suspension, transmission, brakes, options, and so on. Exceeding this limit puts you at risk of poor handling, reduced safety, and potential damage to the suspension, wheels, axles, and other vital components. Beyond that, overloading can lead to legal consequences.
What About Towing Capacity?
When it comes to towing, the 2024 Sienna is no slouch. While it’s not the Tundra, it certainly holds its own with a solid towing capacity of 3,500 pounds when properly equipped. It’s worth noting that this figure is not a one-size-fits-all number; it’s simply the maximum towing capacity your Sienna can handle. You should never exceed this limit whatsoever.
To work out your true towing capacity, start with the payload capacity figure we discussed earlier. Subtract the weight of your passengers, their bags, the kids’ bikes, and the dog, you get the picture. Now, divide the remaining number by 0.13 (because nearly 13% of the trailer weight will sit on the tongue). This should give you the maximum weight of your trailer.
As you can see, the Sienna’s payload and towing capacity make it a strong contender for families looking for an all-round vehicle. To see it in action, contact Bill Page Toyota in Falls Church, VA. Our team will walk you through all the features that make this van stand out and even arrange a test drive so you can experience its capabilities firsthand.
1. SE
Combining efficiency and performance, the SE is powered by a 169-horsepower 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that averages a manufacturer-estimated 41 MPG on the highway. It has a Dynamic-Shift CVT with paddle shifters that make it easy to adjust gear ratios. LED headlights and taillights increase visibility on the road, and a rear spoiler and 16-inch alloy wheels add to the SE’s sporty styling. Inside, fabric-trimmed sport seats keep you supported through curves, while automatic climate control keeps the cabin comfortable.
For added convenience, the SE comes with a Smart Key System that lets you unlock the doors and start the engine without searching for your key first. An 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen displays vehicle settings and controls the 6-speaker audio system. With wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, you can even connect your smartphone to the touchscreen. The SE also keeps you safer on the road with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, a suite of 6 driver assistance features.
2. Nightshade
For sleek, blackout styling, choose the Corolla Hatchback Nightshade with black exterior details that include the rear spoiler, front lower grille surround, and mirrors. It has stunning 18-inch bronze-finished alloy wheels, plus a Midnight Black Metallic roof that can be paired with a different paint color for a two-tone exterior.
3. XSE
The XSE adds to the SE’s standard equipment with exciting features like LED fog lights, 18-inch graphite-colored alloy wheels, and a wireless phone charger. Drivers will enjoy a premium cabin with SofTex-trimmed seats, heated front seats, and a power driver’s seat. The XSE’s dual-zone automatic climate control system lets the driver and front passenger choose separate temperatures for customized comfort. This model averages 38 MPG on the highway, according to manufacturer estimates.
Driving information like fuel economy, outside temperature, and tire pressure is easier to see on the XSE, with its 7-inch fully digital gauge cluster. You can also enjoy your favorite music with even greater sound clarity, thanks to an 8-speaker JBL Premium Audio system. The included Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert adds rear-bumper sensors that detect hard-to-see vehicles and provide you with warnings so you can avoid a potential collision.
No matter which trim you prefer, the Corolla Hatchback is a reliable, efficient, and fun-to-drive choice. To experience it for yourself, visit our showroom at Bill Page Toyota in Falls Church, VA, for a test drive.
Towing Capacity and Power
The Highlander Hybrid effortlessly tows 3,500 lbs, powered by a 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine and either two or three electric motors, depending on the drivetrain. The SUV’s all-wheel drive (AWD) system is propelled by two electric motors at the front and one at the rear, combining with the engine to produce 243 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. Meanwhile, the front-wheel drive (FWD) configuration uses two electric motors to generate the same power output.
Safety Technology
To ensure your safety when towing a loaded trailer, the Highlander Hybrid is equipped with a standard backup camera, an available 360-degree panoramic view monitor, blind spot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking. The SUV also features Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+, which adds safety and convenience technologies such as adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning with steering assist, and pedestrian detection.
EPA-Estimated Fuel Economy
Stellar fuel economy is part of the package when you choose the Highlander Hybrid. The SUV achieves an EPA-estimated 35 mpg city and highway in its AWD configuration; meanwhile, the FWD hybrid drives slightly further, delivering a fuel economy of 36 mpg city and 35 mpg highway. The excellent city fuel economy ratings are attributed to Toyota’s hybrid technology, which utilizes electric motors to perform most of the work in low-speed city driving.
You can also completely turn off fuel consumption by switching to EV mode. The Highlander Hybrid can cover short distances emission-free until the high-voltage battery runs out of charge.
Cargo Capacity and Cabin Space
There is plenty of space inside the Highlander Hybrid to fit whatever doesn’t go on a trailer. Opening the liftgate reveals 16 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the third-row seats, which can be expanded to 48.4 cubic feet with the seats folded. If you need more space, you can fold the second-row seats to gain access to an impressive 84.3 cubic feet.
The Highlander Hybrid seats up to eight, making it perfect for a large family. The driver and front passenger enjoy 42.0 inches of legroom, while second-row passengers get 38.7 inches. If you have younger children, they will comfortably fit in the 28 inches of legroom offered in the third row.

What Is the MPG of the 2024 Toyota Prius?
It takes a lineage of innovation and progress to build a vehicle like the 2024 Toyota Prius. In many ways, it’s a car that has it all: sleek style, zippy and enjoyable driving dynamics, and top-tier technology at the fingertips of every driver. And with the lastest advancements in hybrid technology, it’s jaw-droppingly efficient. But how efficient is that, exactly? Here’s our deep dive into Prius efficiency.
With multiple trim configurations earning different EPA estimates, it’s important to understand how configuration impacts fuel economy. While every model in the lineup shares the same 2.0-liter Hybrid Synergy Drive power plant, options change both weight and power distribution, which directly impact fuel economy.
The good news is that every trim offers excellent mileage. The heaviest and least efficient configurations are the XLE and Limited trims outfitted with All-Wheel Drive, which each offer 49 mpg combined (49 city / 50 highway). The lightest and most efficient trim, the entry-level LE in an FWD configuration, gets a jaw-dropping 57 mpg combined (56 city / 57 highway). That makes the Prius incredibly efficient no matter what.
Plenty Powerful
Once upon a time, hybrids offered efficiency at the cost of power. Not so in the 2024 Prius. With 194 hp in FWD configurations and 196 horsepower in AWD-specced models, the Prius has more than enough power to offer a playful, athletic driving experience. In fact, the Prius climbs from zero to sixty in just 7.2 seconds in FWD models and 7.0 seconds in AWD models, offering excellent performance at on ramps and green lights.
High-Tech Fun
The Prius has long been renowned for enjoyable and premium technology offerings, and the 2024 edition is no different. Digital Key capability lets you unlock and start your Prius with your smartphone. The available Advanced Park system helps make parallel parking easy. Qi-compatible wireless charging is available, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto both work wirelessly on every trim.
An Overflowing Trophy Cabinet
With outstanding design, excellent handling, incredible efficiency, and top-shelf safety, it’s no wonder the 2024 Prius has collected an army of awards. It’s got everything from Editors Choice Awards and 10Best rankings to MotorTrend Car of the Year on its trophy shelf. But the most important award may be the Top Safety Pick+ designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, because it means Prius drivers enjoy one of the safest cars on the road.
The 2024 Prius isn’t just outstandingly efficient. It’s an outstanding vehicle from its aggressively styled nose to the sleek and useful hatch. So come see what all the excitement’s about. Test drive a 2024 Prius today at Bill Page Toyota in Falls Church, VA.
