When comparing the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander to the 2024 Hyundai Palisade, the Grand Highlander shines brighter, especially when it comes to family-friendly features. The third row in the Grand Highlander is designed with adults in mind, offering a generous 33.5 inches of legroom so everyone can stretch out comfortably—even on long road trips. While the Hyundai Palisade has a spacious interior, the Grand Highlander's attention to detail in making sure every passenger, no matter where they're seated, feels comfortable is unmatched. The heated and ventilated front- and second-row seats allow passengers to customize their comfort, whether warming up in the winter or cooling down during a summer road trip.
Storage is another area where the Grand Highlander excels. It's equipped with convenient storage solutions in every row, so there's a spot for everything, whether it's snacks, toys, or personal items. Even with all the seats up, the Grand Highlander still offers an impressive 20.6 cu. ft. of cargo space, perfect for groceries, strollers, or sports gear. Fold down the seats, and you get a whopping 97.5 cu. ft. of space—ideal for more significant items like camping gear or furniture. Additionally, the Grand Highlander's Smart Key-activated hands-free liftgate and the ability to open the cargo area with a simple kick under the rear bumper make it even more convenient when your hands are full. Add in features like the seven USB-C ports, the 13 cup holders, and the power outlets, and the Grand Highlander feels like it's been designed with modern family adventures in mind.
