2024 Toyota Model Lineup: What’s New?

Toyota is the world’s best-selling carmaker and for good reasons. Regardless of the type of vehicle you’re after, you can count on the fact that there’s a Toyota that fits your needs and that you can rely on for many years to come. While older models successfully stand the test of time, each new model and generation adds new features and improves on the existing ones. The team at Red McCombs Toyota in San Antonio, Texas, has written this article to introduce you to the new models in Toyota’s 2024 lineup.

2024 Toyota Tacoma

Midsize pickups are constantly growing in popularity, mainly because they’re fit for every purpose. The Tacoma has built a solid reputation as a dependable pickup truck that you can use for work purposes, but newer models have become more and more comfortable to use in everyday life. The 2024 model is the first from its fourth generation, with the previous one spanning from 2016 until 2023. Besides having a completely redesigned look, the new Tacoma is even more versatile than the previous generation, being an excellent companion on both city roads and off-road trails.

The 2024 Tacoma is also highly configurable due to its many available trims, bed sizes, and cab layouts. Toyota has fully redesigned the interior, which features some of the latest infotainment technology, including an available 14-inch touch-screen interface. It also has some classic buttons and knobs, as they’re much easier to use while looking at the road. While the official MSRP hasn’t been announced, the price is likely to start at around $30,000.

The 2024 Tacoma features an impressive eight trims, so you’ll definitely find the configuration that fits you best. They are:

• SR: This is the base trim but, unlike previous generations, it works perfectly well as a personal vehicle besides being a reliable work truck. Its engine generates up to 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque and, while its fuel economy ratings aren’t available yet, they’re likely to be superior to the previous model’s 22 mpg on the highway.
• SR5: This is an improved version of the basic trim. It adds a more powerful 278-horsepower engine, plus other features such as 17-inch alloy wheels and LED lights.
• TRD PreRunner: This trim returns to the Tacoma’s lineup for the first time since 2015. One of its main additions is the 4×2 electronically activated rear locking differential, which improves its off-road capability.
• TRD Sport: This trim improves the Tacoma’s off-road capability and adds multiple aesthetic features. Some of the additions are its sport-tuned twin-tube shocks, larger 18-inch black wheels, and black exterior badging.
• TRD Off-Road: As the name suggests, this trim improves the Tacoma’s off-road capability even further. Added features include composite skid plates, Bilstein monotube remote reservoir shocks, and a multi-terrain select feature that adjusts transmission and suspension based on the surface you’re driving on.
• Limited: This gives the Tacoma a more luxurious look and feel. Some of its look-enhancing features are its chrome wheels and chrome accents.
• TRD Pro: This is the top-of-the-line TRD off-road model. It includes a standard 2.4-liter turbo hybrid engine with 326 horsepower, plus a long list of off-road-specific features.
• Trailhunter: This trim makes its debut on the 2024 Tacoma. It includes all accessories on previous trims and some all-new ones, making it ideal for any terrain and situation.

2024 Toyota Grand Highlander

The Grand Highlander makes its debut with the 2024 model. As the name suggests, it’s an enhanced version of the original Highlander, offering more third-row space and cargo space among others. Its price will start at $43,070 and Toyota estimates that it’ll have a fuel economy rating of 34 mpg on the highway for its hybrid model, which is impressive for such a large vehicle. The 2024 Grand Highlander will be available in the following three distinct trims:

• XLE: Although this is the entry-level Grand Highlander, you wouldn’t know it by simply looking at its list of features. Besides multiple stylish amenities and infotainment features, it also includes the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 active safety package, with driver aids such as frontal collision mitigation, a lane-keeping system, and others designed to help you notice and avoid potential collisions.
• Limited: The Limited version adds multiple improvements without being overly revolutionary. These include larger 20-inch wheels, a fully digital instrument panel, heated second-row seats, and leather upholstery.
• Platinum: The top-of-the-line Grand Highlander includes all features from the previous two trims and adds a few of its own. Some of the latter are a 360-degree camera system and a spectacular panoramic sunroof.

2024 Toyota Corolla and Corolla Hatchback

The best-selling car of all time is back and probably better than ever. The 2024 model is part of the Corolla’s 12th generation, which Toyota introduced in 2018. The main addition is the return of its Nightshade trim, which consists of an all-black exterior and bronze wheels.

With a likely starting price of around $21,800, it’s expected to stay true to Toyota’s eco-friendly reputation with a combined fuel economy of over 40 mpg for the hybrid version. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded the 2023 model a maximum five-star safety rating, and the 2024 model will probably have the same.

2024 Toyota GR86

If you’re looking for an affordable sports car that’s both simple and fun to drive, you’ll find that there aren’t many options out there. However, one of the best ones is the spectacular Toyota GR86. Its pricing starts at slightly under $30k, and you’ll definitely be getting plenty of value for your money.

There aren’t many differences between the 2024 and 2023 models but that’s not necessarily a bad thing, as the former was a hit with car lovers. Although there are still various unknown details regarding the 2024 model, it’ll certainly retain its excellent handling and sporty interior.
