This should definitely have much better rolling acceleration. If you floor the V6 at 50, it builds up steam really slowly in 3rd gear. Once you floor it at 75, it moves very good.

Test drove both engines. V6 is very reliable. Felt floaty, like an 80s Buick. The 4 is definitely louder, but felt more lively and more passing power. Just my 2 cents. Only time will tell for reliability, but as with most things, people want more and bigger.

These 2.4's are incredibly smooth and torquey. Would love to see what one does tuned. We use them at work, went from the V6 to these. I just love how happy they are to pull briskly to the speed limit without even having to rev.
Test drove a 2.4 turbo yesterday. Came out with mixed feelings. Definitely very punchy and powerful in regular driving compared to the v6 (low to midrange is way better on this), but it was unrefined and felt rather strained instead of smooth like the 2gr. Flooring it was the opposite. The v6 pulls so much harder and is way more linear. Turbo 4 shoves you into the seat initially but really dies at the top end. Turbo is definitely an upgrade for the Karen’s just puttering around town, but a downgrade in flat out acceleration, noise, and refinement. The v6 will definitely be missed. Car and driver also confirmed a 2.4 turbo is in fact slower all across the board compared to the v6
@@bpearr8266 it’s not as buttery smooth or as refined as the v6. Sure it may be compared to other turbo 4’s, but just not as smooth or good sounding as the v6. Power band makes more sense on the turbo though since you don’t have to rev it out like the 6
I am not sure If this is the same engine as the 2.7, the 2.4t comes from the lexus line up, hopefully toyota figured out a way to extend the turbo over 130k 150k miles
Those transmissions have intelligence, it does form a driving pattern based on the main driver driving habits, so if you are a passive driver, and you don't smash the pedal every other minute for the transmission to downshift, then you will have shorts shifts even if you are flooring it at first.
This powertrain doesn't make sense to me. All I see are Highlander Hybrids running around. They might as well strap the rx500hs motor onto this and just make highlander hybrid only?
As a acceleration from dead stop in my opinion the V6 is faster, driving through town at speeds between 25 mph to 55 mph the 2.4 turbo is significantly quicker downshifting and going through the gears
Believe it or not the torque which is over 310 if I remember correctly, keeps it shifting around 4000 if you really demand power but you haven't floor it yet. Also this is a brand new vehicle, it does learn driving patterns so the transmission will eventually adjust the shifting to the driving style
@@abdullah6747 definitely find one to drive, the truck feels light like a rav4 because of the sound and the quickness of the shifting throughout the gears, but at the same time its still the same old body
This 2.4t is meant to replace the 3.5 V6, the models that had the V6 such as the RX350, Highlander, etc got this 2.4t, so no doubt more models such as the Camry, ES350 will get this engine as well. Surprised this engine isn't in the Sienna though.
I actually had the chance to drive the highlander Plt on a 600 mile road trip, and I am slowly changing my mind on the 4 banger, if you feather ot it can easily go to higher 20s in mpg. Also drove the Tacoma with the same engine, again the gearing allows you do keep 75 mph at 1600 rpms. The engine barely works on the highway
My 2011 Highlander Limited is smooth as silk, but mpg's are like a V8 pickup. 16-17. We are empty nesters so the 3rd row is never used. My 2024 Venza Gets 41 mpg....41!!!!. Its a hair less smooth, but there is nothing the Venza doesn't do better than my Highlander. If you want a 6, get a used Lexus RX450h. Decent milage and a super silky Hybrid 6.
I've heard the 3.5 V6 can easily go to 250,000 miles with our major problems....yet the Toyota 2.4L turbo engine T24A-FTS has a lifespan of 250000km or 150,000.....plus turbo are know to burn oil and see it being problematic in other car maker turbos.....I prefer the known reliability of the V6.....Turbo charger on a car can cost $1500 just for the part + labour. Unless you have money to burn so please send it my way LOL
3.5 v6 has literally no ceiling in my opinion, as I have driven some 2011 2012 siennas ex cabbies with over 600k. Last week I appraised a 2019 camry v6 with 287k miles if I put a sticker above the odometer, you can't tell me the car has more than 100k!
Motor trend got 8.0 seconds for this turbo 0-60 but got 6.8 for an xle v6 so it’s quite a bit slower flat out. But I’m sure this thing feels quicker in normal city driving due to the extra low end torque from the turbo. Sad to see the v6 go (I have one) but the turbo makes sense for the average consumer and their driving habits.
@@driversonly8461 Right. The V6 did require some revs to pick up speed but at least it was a rev-happy engine and it sounded great. I have a Sienna V6. You do need to push it especially with heavier loads but it sounds great when you do
@@ji9starrz definitely. The noise is so excellent and it still sounds refined even at higher revs. Have a 2017 highlander xle with the v6 and despite the lack of torque on the low end, it’s still a very punchy motor and provides more than enough power and driving satisfaction. Really good engine for highway passing it just continues to pull and pull very hard til top speed
@@clover7359well looks like the new Tacoma will have a pretty similar powertrain. Looks like there’s a 6 speed manual option, the automatic should be the 8 speed which is still great
I have the older v6 with the 8 speed auto........ very good just needed more agressive tune on the gearbox and better gearing to get off the line in a 0-100km/h run. Does like 8-9 seconds here in Australia....... pretty poor. A sub mid 6-7 second would have been better as the standard.

Well Highlander 2022 has powerful V6 engine. I think without speed limiter top speed is around 150mph. But Highlander 2022 has speed limiter and topped out 113 mph. Highlander 3.5 liter V6 gets better acceleration. And around 113 mph, engine rpm stops around almost at 6000 rpm. That speed limiter is low at 113 mph.

Honestly once u get used to the digital then it takes few seconds to find the needle
A digital cluster, depending on overall visual image can be a vehicle deal breaker for me. Analog cluster for me, everytime.
