Toyota has unveiled the electric Highlander 2027: a range of up to 515 km and three rows of seats

The 2027 all-electric Toyota Highlander has officially debuted as the brand’s first all-battery-powered three-row SUV. The new model marks a new phase in the electrification of Toyota’s lineup and is aimed at family drivers who need a spacious electric crossover with a long range and modern technology.

According to the manufacturer, the model will not be available in a hybrid version—Toyota has opted for an all-electric powertrain from the start. The new electric Highlander will go on sale in 2027 and will compete with large electric SUVs, including the Kia EV9, Hyundai Ioniq 9, and other family-oriented electric crossovers.

Range and Battery of the Toyota Highlander EV

In the U.S., the new Toyota electric crossover will be offered with two battery options:

• a 77 kWh battery;

• a 96 kWh battery.

The maximum range with the higher-capacity battery reaches 320 miles (approximately 515 km). This makes the new Toyota Highlander EV one of the longest-range three-row electric crossovers in its segment.

The model’s starting price in the U.S. is expected to be under $50,000, allowing it to compete with affordable electric SUVs.

Design and Technology of the New Highlander

The 2027 Toyota Highlander EV features a modern design with a closed-off grille, LED headlights, and improved aerodynamics. The crossover is equipped with an NACS connector, allowing it to charge at Tesla Supercharger stations in the U.S.

Key technologies include:

• V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) functionality—the ability to power household appliances from the vehicle;

• a state-of-the-art multimedia system;

• a digital instrument cluster;

• the comprehensive Toyota Safety Sense 4.0 safety suite.

The safety package includes:

• adaptive cruise control;

• lane-keeping assist;

• automatic emergency braking;

• pedestrian and cyclist detection.

Spacious Interior and Practicality

The new electric Highlander seats seven passengers and features three rows of seats. USB-C ports are provided for third-row passengers to charge their devices.

With the seats folded down, the vehicle offers up to 45 cubic feet of cargo space, making it practical for family trips and everyday use.

When to Expect It on the Market

Sales of the 2027 electric Toyota Highlander will initially begin in the U.S., and the model may later become available in other markets. The new model is expected to become one of the key family electric SUVs in Toyota’s global lineup.

Summary

The new Toyota Highlander EV is a spacious three-row electric crossover with a range of up to 515 km, modern safety technologies, and a V2L feature. The model is designed for families who need a practical, high-tech, long-range electric SUV for everyday use and travel.
