Toyota has unveiled the 2027 Highlander, the first fully electric version of the car and the US automaker’s fourth EV. It is also the company’s first EV assembled in the country and the first electric model with three rows of seats. The automaker is now selling electric C-HR crossover and the electric BZ SUV in the US. While the 2027 Highlander is similar to its predecessors, its lines look sharper and it has wider fenders. In addition, it has flush door handles similar to Tesla’s, designed for aerodynamics but where China recently banned due to safety concerns.

The new Highlander will be available in several variants, particularly in Limited and XLE (Executive Luxury Edition) grades with either front-wheel or all-wheel drive configuration. If you get the Limited edition all-wheel drive with a 95.8 kWh battery, you can get a range of 320 miles on a single charge, based on Toyota’s estimates. Note that manufacturers’ and EPA’s range estimates may differ from each other. It is more accurate to compare EPA ranges between vehicles across brands, as they are determined using the agency’s testing methods.

The 2027 Highlander in XLE front wheel drive configuration with a 77 kWh battery has a manufacturer’s estimated range of 287 miles. Meanwhile, the all-wheel drive XLE variant has either a 77 kWh battery that can power it for 270 miles or a 95.8 kWh battery with an estimated range of 320 miles, similar to the Limited edition car. The all-wheel drive variants have a total maximum power output of 338 horsepower, while the front-wheel models have a power output of 221 hp.

All EV versions can seat seven, with the third row folding flat if you need it for cargo. They come with heated front seats, but you can also get ventilated and heated seats in the second row for an extra charge. Toyota will start selling the 2027 Highlander in late 2026, with some regions getting it early next year. The automaker says it will announce pricing for the EV model closer to its release date.
