All-New 2027 Toyota Highlander
Step into the future of family adventure with the boldly reinvented 2027 Toyota Highlander.
From its sleek, modern exterior to a spacious, elevated interior, this next-generation Highlander is designed to inspire. Paired with a powerful all‑electric powertrain, it delivers an energizing blend of style, innovation, and capability.
So, what makes Toyota’s first U.S.-assembled three‑row battery electric vehicle truly stand out? Here are five things you need to know about the reimagined, all‑new 2027 Toyota Highlander.
Where Sleek Design Meets Supreme Comfort and Dynamic Power
The 2027 Toyota Highlander makes a bold statement from every angle. Its striking exterior features clean lines, broad fenders, full‑length LED daytime running lights, and semi‑flush door handles—each element thoughtfully designed to enhance aerodynamics and visual presence. Inside, a premium, high‑tech cabin welcomes drivers and passengers alike. A commanding, driver‑focused cockpit anchors the space, highlighted by a standard 14‑inch touchscreen and a 12.3‑inch digital driver’s display. Customizable ambient lighting sets the tone, while abundant device charging in every row ensures everyone stays powered on the go. For an even more elevated experience, an available **fixed glass panoramic roof—the largest in the Toyota lineup—**creates a bright, airy, and expansive interior. Available rear window shades add an extra touch of comfort and privacy for rear‑seat guests.
Ushering in a new era, the 2027 Highlander comes standard with a battery electric powertrain and will be offered in two grades: XLE and the top‑of‑the‑line Limited. The versatile XLE grade delivers flexibility with both front‑wheel drive (FWD) and electronic all‑wheel drive (AWD) options. Every XLE FWD model is powered by a robust 77.0‑kWh battery, while XLE AWD models allow owners to choose between the 77.0‑kWh battery or an extended‑range 95.8‑kWh battery.
For those seeking the ultimate package, the Limited grade comes exclusively with AWD and includes the 95.8‑kWh battery as standard. XLE AWD and Limited AWD models equipped with the 95.8‑kWh battery deliver a manufacturer‑estimated total driving range of up to 320 miles*. Beyond electrified performance, AWD‑equipped Highlander models elevate adventure with advanced capability features such as Multi‑Terrain Select and Crawl Control, providing added confidence across a wide range of road and trail conditions.
Designed for Space. Built for Safety
The 2027 Toyota Highlander boasts a thoughtfully designed, spacious interior that comfortably seats up to seven passengers. Its three‑row layout—including a loveseat‑style third row—ensures there’s room for the whole crew without sacrificing comfort. Every detail reflects an elevated experience. Standard SofTex®‑trimmed seating pairs with soft‑touch materials across the dashboard and doors, creating a refined, welcoming cabin environment. Comfort comes standard with heated front seats, while available ventilated front seats and heated second‑row seating help keep every passenger comfortable in any season. When versatility is key, the third row folds seamlessly flat to reveal more than 45 cubic feet of flexible cargo space, making it easy to adapt from people‑moving to gear‑hauling in moments.
Because every journey deserves confidence and connection, all 2027 Highlander grades come standard with Toyota Safety Sense™ 4.0 (TSS 4.0) and the intuitive Toyota Audio Multimedia system, delivering advanced driver assistance and seamless connectivity on every drive.
Confident Power, Delivered on Demand
As the fourth battery electric vehicle in Toyota’s U.S. lineup, the 2027 Toyota Highlander stands confidently at the forefront of innovation. For the first time ever in a Toyota model sold in the U.S., it introduces vehicle‑to‑load (V2L) technology. The possibilities are powerful. From energizing your favorite appliances at an epic tailgate to providing critical backup power to your home during an unexpected outage, Highlander brings electricity where—and when—you need it most. This groundbreaking capability is further enhanced by Toyota’s intelligent Charge Assist and ECO Charge features, accessible through the Toyota app with a Remote Connect trial or subscription. These smart systems allow the 2027 Highlander to strategically charge during off‑peak, lower‑rate periods, or even when renewable energy is actively being generated, helping owners optimize efficiency and convenience.
Smooth Performance with Power to Move
A hallmark of battery electric vehicles is their inherently thrilling driving character—made possible by a low center of gravity and the electrifying, instant torque that only an electric motor can deliver. Toyota engineers fully embraced these advantages, crafting an all‑electric 2027 Toyota Highlander that seamlessly blends efficiency with compelling power. The result is sharp, exhilarating acceleration paired with a serenely quiet ride, creating a driving experience that feels both confident and refined. AWD‑equipped models deliver an impressive 338 net combined system horsepower, along with 198 lb.-ft. of front motor torque and 125 lb.-ft. of rear motor torque, providing responsive performance and enhanced traction. For those who choose front‑wheel drive, Highlander offers 221 net combined system horsepower and 198 lb.-ft. of torque, delivering smooth, capable power for everyday driving.
Proudly Assembled in the U.S.A., Backed by Toyota’s Commitment
With deep American roots, the 2027 Highlander is a next-generation electric SUV that will proudly roll off the assembly lines at Toyota’s renowned manufacturing facility in Georgetown, Kentucky. Powering its advanced powertrain are batteries assembled right here in America, drawing from Toyota’s newly opened, $13.9 billion battery plant in Liberty, North Carolina, complemented by a strategic supplier partner. Sales of the all-new Highlander are expected to begin in late 2026, continuing into early 2027. For more information, please visit us at Toyota of Corona.
