Contact Capitol Toyota to discuss the latest timing and configuration information as Toyota prepares to launch this new electric SUV.
Is the 2027 Toyota Highlander EV fully electric?
Yes. The 2027 Toyota Highlander EV is a battery-electric vehicle, meaning it operates entirely on electricity rather than combining a gasoline engine with an electric motor. In fact, it will be Toyota's first three-row BEV offered in the United States and the fourth BEV in Toyota's U.S. lineup. That distinction makes the Highlander EV especially noteworthy for families interested in transitioning to an EV. Its three-row layout expands Toyota's electric choices into a larger SUV format while retaining the everyday versatility associated with the Highlander name.
What is the driving range of the 2027 Toyota Highlander EV?
The 2027 Toyota Highlander EV is expected to provide up to a manufacturer-estimated 320 miles of range on certain all-wheel-drive configurations. Actual range will depend on the particular configuration as well as factors such as driving habits, temperature, terrain, passenger and cargo loads, climate-control use, and other conditions. A range of up to 320 miles gives the Highlander EV the flexibility to handle far more than short daily trips. It can serve as an everyday commuter, family vehicle, or road-trip SUV while allowing many drivers to complete multiple routine journeys between charging sessions.
Does the 2027 Toyota Highlander EV have all-wheel drive?
Yes. The 2027 Highlander EV will be available with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. This gives the new electric Highlander flexibility for different driving preferences and priorities. AWD configurations can provide additional traction by using electric power across both axles, while FWD models offer another option for drivers who may not require all-wheel-drive capability. Battery size, horsepower, range, and other specifications can differ by configuration, making drivetrain one of the important considerations when researching the Highlander EV.
