The Toyota Highlander is entering a brand-new generation for 2027, and it's one of the most significant changes the model has ever seen. At Sunny King Toyota, located at 2570 U.S. Highway 78 East, Anniston, Alabama, just about an hour from Birmingham via I-20 East, we've seen how popular the Highlander has been with families over the years for its space, comfort, and everyday practicality. Now, Toyota is taking that familiar formula and updating it for a fully electric future. The 2027 Highlander brings a new design, advanced technology, and an all-electric powertrain that completely changes how this SUV performs and feels on the road.
Is the 2027 Toyota Highlander All-Electric?
One of the biggest updates for the 2027 model is the switch to a fully electric lineup. Instead of a traditional gas engine, the Highlander now uses electric motors designed to deliver smooth, instant power in everyday driving.
Depending on configuration, drivers can expect:
- Up to 221 horsepower and 198 lb-ft of torque in front-wheel drive models
- Up to 338 horsepower and 323 lb-ft of torque in all-wheel drive models
- Estimated driving range of up to around 320 miles on select versions
What stands out most is how the power feels: quick, quiet, and responsive the moment you press the accelerator. It's still an SUV built for families, just with a much more modern driving experience.
A Smarter, More Modern Interior
Inside, the 2027 Highlander has been redesigned to feel cleaner, more open, and more connected. Toyota has leaned heavily into digital features while still keeping the cabin easy to use day to day.
Key interior updates include:
- A large 14-inch touchscreen display for infotainment, navigation, and vehicle controls
- A 12.3-inch digital driver display for key driving information
- Updated Toyota multimedia system with faster response and improved usability
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Multiple USB-C charging ports across all three rows
The layout is simpler and more driver-focused, helping reduce clutter while making important controls easier to reach.
Space, Safety and Everyday Practicality of the 2027 Highlander
Even with all the changes, the Highlander stays true to its roots as a family-friendly SUV. It still offers three rows of seating and the kind of flexibility drivers rely on for daily life, road trips, and everything in between.
Highlights include:
- Seating for up to seven passengers
- Flexible second and third rows for passengers or cargo
- Expanded usable cargo space thanks to the EV platform
- A quieter cabin with less road and wind noise
Toyota also continues to improve safety and driver assistance features in the 2027 Highlander. Expect a full suite of systems designed to support everyday driving, including adaptive cruise control, lane assistance, blind spot monitoring, and enhanced collision avoidance technology.
