Toyota has completely reinvented one of its most popular, trusted SUVs. For 2027, the Toyota Highlander makes a bold leap forward, transitioning into a fully electric, three-row family vehicle.
At Walser Toyota in Bloomington, we know Minnesota families need space, all-weather capability, and zero compromises. The 2027 Highlander delivers on all fronts. (Note: if you're looking for a gas or hybrid three-row Toyota SUV, the versatile Grand Highlander remains in our lineup to fit your needs.)
Built on a newly modified TNGA-K platform designed specifically to house a high-capacity battery, the Highlander is now Toyota's dedicated three-row battery-electric vehicle (BEV) — featuring a striking, aerodynamic new look with clean lines, broad fenders, and flush electronic door handles.
Say goodbye to sluggish highway merging. The 2027 Highlander replaces its traditional gas engine with immediate, silent electric torque.
Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) models utilize a single motor producing a robust 221 net combined horsepower and 198 lb-ft of torque. For those who want maximum performance and traction for Minnesota winters, the available Electronic All-Wheel Drive (AWD) adds a rear eAxle motor, bumping output to a thrilling 338 combined horsepower.
AWD models also come equipped with Multi-Terrain Select and Crawl Control, ensuring you maintain optimal grip on icy suburban side streets, muddy cabin trails, or rain-slicked highways.
Charging is seamless thanks to the standard NACS port. This gives Highlander drivers native, plug-and-charge access to the vast Tesla Supercharger network and other compatible DC fast chargers nationwide — no bulky adapters required.
The 2027 Highlander is the first Toyota in the U.S. to offer Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability. With the required bi-directional accessories, your Highlander can act as a mobile power source, capable of powering external devices at a campsite on the North Shore, or even serving as a backup power source for essential appliances in your home during a winter power outage.
The 2027 Highlander is engineered to eliminate range anxiety, offering impressive mileage depending on your battery and drivetrain choice:
An 11-kW onboard charger and native NACS port keep charging simple, whether you're plugging in overnight or stopping at a Supercharger on a road trip to Duluth.
*Ranges are manufacturer-estimated.
The cabin of the new Highlander is an elevated, tech-forward sanctuary. Every model comes standard with SofTex®-trimmed seating, heated front seats, and a massive 14-inch touchscreen featuring wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.
Passenger space is generous across all three rows — seating seven via standard second-row captain's chairs (a bench is available on the XLE AWD). The third row folds flat to reveal 45.6 cubic feet of cargo space, with 15.9 cubic feet usable even with the third row up.
USB-C ports in all three rows, dual Qi-compatible wireless charging trays, and 18 cupholders keep every passenger's device charged and their drinks secure.
The 2027 Highlander matches its modern powertrain with an expressive palette of exterior colors, including two-tone options with a striking black roof on Limited grades:
