Read more2027 Toyota Highlander: Toyota's First Three-Row Electric SUV is Coming Soon
Toyota is embarking on a minor revolution with the 2027 Highlander, its very first three-row electric SUV. Most importantly, it is reimagining the purpose of a model that has been popular for 25 years. It took some boldness. As a result, the Highlander becomes the brand's first mass-market electric SUV assembled in North America—a clear signal of Toyota's accelerating move toward electrification.
Expected at Canadian dealerships in the second half of 2026, this model is aimed directly at families looking for a large SUV capable of replacing a gas-powered vehicle without compromising on space, versatility, or range.
For families in Laval, often looking for a seven-seater vehicle for daily activities and long road trips to the regions, the 2027 Highlander promises to be a particularly compelling option.
Up to 511 km of Range
The 2027 Highlander will be offered in front-wheel drive (FWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) configurations. The XLE AWD version, equipped with a 95.8 kWh battery, offers an estimated range of up to 511 km.
Combined power reaches up to 338 horsepower on all-wheel-drive versions, striking a balance between performance and efficiency.
Like other electric models in the lineup, this vehicle adopts the NACS charging port, providing access to a vast network of fast chargers across Canada.
Three versions are planned for the Canadian market: XLE, XLE Premium, and Limited, with each offering front-wheel or all-wheel drive depending on the trim.
An Interior Designed for Families
The 2027 Highlander focuses on a three-row configuration capable of seating up to seven people. The use of a dedicated electric platform maximizes interior space and optimizes comfort.
With the third row folded down, cargo volume reaches 1290 liters, placing the electric Highlander among the most practical in its category.
The interior ambiance is modern and tech-forward:
-
14-inch touchscreen
-
12.3-inch digital instrument cluster
-
Ambient lighting
-
Multiple charging ports throughout the cabin
-
Optional large fixed panoramic glass roof, adding brightness and a sense of spaciousness
The Toyota multimedia system is wirelessly compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. When it comes to connectivity, the electric Highlander won't leave you wanting.
Vehicle-to-Load: Energy at Your Fingertips
One of the most interesting features is the Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology. Using compatible accessories, the Highlander can power external devices or serve as a backup energy source in case of an emergency. Powering household essentials during a blackout is truly invaluable.
Whether you are staying at a cottage or dealing with a prolonged power outage, this feature adds a level of versatility that is particularly relevant in Quebec.
Safety and Driver Assistance
The 2027 Highlander integrates Toyota's latest driver-assistance systems, including pedestrian detection, lane-keep assist, and adaptive cruise control. Full details will be confirmed as the launch approaches.
Assembled in North America
The fact that the 2027 Highlander is assembled in North America is a significant advantage, both for the supply chain and for access to certain incentive programs.
For Canadian buyers, this also represents an added layer of stability in a context where electric vehicle availability is constantly evolving.
