For more than two decades, families have relied on the Toyota Highlander to handle school carpools, grocery runs, and weekend road trips. It built a reputation on practicality, comfort, and dependability. Now, that same trusted nameplate is making a major leap forward. The upcoming 2027 Toyota Highlander EV marks the vehicle’s first shift into an all-electric lineup, bringing three rows of seating and zero tailpipe emissions to drivers who need space without compromise.
At Group 1 Toyota Fort Bend, we know that local drivers want vehicles that fit their busy schedules. Whether you are commuting daily through Houston, running errands across Sugar Land, or taking weekend trips out past Rosenberg, Fulshear, and Katy, this all-electric SUV provides the flexibility your lifestyle demands.

Moving away from gasoline does not mean sacrificing capability. Toyota built the 2027 Highlander EV on a specially modified version of its TNGA-K platform. This design holds a large battery pack under the floor while keeping the cabin open and airy. This structural layout gives the vehicle a low center of gravity, which translates to smooth handling and a remarkably quiet ride.
Drivers can choose between two distinct powertrain configurations depending on their driving preferences:
When it comes to charging, convenience is built right into the design. Every 2027 Highlander EV features a standard North American Charging System (NACS) port. This gives you direct access to thousands of fast-charging stations nationwide, allowing you to charge the battery from 10% to 80% in roughly 30 minutes at a compatible DC fast charger.
Inside, the Highlander EV focuses heavily on utility and passenger comfort. The cabin accommodates up to seven passengers when equipped with the available second-row bench seat on the XLE grade, or six passengers if you choose the second-row captain’s chairs. Standard SofTex® synthetic leather seating provides a premium feel that is easy to clean, while built-in sound-absorbing insulation and acoustic windshield glass keep outside traffic noise from disrupting your family’s conversations.
Storage options are just as flexible. Even with every seat occupied, the rear cargo area holds 15.9 cubic feet of gear. When you need to transport bulkier items home to Houston or Sugar Land, the third-row seats fold completely flat with a single touch, opening up a spacious 45.6 cubic feet of cargo volume.
The dashboard centers around a standard 14-inch touchscreen running the latest Toyota Audio Multimedia system. It features wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, allowing you to access maps, playlists, and hands-free calls easily. A 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster sits right behind the steering wheel, displaying real-time battery status, current driving range, and turn-by-turn directions. USB charging ports span across all three rows, so no one has to compete for power during long drives across Rosenberg, Fulshear, or Katy.
The Highlander EV also acts as a mobile power hub. Thanks to onboard vehicle-to-load (V2L) technology, the SUV can supply electrical power to external devices. With the proper bi-directional accessories, you can power camping equipment, tailgating gear, or even essential household appliances during an unexpected power outage.
Safety remains at the center of the Highlander experience. The 2027 model comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense™ 4.0 (TSS 4.0), the brand’s newest suite of active safety technologies. This system includes an expanded pre-collision warning system with automatic emergency braking, lane departure alerts with steering assist, and adaptive cruise control. The Limited grade enhances your awareness further by adding a 360-degree Panoramic View Monitor and Traffic Jam Assist to make tight parking spaces and heavy highway traffic much easier to manage.
