Overview
- Offered in XLE and Limited trims with FWD or dual‑motor AWD, the Highlander provides two battery choices (77.0 kWh and 95.8 kWh) and up to a manufacturer‑estimated 320 miles of range on AWD with the larger pack.
- Power outputs are 221 hp and 198 lb‑ft for single‑motor FWD models and 338 hp and 323 lb‑ft for AWD versions.
- Charging uses a NACS port with a claimed 10%–80% DC fast‑charge in about 30 minutes, plus battery preconditioning that can automate via Toyota’s Drive Connect subscription and an included dual‑voltage 120/240V cable.
- Vehicle‑to‑load capability debuts for Toyota in the U.S., and the cabin seats up to seven with standard second‑row captain’s chairs (bench optional on XLE AWD), a 12.3‑inch digital cluster, a 14‑inch touchscreen, and Toyota Safety Sense 4.0.
- Toyota positions the family‑focused Highlander EV against three‑row rivals like the Kia EV9 and Hyundai Ioniq 9, with final EPA range figures and MSRP to come before launch.
