Toyota Commits Fully to an Electric Highlander, Betting the Gas Version Won't Be Missed
Toyota will replace its iconic Highlander SUV with a purely electric model starting in 2027, a bold bet that the declining gas variant can yield its nameplate to an EV while the larger Grand Highlander absorbs traditional buyers.
Key Takeaways
- Toyota's 2027 Highlander will be electric-only with no gas or hybrid variant
- Highlander sales fell from 250K to under 60K as Grand Highlander surged to 136K
- Tesla's Model X discontinuation opens a gap Toyota aims to fill
