Toyota Highlander EV 2027: A Strategic Leap Into Family EVs

The fifth-generation Highlander arrives as Toyota’s first three-row electric SUV, targeting families who want space without stepping into luxury-brand pricing. With EV adoption slowing in parts of the US, Toyota’s decision still reflects confidence in long-term electrification, a trajectory Pakistan will inevitably follow as charging infrastructure expands.

Key highlights:

Two battery packs: 77 kWh and 95.8 kWh
Estimated range up to 320 miles (515 km)
Power outputs from 221 hp to 338 hp
NACS fast charging (10–80% in ~30 minutes)
Bi-directional charging for home backup

For Pakistani consumers watching EV imports, that 500+ km range places the Highlander EV among the most practical future used-import candidates.

Performance, Dimensions & Practicality

Toyota offers front-wheel drive on the base XLE, while AWD comes standard on higher trims. The SUV now rides on a longer 120.1-inch wheelbase, improving third-row comfort and stability.

Cargo remains competitive:

15.9 cu ft behind third row
45.6 cu ft with third row folded

Standard tech includes a 14-inch touchscreen, Toyota Safety Sense 4.0, wireless Apple CarPlay, heated seats, and a digital driver display — aligning with expectations of modern connected vehicles.

Expected Pricing and Market Position

Toyota hasn’t released official pricing, but industry estimates place the starting figure above USD 50,000, positioning it below luxury rivals like Rivian R1S and Cadillac Vistiq while competing directly with Kia EV9.

For Pakistan, this suggests future imported units could land in the PKR 2.5–3.5 crore bracket, depending on duties and battery size.
