"For 2027, if customers would like battery electric, we have the Highlander, and if they prefer gas, hybrid or hybrid Max, we have the Grand Highlander," a Toyota spokesperson confirmed at an event in Ojai, California, on Tuesday.

I think this is a smart move to make the Highlander EV since you have the Rav4 and Grand Highlander hybrids, you don't need another hybrid SUV, especially when they have 4Runner and Land Cruiser and Sequoia hybrids. A big reason EV's don't sell is they make the, look quirky or super futuristic or like a space ship or something thinking that is what early adopters wants, and then they dish out terrible names like bZ4x. If you really want to sell EV's, you make it look generic and use a proven name like Highlander. People coming back that have owned 3 Highlanders in the past will probably buys this just because they buy Highlanders.

The kind of change we need in EVERY American city, but won't get.

The Heated Rivalry series has buried deep into my brain. The music causes feelings because I associate it with scenes in the show. This playlist has been on repeat for basically 2 months.

My understanding is the Grand will continue for a while as the gas powered option. That said, I kinda like this based on pics, but it depends on the interior quality which has been lacking in Toyotas lately. It's got the range required.

Good morning ... Not versed enough in local politics, but she seems like more of a rag than not.

Since there is no mention from Toyota about a 2027 Grand Highlander, the dealerships have indicated it is dead and that would be on par with the released information where the 2027 Highlander is equal in length with a longer wheelbase than the Grand Highlander. The Highlander EV has a longer wheelbase, contributing to its larger interior dimensions. The Highlander EV is designed to be a spacious and comfortable vehicle, with the ability to accommodate up to eight passengers, including adults in the third row. The Grand Highlander, on the other hand, offers more cargo capacity and a more traditional SUV design, making it suitable for those who prefer a larger vehicle with more space for cargo than passengers. Per Toyota press release. I would not be surprised to see them produce the Grand Highlander for 2026 and kill it since no 2027 model has been announced. This lets the 2027 Highlander EV take over since it is a 3 row EV with adults in the third row unlike the current Grand Highlander that is kids only in the 3rd row. Kia EV9 and Hyundai Ioniq 9 are clearly direct competitors for this. Yet with the Toyota Name, I expect many will make the jump to the Highlander EV.
