Getting To Know The Next Generation 2027 Highlander

When a new vehicle model is released, it is common for the manufacturer to tout it as the perfect new choice for buyers from Birmingham and Chelsea. However, in the case of the soon-to-arrive 2027 Highlander, that description might be genuinely accurate. The focus and effort that went into the remodel of the Highlander were on far more than simply designing an eye-catching, visually appealing SUV. This all-electric three-row SUV is loaded with features and technology, offering the ideal combination for buyers who simply want it all from one vehicle. And the team of new vehicle sales experts at Toyota of Sylacauga is excited to share the information they have about this new arrival.

Setting The Bar For Mid-Size SUVs

The goal, as defined by David Christ, the group VP and GM of Toyota Motor North America, was to lead the mid-size SUV segment. Those who have received an early review of the 2027 Highlander say the goal was certainly achieved, and in a very impressive manner. The modern look features clean lines, a broad, bold SUV with LED daytime running lights and exceptional attention to detail, as emphasized by the flush door handles for increased aerodynamics. Even the optional fixed-glass panoramic roof makes an impact from the exterior and keeps the interior feeling bright, spacious, and airy. All three rows of passengers will love the natural light during the day and the option for ambient lighting in the evening.

An Engineering Marvel

The 2027 Highlander will offer up to 338 combined horsepower and 198 foot-pounds of torque. Models are available in front-wheel or all-wheel drive and have a maximum range of 320 miles per charge. And charging is even easier now with the addition of the North American Charging System Port, providing access to thousands of DC fast charging stations across the United States. In addition, your new 2027 Highlander can be called upon in times of difficulty to serve as a backup power source for your home or another location in the event of an emergency, thanks to vehicle-to-load technology. When you include the Bi-Directional Accessories with your 2027 Highlander purchase, it is ready to serve as backup power for your home during a power failure or power other items if you are off the grid.

Creature Comforts And Versatility

Inside the Highlander, you will find three rows of seating that seat up to seven passengers. SofTex-trimmed seating and soft-touch materials are standard throughout, as are heated front seats. Buyers in Talladega and Childersburg will also appreciate that they can include ventilated seating and heated second row seats. The functionality of the third-row seating becomes apparent when you discover that it folds flat to create a cavernous cargo area, providing more than 45 cubic feet of space. But even with all of this space and capability, understand that the team at Toyota never forgot that this vehicle also needs to be enjoyable and fun to drive.

The Primary Objective

While you might think the Highlander’s wide body was only to add visual appeal, it also helps create a more stable vehicle. That width and the lower center of gravity allow the Highlander to hug the road, offer responsiveness, and exceptional handling on the open road or when off-road. And thanks to the instant power and torque from the battery power plant, drivers get instant power with a light touch of the accelerator.
