Toyota Unveils First Three-Row All-Electric SUV, the Highlander EV, in North America

The GAC Toyota Highlander, long regarded as the benchmark for seven-seat SUVs in China, has won widespread popularity among family users thanks to its well-balanced performance, high reliability, and strong resale value. Recently, its all-new all-electric version made its global debut in North America, becoming Toyota’s first three-row all-electric SUV—a significant milestone in the brand’s electrification transformation. The new electric model retains the Highlander’s core strengths of spacious practicality and dependable stability while fully integrating electrified and intelligent features. Externally, it showcases sharp character lines and tech-inspired lighting design that highlight its electric identity, yet maintains the robust, commanding presence synonymous with the Highlander. Details like semi-flush door handles and a two-tone body finish blend traditional utility with contemporary design cues from the new energy vehicle segment. Globally, the Highlander has accumulated sales exceeding 4.5 million units and has consistently ranked among the top-selling midsize SUVs in North America.
