Toyota Delays 2027 Highlander EV As Demand For Gas Model Remains Robust

• Toyota is delaying the 2027 Highlander EV.
• The automaker said the model will get some additional adjustments ahead of launch.
• Sales of the current gas and hybrid Highlander have been robust, which may explain the hold-up.

Toyota's electric vehicle offensive has been strong this year, with three new or refreshed models now available stateside. The automaker now sells the updated bZ, the new C-HR, and the bZ Woodland, which all have mechanically similar Subaru siblings. Lexus, too, has gotten a new electric model, the ES, with another that's supposed to launch toward the end of the year.
