flag Toyota launches 2027 Highlander EV in North America; Australia may get a right-hand-drive version later.

flag Toyota has launched the 2027 Highlander EV, its largest production electric vehicle, exclusively for North America with no current plans for Australia. flag The EV replaces the current fourth-generation Highlander, which underpins the Australian Kluger HEV. flag Toyota confirms the Kluger HEV will remain available in Australia, sourced from the U.S., but its long-term future is uncertain. flag The new EV uses the flexible TNGA-K platform, which could support future hybrid and internal combustion engine variants. flag A potential path for Australia is the introduction of a right-hand-drive version of the larger, top-selling Grand Highlander, possibly rebadged as a Kluger, with a 2027 facelift seen as a likely timeline. flag This would align Toyota’s Australian offerings with its North American strategy, covering the full-sized three-row SUV segment with multiple powertrains, similar to Hyundai and Kia.
