School-day carpools. Spontaneous coastal drives. Weekend plans that require every seat. The upcoming Toyota Highlander EV is ready to bring fresh energy to your family’s routine, pairing all-electric capability with the versatility that makes a three-row SUV such a welcome driveway addition.
For drivers around San Diego, Lemon Grove, El Cajon, and La Mesa, California, there’s plenty to get excited about. At Norm Reeves Toyota San Diego, we’re taking a closer look at the electric performance, inviting interior, and connected technology coming to this next-generation Highlander.
Your plans deserve a little breathing room. Toyota lists a manufacturer-estimated driving range of 315 miles for Highlander XLE AWD and Limited AWD models equipped with the 95.8-kWh battery.¹ That gives shoppers an exciting configuration to consider for weekday commuting, family outings, and adventures beyond their usual exit.
Highlander’s smart technology also aims to make battery electric vehicle ownership feel approachable. Level 2 charging offers a convenient way to replenish the battery at home with compatible equipment. Plug in after the day’s activities, and let charging become part of your routine.
Even checking charging progress gets a clever touch. An indicator within the full-width LED headlights projects a visual state of charge, letting you see the Highlander’s charge level at a glance. According to The Verge’s Highlander EV coverage, the upcoming Highlander marks Toyota’s first three-row electric vehicle for the U.S. market².
Some cabins simply get everyone there. This one gives everyone something to enjoy along the way. The available fixed panoramic roof, described by Toyota as its largest yet, brings an expansive view of the sky to passengers in all three rows. From sunny afternoon errands to scenic weekend drives, it helps the cabin feel bright and open.
Standard second-row captain’s chairs or available bench seating let you choose a layout that fits your crew. Prefer individual second-row seats? The captain’s chairs create personal space, while one-touch power-fold buttons make accessing the third row easier. Need room for another passenger? Explore the available bench configuration.
Available rear sunshades add another thoughtful touch, giving passengers extra privacy during the drive. Together, these features make Highlander’s interior feel ready for changing schedules, growing families, and the occasional extra teammate joining the ride home.
A great family SUV should make connecting feel simple. Highlander introduces Toyota’s newest Audio Multimedia system through a 14-inch touchscreen display, giving your everyday essentials a prominent place in the cabin.
Customize the way you interact with the system, then connect a compatible smartphone through wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. Directions, music, and supported apps can accompany your drive without requiring a USB connection for smartphone integration.
Convenience continues before you settle into the driver’s seat. Highlander features Digital Key capability alongside a 5-door Smart Key System to simplify access to the doors and rear hatch and help you get underway. With a compatible iPhone®, Apple Watch®, or Android™ device, Digital Key offers another way to access and operate your vehicle. Device compatibility, setup, and applicable connected-service requirements should be confirmed before use.
Start with the XLE AWD or Limited AWD equipped with the 95.8-kWh battery. Toyota lists a 315-mile manufacturer-estimated range for these configurations, making them worth comparing if driving range is high on your shopping list.
Choose the standard captain’s chairs if you value individual second-row seating and convenient third-row access through the one-touch power-fold function. The available bench is worth exploring if carrying an additional passenger is a bigger priority.
Highlander supports Level 2 charging with compatible equipment. Before arranging installation, have a qualified professional assess your home’s electrical setup and discuss the equipment needed for your charging plans.
Picture your next family outing with electric energy, room for your favorite people, and technology that keeps the day moving. The upcoming Toyota Highlander EV brings plenty to anticipate.
