2027 Toyota Highlander shown above with optional equipment.
Automotive enthusiasts in the Grimes area have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of the 2027 Toyota Highlander, and we are ready to oblige by providing the latest information! As you prepare to greet this thrilling model, learn more about its innovative engineering and sophisticated accommodations. Our helpful staff at Toyota of Des Moines can’t wait to introduce you to this electric midsize SUV as soon as it debuts.
Performance
Built on the dependable TNGA-K platform, the Highlander boasts a 320-mile maximum driving range1. Initial reports reveal that this model’s base trim employs a standard 77.0-kWh battery that supplies 221 horsepower and 198 lb.-ft. of torque. The available 95.8-kWh battery is estimated to produce 338 horsepower and 323 lb.-ft. of torque, giving your Highway 141 commute an extra burst of energy. While a FWD setup is expected to be standard, you can look forward to venturing off the beaten path with the optional AWD system. You will have the freedom to replenish the Highlander’s battery at home or on the go, since it is compatible with Level 1 and Level 2 cords, along with the DC Fast Charging Station grid.
Interior
Within its three spacious rows, the 2027 Toyota Highlander will have room for up to seven passengers. Depending on your preferences, you can furnish the second row with a standard pair of captain’s chairs or an available bench seat. A heating function is standard for the front chairs and steering wheel, so frigid winter weather won’t leave you stranded at home. This model can be crowned with an optional fixed panoramic roof, enabling you to let in natural light on the way to Pointe Vista Park for a truly relaxing experience. Our team at Toyota of Des Moines would also like to make note of the Highlander’s standard 64-color customizable ambient lighting, an exciting feature that allows the driver to choose mood-appropriate themes for every road trip.
Technology
Once you get behind the wheel of the Highlander, a standard 14.0-inch touchscreen will serve as your control center for music and maps. You won’t have to mediate arguments over who gets to plug in their device first, as this model is reported to include standard USB ports2 in each row and a dual wireless charging tray3. Vehicle settings will be shown on the standard 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, but you can easily maintain your focus on the road by allowing the available Head-Up Display to project notifications onto the windshield. As you travel, the standard built-in Drive Recorder can automatically capture footage to promote safety. When the Highlander arrives at our nearby location, you can schedule a test drive to get hands-on experience with its advanced features!

“ We couldn’t have been happier with our experience working with Eli Walters at Toyota of Des Moines. He was incredibly easy to work with, patient, and informative throughout the entire process. Eli took the time to make sure all of our questions were answered and never made us feel pressured. Although we ultimately decided not to purchase the vehicle (a personal choice that had nothing to do with Eli), I still felt compelled to write this review because our experience with him was so positive. If you’re looking for someone knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely helpful, I highly recommend asking for Eli! ”

If I could give Justin a worse score I would.
“ If I could give Justin a worse score I would. I had at least two bad interactions where Justin had dismissed my concerns. But one time I confronted him after he dismissed my concerns again. Two weeks later coming back in for the concerns I had expressed he again proved that his customer service skills had not improved and AGAIN dismissed my concerns. If I decide to use Toyota of Des Moines in the future, I will purposely ask to not have Justin. Even after my 10/10 bad experience with Justin, Brock came in and really turned the experience around. He listened to my concerns and explained them to me. He went above and beyond what he needed to do. So thank you Brock. ”

No issue other than trying to sell me a 20$ cabin filter
“ No issue other than trying to sell me a 20$ cabin filter for 70$. That’s an outrageous ripoff. Went to auto parts store and bought a k&n lifetime filter for 50$. Probably going to get my oil changed somewhere else from now on… ”
Had my car towed to Toyota on a Monday.
“ Had my car towed to Toyota on a Monday. I had Tuesday off from work - waiting for a call all day. I finally called at 4:30 pm car still not looked at was told next appointment opening was next Monday!? So I have no car and I needed to get to work and expecting a grandbaby any day! Thursday I finally get a call with what needs to be done which was a lot for a 2004 car. Had Friday off so I was planning to figure things out the next day? No one told me it was drivable (which it was) so I'm thinking probably need to get a new car?? I had to work till 9 pm on Thursday (had to find a ride) and grandbaby on the way (had to find a ride to the hospital) spent all night at the hospital and all day Friday. Called Toyota to plead for a loaner so I could get to work and be mobile the answer was "no" if you are trying to sell cars that is not the way to do it! So I rented a car because I needed to get to work Saturday, Sunday, and Monday 300 dollars and I owe Toyota 500 for just looking at the car! I had Tuesday off so I called Monday to see what needed to be fixed to make it drivable so I could get it home or to another dealership! That's when they told me it was drivable!?!? Seriously!! That would of been nice to know 4 days ago!! Only help I got was a ride to Toyota to pay my bill! I told them, when paying my bill, that it would of been nice to know my car was drivable because I rented a car! No "I'm sorry" nothing! ”
