JAKARTA - Toyota is preparing to expand its electric car lineup with a big surprise. The Japanese manufacturer shared the first look at the interior of its latest three-row electric SUV, which is scheduled to be officially launched on February 10, 2026.
Although the technical details are still confidential, one thing is certain is that this car is designed for large families who need extra space. It is predicted that Toyota will present an electric version of the Toyota Highlander.
Looking at the latest teaser photos, the direction seems to be clearer. The interior image shows a three-row seat configuration, a big jump, considering Toyota's current largest electric model, the Toyota bZ Woodland, still carries two rows with a length of around 4,831 mm.
In terms of exterior design, this new SUV looks square and very similar to the gasoline-powered Toyota Grand Highlander which is more than 5,080 mm long. For comparison, the standard Highlander is in the range of 4,950 mm.
This means that this latest electric SUV will likely enter the large SUV segment, offering spacious space for children, pets, and shopping goods. As reported by Arena EV, Wednesday, February 4.
Entering the cabin, the modern feel is immediately felt. Toyota attaches a large touchscreen that stands out from the dashboard, similar to the 14-inch screen on the latest bZ and C-HR models that serves to manage music to navigation.
Middle row passengers also have their own temperature control, minimizing AC wars in the car. One of the features that caught the most attention was the large panoramic glass roof, allowing natural light to flood the cabin and make the space feel more spacious.
For production, Toyota plans to build this three-row SUV at its facility in Georgetown, Kentucky, USA. This step is part of Toyota's major strategy to increase the production of electric vehicles in Uncle Sam's country.
The initial plan had led to Indiana, but was diverted to Kentucky to ensure that production capacity was sufficient. Interestingly, Toyota is also preparing a similar version for Subaru at the same factory.
Regarding performance, the official figures for speed and battery life have not yet been announced. However, as an illustration, the bZ Woodland currently carries a power of around 375 hp with a range of approximately 418 km on a single charge.
Because this new SUV is larger in size, it is not impossible for Toyota to supply it with a larger capacity battery to keep the mileage competitive. Interestingly, Toyota chose the NACS charging port, a standard also used by Tesla.
This means that when this SUV is marketed, its owners can take advantage of thousands of fast charging networks throughout the United States. In ideal conditions, charging from 10 percent to 80 percent is claimed to take only about 30 minutes.
