Overview
- Toyota confirmed a global unveiling on February 10 after releasing official images and video of the upcoming large SUV.
- The latest teaser verifies three rows of seating and highlights features such as second‑row captain’s chairs, a panoramic glass roof, a digital instrument cluster, a large tablet‑style center screen, and USB ports near the C‑pillars.
- Toyota has not disclosed the model’s name or powertrain, with industry reporting linking the design to the 2021 bZ Large concept and suggesting possible Highlander branding, which remains unconfirmed.
- The vehicle is widely associated with Toyota’s previously announced plan to build a three‑row electric SUV in Georgetown, Kentucky, though Toyota has not yet tied this specific model to that production program.
- The model is expected to compete in the growing three‑row electric segment against entries like the Kia EV9, Hyundai Ioniq 9, Cadillac Vistiq, and Rivian R1S, as Toyota’s refreshed bZ EV shows early sales gains that frame the stakes for this launch.
