Toyota’s 2027 SUV news brings two big stories for two very different kinds of shoppers. The next-generation Toyota Highlander is becoming an all-electric three-row SUV, while the 2027 Toyota Land Cruiser adds more trail-focused hardware and more premium second-row comfort.
The Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid is the efficiency-first choice, while the Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid is the SUV-space-and-AWD choice.

At Nucar Toyota of North Kingstown, we believe that the holidays are a time for community, connection, and spreading joy to those who need it most. We are thrilled to share the success of our recent Nucar Cares initiative supporting the Children’s Friend Spirit of Giving Holiday Drive.
Will the 2026 Toyota RAV4 actually make your cold-weather drives easier this year? Short answer: yes—Toyota confirms an all-new, sixth-generation RAV4 arriving this winter, with a hybrid-only lineup (Hybrid or Plug-In Hybrid) and available Electronic On-Demand AWD.¹
