Toyota has delayed the launch of its electric Highlander SUV. The vehicle was expected to arrive soon as the company prepares to retire the current gasoline-powered Highlander.
The timing of the delay is particularly awkward. With the gas model being discontinued, the postponement could leave a gap in Toyota's lineup and complicate its broader electrification plans.
The report describes this as a more serious issue than a simple schedule slip. While the exact nature of the problem is not detailed, it suggests the delay has wider implications for Toyota's transition to electric vehicles.
