YouTube Video RkxFQVRQOTVOTTdpRVJFWEJnRF94VFFRLkI3Nzk1NThFODdDQTJFRkQ Toyota just changed the Highlander forever.

In this first walk-around from California, Nik Miles takes a close look at the all-new 2027 Toyota Highlander EV — Toyota’s first fully electric three-row SUV built for the United States.

This isn’t a concept. It’s real. And it’s being built in America.

• Vehicle assembly: Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky
• Battery production: North Carolina
• Three rows, family-focused practicality
• Estimated range up to 320 miles
• 95.8 kWh battery pack

Toyota says this Highlander EV is about family usability, not futuristic theatre. Seven seats. Real cargo space. Real American production. And a serious step into Toyota’s next electric chapter.

Is this the electric SUV families have been waiting for?
Is Toyota late to EVs… or strategically right on time?

Nik breaks it down.

Toyota Just Did WHAT?! 2027 Highlander Goes Fully Electric (Built in America)

Concept cars usually shout. This one explains.

The BMW Vision Neue Klasse isn’t about wild shapes or sci-fi theater—it’s a roadmap. This is BMW showing what the next generation of electric cars will actually prioritize: simplicity, efficiency, software intelligence, and a very different relationship between the driver and the machine.

From the stripped-back exterior design to an interior that replaces traditional screens with a panoramic display and centralized intelligence, Neue Klasse signals a reset. Fewer gimmicks. Fewer distractions. More clarity.

BMW says this concept previews the architecture, design language, and digital systems that will define its electric vehicles for the next decade. And unlike many concepts, much of what you see here is intended for production.

So this isn’t just “what the future looks like.”
It’s how BMW plans to build it.

This might be the most subtle—and slightly unsettling—driver-assist feature BMW has ever released.

Filmed in Portugal, this is the BMW i5 M60, and it can change lanes automatically just by tracking your eye movement. Look at the side mirror, confirm with your gaze, and the car does the rest—smoothly, confidently, and without drama.

This isn’t a gimmick. It’s BMW’s next step in human-machine interaction, blending eye-tracking technology with advanced driver assistance systems to reduce workload while keeping the driver firmly in control.

Beyond the tech, the i5 M60 delivers proper M-level performance, a refined electric drivetrain, and the kind of calm stability you expect from BMW’s flagship electric sedan. The real story, though, is how naturally this technology fades into the background once you trust it.

This is not hands-off driving. It’s intent-aware driving.
This BMW Changes Lanes by Reading Your Eyes (Seriously)

Marconi fully commits to the chaos by cutting even more isolated clips of Nik and Trish just to play them wildly out of context. Nik is bravely adjusting to “freezing” temps in the 20s and announces he has officially entered thermal underwear season, while Marconi checks in from Chicago at a casual 8 degrees and is absolutely not impressed. Plus, a full round of your questions in Ask Test Miles and a breakdown of the latest automotive news headlines, with the usual side of chaos. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
