History Of The Toyota Harrier

The first generation Toyota Harrier was launched in 1997 in Japan. In export market, the car was known under the name Lexus RX from March 1998. At this period, the Lexus RX was not available in Japanese Domestic Market. In February 2003 the second generation Toyota Harrier made it debut, along with Lexus version for export market. The third generation model was launched in late 2008. While the Toyota Harrier continued on in second generation unchanged, Lexus version was released as an independent marque. Hence the third generation Lexus RX was available in Japanese Domestic market in the same livery as its export counterpart.

In 2013, Toyota gave to the Harrier a refreshment and turned it into an independent model line built on a different platform from the Lexus RX but keeping a visual connection with the Lexus RX.

Besides the safety features mentioned above, the version offers an infotainment system, and other options like JBL audio system with 11 speakers, navigation system, various types of phone connections and dual-zone climate control.

Toyota Harrier Engine Specs

Toyota Harrier is available with an option of four- and six-cylinder engines, paired with either a five-speed or six-speed transmission. The hybrid version uses a V6 engine and offers a CVT (continuously variable transmission). The drivetrain comes in both front-wheel-drive (FWD) and all-wheel-drive (AWD). Of course the four-cylinder engine versions don’t provide more power than the six-cylinder engine versions, but they are more effective in terms of fuel consumption.

One of the interesting things is that the All-wheel-drive version of the Harrier, lated called Lexus RX, was never introduced as an off-road vehicle. Instead, the Harrier’s AWD system was launched as a safety feature. Driving a Toyota Harrier AWD will consume more fuel but surely it will keep the drivers safe on loose road surfaces and on rough roads, such as gravel and mud.
