Today let's talk about the Toyota Harrier.
Toyota Harrier is a 5-passenger mid-size SUV manufactured by Toyota. It is one of the most desired automobiles in Kenya due to its elegant appearance, above-average safety features, and dependability. As much as it boasts the perks of a good car, it is up against the Mitsubishi Outlander, Nissan Murano, Mazda CX-5, Lexus NX, Mercedes Benz GLA, and Honda CRV.
HISTORY
Toyota Harrier manufacture began in 1998 and continues to this day. From March 1998 through December 2008, the Harrier was rebadged as the Lexus RX in foreign countries. Toyota had yet to retail the Lexus brand to Japanese customers at this point.
The second generation of the Toyota Harrier, designated XU30, debuted in 2003, together with the export Lexus variant. It was nearly identical to the Lexus RX during its first and second editions.
The third generation, the XU60, debuted in 2013, as a unique model line built on a platform distinct from the RX.
The fourth-generation Toyota Harrier, designated XU80, was introduced in 2020 and is continuing in production to date.
The XU60, which can be availed as a fresh import or scouted locally, is available with 2 engine options: a 2.0L 3ZR-FAE (Petrol), and a 2.5L 2AR FXE (Hybrid) which is coupled to a 6-speed or an eCVT transmission.
The XU80 has 3 engine options: a 2.0L CVT SUV, a 2.5L Hybrid engine, and a 2.5L Full Hybrid Electric Vehicle.
