The fourth-generation XU80 Toyota Harrier is set to premiere in June this year, and the TNGA (GA-K) platform-based SUV will debut with petrol and petrol-hybrid variants. Unfortunately, it appears that the 2.0 litre turbocharged petrol engine have been dropped from the new model’s line-up.
Toyota’s range of Dynamic Force engines is deployed here, with the entry-level model receiving the 2.0 litre four-cylinder direct-injection engine that produces 171 PS at 6,600 rpm and 207 Nm at 4,800 rpm. This engine is mated with the company’s latest Direct-Shift CVT.
Meanwhile, the Harrier Hybrid’s primary propulsion comes from the A25A-FXS 2.5 litre four-cylinder direct-injection petrol, which works together with a 120 PS/202 Nm front-axle mounted motor. An all-wheel drive Harrier Hybrid E-Four is also available, which adds on a rear axle-mounted electric motor producing 54 PS and 121 Nm of torque. The standard hybrid’s output is rated at 218 PS, while the E-Four variant is up slightly at 222 PS. Both versions share the same CVT.
In terms of size, the GA-K based Harrier is larger than the previous XU60 Harrier, which rode on the smaller MC platform. The latest five-seater SUV measures 4,740 mm long, 1,855 mm wide and 1,660 mm tall (-30 mm) with a wheelbase of 2,690 mm (+30 mm). The front suspension features a MacPherson strut setup, while the rear gets a double-wishbone layout, with ventilated discs at the front and solid discs at the back. Both 2.0L and 2.5L models sit on massive 19-inch multispoke alloy wheels, shod with 225/55R19 tyres.
On the outside, the Harrier takes on a rather evolutionary styling approach, and features such as the blanked-off upper grille and slim LED headlights (with dual-branched LED DRLs) remain present. The massive lower intake is also carried over, albeit styled in a somewhat subtler fashion. At the back sees the most change, with a new reverse-rake rump and continuous LED tail lights.
Inside, the fourth-gen Harrier looks much neater than before. Dominating features include the new freestanding 12.3-inch wide touchscreen head unit with SmartDeviceLink, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, as well as a T-Connect SD GPS navigation system. Below that are multimedia and HVAC controls, push-start button, and USB port for smart device mirroring.
The driver gets a leather-wrapped three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, and the new instrument panel sports a dual analogue metre that’s separated by a centrally-positioned TFT digital display. Just in front of the gear lever you’ll find the drive mode button, as well as the electronic parking switch. Behind the stick are two cubby bins, and further back is the leather-wrapped centre armrest.
Unique features here, according to Toyota, are the Digital Inner Mirror (basically a front- and rear-facing dashcam recorder), as well as a panoramic sunroof with integrated electrochromatic function. Both technologies are new to Toyota, and the Harrier is the first to receive them.
Additional niceties include sound-absorbing windows, more extensive use of sound deadening and “vibration-controlling” materials, standard leather upholstery, and a nine-speaker JBL sound system. Hybrid models get an additional 1,500-watt, 100-volt AC socket which can power household electrical items, and can also double as a power generator during an emergency or blackout.
For safety, the Harrier comes with Toyota’s latest Toyota Safety Sense suite, comprised of a pre-collision safety system that detects pedestrians both during daytime and at night, as well as cyclists during the day.
There’s also Intelligent Clearance Sonar with Parking Support Brakes which prevents or mitigate low-speed collisions, as well as Active Cornering Assist (ACA), a function that helps reduce understeer when taking corners.
At launch, the new Toyota Harrier will be available in seven exterior colours, and with three flavours to choose from – Z, G and S. These apply for both hybrid and non-hybrid models. So, what do you think?

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
CVT? Direct-shift CVT? Ha ha ha ha.
Lol! This Direct-shift CVT doesn’t have any problem at all
This car is any time more reliable than China and German SUV. Harrier > Volvo, Geely , BMW
Hmmm…..wrong la! It should be Japanese like toyota, mazda, hyundai, german cars and china cars are more reliable than honda and P2
Toyota, Mazda, Hyundai, Kia, German, Volvo, Geely, BMW > Honda
Now hope Malaysia version recycle turbo engine that way we get Turbo and new styling haha
UMW toyota shud CKD this thing , hybrid, full specs, less tax
Agreed!
Hybrid on the way
Mazda CX5 in T’s badge?
1 thing is missing. The eagle Logo. Otherwise, perfect. Meaningful.
But this car still looks perfect
I like it better with the T logo rather than the bird. That logo looks too much of chinese car logo
Harrier is a bird, yup, the bird logo is inside on the door cards though
Better buy Proton X70, Why wait why need harrier.
Better looking.
Better specs.
Cheaper price.
X70 all the way.
Abg2 idam velfire & alfad… toyota all the way
Speaking like someone who can’t tell the difference between MPV and SUV. Well done.
Abg2 idam Velfire, alfad…. toyota all the way
Why exactly the same comment word for word as @passion above and only 3 minutes apart? Our name hijacking troll is at his idiocy again?
No, better buy Toyota Harrier because, it’s toyota, simple! Anywhere you go your pak cik makcik thinks you have made it in life compared to the local made x70 which people will think is as a local car, tak gaya dah
Copy paste:
“Better looking.
Better specs.
Cheaper price.
X70 all the way.”
Love the styling. Really looks Lexus-like from the front and sides, and Jaguar-like from the rear. I hope this will be the new Venza.
Does it look like jaguar styling or look like Lexus? Seems like some of them never research or just bash bash for nothing. I think there are some honda trolls here spending time here during MCO holiday
Direct injection replaces DDVT but still no Turbo. So is a half-baked TNGA product, what a shame …
It’s better without turbo, with turbo it will just be another Lala car like the civic turbo with their cheapskate drivers high beam all the time on highways thinking they bergaya. Without turbo people drive it like a state of art instead of driving it like the other syiok sendiri honda drivers
You dun like low-end torque? Kekekeke
Actually, like a better looking Jaguar F Pace!
But this, doesn’t look like Jaguar? Or even Lexus hmmm…
What’s wrong with Toyota, why do they take the element of fun the Harrier. Put back the 2.0 Turbo engine. If possible give more horses to it some 300++ hp.
The exterior and interior design is nice nevertheless.
Reliability
U dunno, got reliable turbocharger/supercharger car. Drink fuel a bit more. But, I dont care.
Nice
a “very lexus” harrier.
Yea. Even the price now more “Lexus” than “Harrier” dy lor.
Should come out 2.0T. 2.5 Hybrid is useless
Hybrid is also good for environment. This will help to reduce carbon emission and save the earth as well.
The battery is sourced from some poor country with poor labourers. And the disposal of old batteries still bad, so, not really actually saving the environment. The end product, yes. The part where its manufacturing it, no.
Nope! Sometimes it can be turbo problems but depending for car makes. So I think you should know that honda is one of common major problem, in which could cause engine noises and leading cylinder misfires. But there are certain car makes that are reliable.
Even got turbo engine with less problems like: P1, bmw, mercedes, volvo & geely
Engine without turbo: toyota, mazda, hyundai/kia & etc.
CX5-esque.
This car doesn’t look like CX5 bro
Slot nice between Lexus RX and Rav 4. In my humble opinion, it looks more neat than the RX as the lines are claner. Hope UMW will bring it into Malaysia soon. But just hope only….
Yup, but with reasonable pricing. Not a umw cut throat pricing
looks good but did I read correctly? synthetic leather …. c’mon
interior is a yawn fest
High CG, big, heavy, bulky….with 2 liter non-tebo engine, vehicle performance surely as exciting as watching paint dry.
