New Toyota Harrier Had Import To Malaysia.

Toyota has released images of the next generation Toyota Harrier, ahead of its scheduled debut at Tokyo motor show later this year. As we can see from the pictures, the SUV’s design is influenced by the 2013 Lexus RX. It is no surprise, considering both the models have a history of being virtually identical.

The first and second generation Toyota Harrier were also sold as Lexus RX in some markets. However, by the time the third generation model came along, the Harrier nameplate was dropped and the model is currently only available as a Lexus.

However, the return of the Harrier nameplate suggests that Toyota may re-introduce the dual-branding (Toyota and Lexus) approach for the model.

The all-new Harrier features an aggressive front, the prominent grill and large air intake mimics the Toyota Avalon sedan. The SUV is given a rather complex rear window arrangement, slender taillights, and a sportier tailgate with an integrated spoiler. It still retains some of the accustomed design elements from the outgoing model such as the tilted C-pillar.

There is no word on what powertrains will power the SUV, but judging from the badge on the picture above, we know there will be at least one eco-friendly variant. Toyota has not released any pictures of the interior. So we’ll have to wait some time until more pictures arise.
