Equipped with the latest preventive safety package “Toyota Safety Sense”
“ Low speed acceleration suppression function ”, ` `detection of oncoming vehicles and pedestrians when turning right at an intersection ”, and “ emergency steering avoidance support function ” have been added. At low speeds, the low speed acceleration suppression function detects pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles directly in front of the vehicle and suppresses acceleration. It can also detect oncoming vehicles when turning right at an intersection, as well as pedestrians crossing from the opposite direction when turning left or right. An emergency steering avoidance support function that assists steering in response to the driver’s avoidance steering during an emergency.
Proactive Driving Assist: By anticipating risks depending on the driving situation, such as when a pedestrian crosses or when a pedestrian might jump out, the system supports driving operations to avoid getting too close to danger, giving the driver peace of mind. . Furthermore, by supporting deceleration operations for vehicles in front and curves in front, and reducing the need for frequent pedal changes, the system gently supports the driver in driving situations such as on public roads.
Curve speed control function Radar cruise control (with full vehicle speed tracking function) controls acceleration and deceleration to maintain a constant distance to the vehicle in front within a set vehicle speed on expressways, etc., and adjusts speed according to the size of the curve. Added curve speed suppression function that decelerates in advance.
Lane Tracing Assist [LTA] system for responding to driver abnormalities.If the driver remains inactive during control, the system prompts the driver to take action with audible, visual, and slow deceleration warnings, and alerts the driver of abnormalities outside the vehicle with a hazard and a horn. The vehicle decelerates and stops within the vehicle’s own lane while providing warnings, helping to avoid accidents that cause damage to the vehicle or cause injury, and reduce accident damage.

What I think about the new Harrier
For Toyota, the Harrier is a crossover SUV in the Japanese market, and is a model with high sales potential. This time, Toyota has successfully evolved, and by changing the interior and adding a powertrain, it becomes a model that feels more evolved than it looks when you drive it. It is a reliable vehicle with a full range of safety equipment and the latest equipment. I’ve talked about a lot of things, but the new Harrier is sure to become a hot topic the moment it goes on sale in September, and there’s no doubt that many people will be surprised by the unfamiliar design of the full LCD digital meter . I’m looking forward to the release in about two months.
As has been reported, the delivery time for the Harrier is extremely long, and due to the upcoming partial improvements, existing orders must be completed after the improvements have been made, so orders are being changed. The “Harrier PHV” to be released this time is a newly added model, so there are no orders for the previous model. Therefore, if you are about to place an order, there is a high possibility that your order will be quicker if you order the Harrier PHV right away. However, of course, since the production volume of PHVs and delivery times are expected to be long in the first place, it is difficult to examine the extent of the difference. However, there is no doubt that PHVs are very attractive in terms of driving performance and fuel efficiency. If you are considering purchasing from now on, please include it as a candidate.
About the new Harrier full model change
Toyota has undergone a full model change of the new Harrier , which was announced on April 13, 2020 and released on June 17. This is the first full model change in about seven years (six and a half years), and the exterior design remains the same concept.
Adopts TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture) “TNGA-K platform”.
Adopts a sophisticated “traditional front grille”. The headlights have a sharper shape and feature two L-shaped DRL (daytime running light) signature lamps, emphasizing individuality and innovation.
“Rear combination lamp” that shines horizontally.
The next generation “Toyota Safety Sense” is standard on all models.
Adopts a new engine “Inline 4-cylinder 2.5L direct injection engine D-4S (Dynamic Force Engine)”. + Equipped with a “High Performance Multi-Stage THSⅡ” hybrid system.
Upper grades “Z” and higher are equipped with the “12.3-inch wide touch screen T-Connect SD navigation system.”
You can tell it’s a Harrier the moment you see it, but it has a more sophisticated traditional front grille. The “Chuuhi” hawk emblem used on past Harriers has been abolished , and the “Toyota emblem” has been adopted. The headlights have a sharper shape and feature two L-shaped DRL (daytime running light) signature lamps, emphasizing individuality and innovation. Adopts LED headlights (Adaptive High Beam System [AHS]).
Although the vehicle has a simple structure, the side view of the body dynamically changes its cross section, creating a rich expression and a strong sense of movement. The rear has an elegant coupe form, and the rear combination lamp & LED high-mount stop lamp (Z “Leather Package”, standard equipment on Z) shines in a thin, sharp, horizontal line like the Lexus “ UX ” and “ Cayenne Coupe.” Adopt this to give it a sense of presence. A total of 7 colors are available, mainly colors with reduced saturation. The body color is “Precious Black Pearl” and uses “Self-Restoring Coat”, a painting technology that automatically repairs scratches on the painted surface . , it is possible to obtain more interior space than the previous model. By adopting a newly developed platform that achieves high aerodynamic performance, it achieves a “lower center of gravity” and “1.78 times increase in body rigidity”, making it a significant evolution from the previous model. The suspension uses a MacPherson strut type at the front and a double wishbone type at the rear . Through thorough driving and repeated tuning, we have pursued a “ride taste” that combines solidity and suppleness. In order to improve the convergence of the vehicle’s behavior the moment it starts running or when driving at high speeds, we have adopted a ” shock absorber ” that ensures smooth stroke movement even at extremely low speeds . To improve quietness, many vibration-damping and sound-insulating materials are used in the engine room, under the floor, around the doors, front and rear liners, and in the passenger compartment, aiming for a “high quality, elegant, urban style” (MIYABI) ride. It was a taste. The second generation of “Next Generation Toyota Safety Sense” is installed as standard on all models .
Grades include “Z”, “G”, and “S” for “gasoline vehicles” and “hybrid vehicles”.“Z” and “G” have a “Leather Package” with seats made of genuine leather. . The downsized turbo “2.0L turbo engine 8AR-FTS” will be discontinued.
The gasoline engine is equipped with a “Dynamic Force Engine equipped with an inline 4-cylinder 2.0L direct injection engine” + “Direct Shift-CVT,” which achieves the same maximum thermal efficiency of 40% or more as the new “ RAV4 .” The hybrid model uses the same in-line 4-cylinder 2.5L direct injection D-4S “Dynamic Force Engine” as the new Camry , and the compact and lightweight hybrid system “High Performance Multi-Stage THS II” to improve fuel efficiency. JC08 mode fuel efficiency: 21.4km/L to 24.0km/L .
It comes standard with “8.0-inch display audio ” and uses “Apple CarPlay” and “Android Auto.” A dedicated communication device DCM is installed as standard on all vehicles, and T-Connect service is provided free of charge for three years. The optional “12.3-inch wide touch screen T-Connect SD navigation system” is installed on the upper grades “Z” and above. The steering wheel and meters are equipped with an “Optitron twin-lens meter” and a “multi-information display (7-inch TFT color)” on “G” grades and above . It also features an electrostatic heater control panel that allows touch control of the air conditioner and audio. The interior comes in three synthetic leather colors: black, brown, and gray, and genuine leather in two colors, black and brown. This is Toyota’s first adoption of a “panoramic roof with electric shade” that uses dimming glass. (Z “Leather Package”, manufacturer option for Z)
“Electric parking brake & hold” is adopted around the shift knob of the new Harrier. The fact that it is placed in a position where you can press the “Hold” button at the same time as the “Engine Start Button” is very typical of Toyota.
The interior features the Chuuhi hawk logo that was used on past Harriers . The accelerator pedal uses an organ type. Panasonic’s “NanoE
