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.

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, a sound, display, and slow deceleration warning will prompt the driver to take action, and a hazard and horn will alert the driver to abnormalities outside the vehicle. The vehicle decelerates and stops within its own lane while alerting the driver, helping to avoid accidents that cause injury or damage to the vehicle, and reduce accident damage.

New Harrier Partially improved Price Grade

The biggest change in this partially improved model is the discontinuation of the “G “Leather Package” for gasoline and hybrid vehicles. Furthermore, when comparing the same grade, prices have increased by 108,000 to 138,000 yen, reflecting the effects of the weaker yen and improvements.

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. The complete safety equipment and latest equipment make it a reliable vehicle.

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 has kept the same concept.

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 lights) 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” are available with a “Leather Package” that uses genuine leather for the seats. . 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 and 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 grade “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)” for “G” grades and above . It also features an electrostatic heater control panel that allows touch control of the air conditioner and audio. The interior uses synthetic leather in three 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

New Harrier equipment list

The new 4th generation “Harrier” will be equipped with the ” next generation Toyota Safety Sense, ” which will significantly add functionality and improve safety. “Pre-crash safety” allows pedestrians and bicycles to be recognized at night , “Lane Departure Alert” increases road detection items, and “Lane Tracing Assist” allows drivers to drive in the center of the same lane when using radar cruise control. , assists the driver with steering operations, reducing the burden on the driver .

Road Sign Assist displays road signs (“Speed ​​Limit”, “Stop”, “No Entry”, “No Extrusion”) on the instrument panel to prevent you from forgetting to look at them.

” Blind spot monitor (rear vehicle approach warning) ” , which is currently a tributary, is not used in older models, but is included in the new model. Rear Cross Traffic Alert, which uses a similar sensor, can detect vehicles behind and reduce rear-end collisions. More than meets the eye, the third and fourth generations have made significant advances.
