The delivery time from now rises up to 5 months because of the very high demand and orders placed.
Launched in the middle of April this year, the most recent generation of the Toyota Harrier is a real success on the Japanese Market, the company releasing recently the fact that in the first month they had over 45.000 orders which is over 15 times the expected order number for the Japanese Market.
News like these even though they sound very good have bad sides too, like the fact that if you ordered the car you’ll have to wait over 20 weeks to receive the keys for the ordered vehicle.
Assembled on the TNGA-K platform used even by the actual RAV4, the most recent generation of the Toyota Harrier is available in 2 variants.
The first one packs up a 2 liter petrol engine with approximately 171 horsepower, and the other variant packs under the hood a 2.5 liter petrol engine along with an electric motor that sum up together to a total of 218 horsepower.
The vehicle also comes standard with CVT transmission along with 2 options, the first being Front-Wheel Drive and the second being All-Wheel Drive being available on both the 2 liter as well as the 2.5 liter variant.
The interior of the Harrier has advanced a lot this time. The dashboard architecture was taken from the new models made by Toyota, previously released and the designer claims that the Harrier has better quality materials used into making the seats and the leather covers in the car. With the vehicle comes the Standard Active Safety System from Toyota Safety Sense with automatic emergency braking and lane assist, and a new feature on this model is the panoramic roof that comes as an optional on the new Harrier.
The infotainment system has also been changed more esthetically than otherwise meaning it has a bigger multimedia console and a bigger touchscreen positioned horizontally.
So, the Harrier distinguishes itself a lot from the other SUVs in its category, also having a new tail-light formed by a horizontal LED strip and aggressive looking headlights, the main engineer that worked on this model said that this is an optimal balance in between comfort and drive feel, most of the technology already being manufactured on the RAV4 that has proven to be way better than its predecessors.
