The latests Harrier sports a more chiselled front end, side profiles that are an equivalent of being athletically-well toned, and a sloping rear end that presents a coupe styling.

Larger than its predecessor, and with a lower and more pronounced stance, the all-new Harrier presents an even more dynamic and expressive exterior silhouette in line with its "Dignified Elegance" concept.

The latest Harrier is powered by Toyota’s latest Dynamic Force (M20A-FKS) 2-litre 4-clinder DOHC engine with Dual VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing with intelligence) that operates electronically for quicker response. The engine produces 171hp at 6,600rpm and peak torque of 203Nm from 4,400rpm-4,900rpm.

It is the most advanced version of the system developed by Toyota engineers since it was introduced 30 years ago.

A Direct Shift Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with Sequential Shiftmatic, allows the seamless shifting of gears, providing three drive modes – ECO, Normal and Sport.

Optimised front and rear suspension geometry meanwhile, complements the Harrier’s rigid structure making it well-balanced, reassuring, predictable, yet still capable of graceful pace.

Built on the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) GA-K platform, the Harrier is engineered with a highly rigid body structure with a lower center of gravity in pursuit of ride comfort, agility and greater vehicle driving performance.

The all-new Harrier has a width and wheelbase that is up by 20mm and 30mm respectively, while the height has been reduced by 30mm. The vehicle is perched on 18 inch alloys.

Features have been stepped up in the all-new Harrier which boasts an extensive suite of safety and security equipment via Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) technologies.

The Harrier’s more pronounced front end is defined by new Bi-LED headlamps with long slits that give it a sharp yet wide impression.

Its L-shaped Daytime Running Lights provide a strong and distinctive visual signature apart from enhancing daytime visibility.
