Two versions will be offered at launch, with prices starting from RM238,000 (on-the-road price without insurance for private registration).
Bookings for the new Harrier is open at all authorised showrooms from today. Two versions – Harrier 2.0T Luxury and Harrier 2.0T Premium – will be available and will come with Toyota’s advanced Toyota Safety Sens Package for enhanced occupant protection and driving safety.
As with all Toyota models sold in Malaysia by distributor UMW Toyota Motor and its authorised dealers, the Harrier will have nationwide aftersales support including ready parts availability. It will also be backed by a 5-year warranty with unlimited mileage.
The Harrier is a model familiar to Malaysians but until recently, the model line was mainly for the Japanese domestic market. Vehicles sold in other countries were mainly imported privately through independent dealers.
However, with the third generation which was introduced in 2015, Toyota has begun to offer it in selected markets through its official distributors such as UMW Toyota Motor.
The Harrier, to be imported from Japan, and distributed by UMW Toyota Motor from 2018 is characterised by new styling and upgraded features that were made since it was launched. Only UMW Toyota Motor’s sales network will offer the version which has a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine with D-4ST and VVT-iW technology.
The two Toyota C-HR SUV units on display at the show have similar specifications to the one that will be sold in Malaysia.
Also on display will be the new Toyota Innova 2.0X, Toyota Vios SE and one of the cars used in the Vios Challenge One-Make race series.
The Harrier was unveiled at the Malaysia Autoshow, which is being held at Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang near here, from Nov 9-12.
UMW Toyota Motor will also showcase the offroad abilities of the Hilux and Fortuner at an offroad site near the show.
