When it hit Malaysia in April 2021, the fully-imported (CBU Japan) Toyota Harrier (XU80) was a model that hardly got time to warm any showroom floors: UMW Toyota Motor sold out their entire allocation for the year in just a week. It's hardly surprising news, once you've actually seen one up close or get behind the wheel of one. Priced from RM 249,706 (inclusive SST discount, valid until 30-June 2022), buyers get a well-specced car that is beautiful inside and out. But looks alone don't always se

Following the sighted homologation documents, the Toyota Crown Kluger is now officially revealed alongside the fourth-generation Toyota Highlander at the Shanghai Auto 2021. Toyota has two joint venture partners in China, FAW and GAC. The Toyota Crown Kluger will be made by FAW-Toyota while the Toyota Highlander, which the Crown Kluger is based on, is made by GAC-Toyota. The front bumper and grille with the Crown emblem help differentiate the two in terms of exterior styling, but are otherwise l

The previous generation XU60 Toyota Harrier was quite a car. The 2.0-litre VVT-iW 8AR-FTS turbocharged 231 PS / 350 Nm was the best turbocharged 4-cylinder engine on the market, until it was pulled off the showroom floor.

It’s not that the GLC is bad, but if you are shopping for one, stick only to the GLC 250 (re-designated

The Toyota Harrier is considered the daddy (or granddaddy) of the trendy, ever-growing popular crossover SUV segment. With the Malaysian arrival of the all-new Harrier imminent, perhaps you might consider adding a bit more spice to the luxury SUV with this TOM’S bodykit. The latest iteration of the Harrier was launched in Japan in June 2020 with two engine options: a 2.0-litre Dynamic Force M20A-FKS naturally-aspirated 4-cylinder (172 PS/203 Nm) and a 2.5-litre hybrid A25A-FXS engine (218 PS).

According to the latest info from the Japan Automobile Dealers Association (JADA), Toyota is dominating November sales with the Toyota Raize (the basis for the Perodua D55L) and Toyota Harrier both topping the SUV best-sellers chart. With 10,627 units and 9,897 units sold for both the Raize and Harrier respectively, both weren't the top 2 best-selling cars in Japan for last month, however. Instead, that honor belongs to the Toyota Yaris with 19,921 units sold. This sales figure includes models t

The all-new Toyota Harrier made its global debut in Japan back in April, before going on sale two months later. Let's take a closer look at the all-new Toyota Harrier that's earmarked for Malaysia in 2021. 1. What’s new with the Toyota Harrier? Everything’s new. The fourth-generation Toyota Harrier is a completely new model. Like any other modern-day Toyota model, the Harrier is built upon Toyota’s venerable TNGA platform. In the case of the all-new Harrier, it is underpinned by the TNGA-K platf
