The third generation of Harrier showed: there is no need for a further increase in size. Despite a slight decrease in size, this crossover from Toyota was already quite spacious - in the cabin of the new Harrier, the space between the front and rear row of seats added 47 mm, and the luggage compartment increased by 17 liters and now amounts to 456 liters. Such an important parameter as the minimum turning radius decreased from 5.7 to 5.3 meters. Work on design and technology further transformed the novelty. As a result, Harrier acquired a rather aggressive appearance, began to look more expensive and better inside. The noble interior combines luxury and simplicity at the same time with a pronounced hint of sportiness. Many decisions are inspired by the spirit of innovation. The center console is equipped with a huge display of the multimedia system, and the buttons of the dual-zone climate control panel also become touch-sensitive - for example, to adjust the temperature, just slide your finger up or down on the scale. The standard for all cars was the night illumination of an unobtrusive blue interior in the area of ​​legs, sills and controls.
 The third-generation Toyota Harrier is still offered in front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions (hybrid - only 4WD) and in three trim levels: Elegance, Grand and Premium. The latter also offers an advanced equipment option (Advanced Package). The owner of this advanced configuration - in addition to the standard 18-inch alloy wheels and 235/55 tires, which rely on the standard premium version; separate climate control and high-end audio systems; an extended power package, including an electric drive for the back door, sunroof and front seats - you will be pleased with such solutions as marking control, active sonars in front and behind, an intelligent keyless entry system or adaptive cruise control that tracks passing vehicles, as well as a leather interior, three review cameras and a multimedia system with a hard drive. However, a significant part of this list is also offered for the Grand version as available options.

 If we talk about engines, then, first of all, it is noteworthy that the third Harrier no longer has a version with V6. And the initial engine is now a two-liter - this is perhaps one of the main distinguishing features of the new generation. However, it should be noted that in terms of power density Harrier with a base 3ZR-FAE capacity of 151 liters. with. although it doesn’t sparkle with accelerating dynamics, it doesn’t look like a wimp either: 10.46 kg is horsepower, which is only half a kilogram more than the 2.4-liter 160-horsepower modification of the previous generation. The hybrid version is much more powerful - its 2.5-liter Atkinson cycle 2AR-FXE gasoline engine has a power of 152 hp, and a 105-kilowatt electric motor for the front axle and a power of 50 kW for the rear axle bring power to the total output up to 197 l. with. The hybrid can move both in normal mode and in fully electric mode (for this, a special button to turn off the gasoline engine is provided on the console).

 An alternative to the transmission is not provided - only the variator. The third-generation Harrier suspension is equipped with adaptive shock absorbers, and the electronic control system allows you to change the damping characteristics while driving, depending on the driving mode selected by the driver. All this is done to maintain excellent stability of movement, the most efficient braking and cornering. In addition, in the hybrid versions, an additional control system is used, which, in accordance with the roughness of the road, changes the engine torque in real time in order to extinguish the buildup of the body and ensure the most smooth movement. The set of safety systems of the new Harrier surpasses both previous generations both in the number of systems and equipment, and in their quality. The standard for all versions was a complete set of airbags, active head restraints, a special design of the front of the body to reduce the consequences of a collision with pedestrians, a body of extra strength with omnidirectional stiffness. Of the active equipment, there are ABS with EBD, an electronic stability control system, an auxiliary braking system, and in addition - an uphill assist system, LED headlights with adaptive lighting, and LED rear optics: a brake light, fog lamp, combined taillights . In the expensive versions, it should be noted an even wider range of electronic driver assistants that prevent collisions, collision with pedestrians, exit from the lane, etc. P.

 Despite the recent birth, the third Harrier has already become a noticeable phenomenon in the secondary market - plus it has an outstanding design, incredibly rich equipment and, most importantly, a significant reputation, won by previous generations. Of the entire offer, the maximum price for the hybrid versions is still cars since 2014.
