Since FAW Toyota disclosed the information that the new generation of Toyota Harrier will be made in China, this Toyota version of Lexus RX, which had little contact with the Chinese market, has also become the focus of attention in the domestic market in the recent period.
This matter is actually very understandable. Judging from the strong performance of Japanese cars in the Chinese market in recent years, such a brand new Toyota SUV will be made in China soon, and it will inevitably attract the greatest attention.
A few days ago, the new generation of Toyota Harrier officially released official pictures and related information. Judging from the information that has been exposed so far, the new generation of Toyota Harrier seems to be positioned to reduce dimensionality.
On the whole, the new generation of Toyota Harrier still retains the same small fastback top design as the previous generations of Toyota Harrier. Through the rapid dive of the window frame line in the C-pillar area, it visually forms a low and Smooth tops image. However, compared with the current Harrier, the proportion of the rear of the new generation Toyota Harrier in the distribution of the vehicle’s visual center of gravity has been reduced.
In terms of details, the new generation of Toyota Harrier also uses relatively complicated surface changes to form the main shape of the vehicle. On the rear shoulder, the new-generation Toyota Harrier uses a surface change similar to that of the current Lexus NX, creating a light and shadow that echoes the skirt line in the area from the rear taillight to the outer handle of the rear door. In the area of the front fenders, the new car uses a whole clean and rounded surface to form.
It is obvious that the new generation of Toyota Harrier adopts a curved surface change method starting from the front of the car and converging toward the rear of the car in terms of shaping the surface.
In terms of styling language, just like the previous generations of Toyota Harrier, the new generation of Toyota Harrier also uses clean and tidy, but not lacking in changing styling features to form the front face. The traditional air intake grille still appears as a decorative panel, and the large-sized central air intake grille also weakens its visual size and opening area. The air intakes on both sides are also hidden in the entire clean surface.
The design of the rear of the vehicle is relatively more layered, and the through-type taillights support the proportional division relationship of the rear. The image of the entire rear has also moved the visual center of gravity upward to gather the shape of the rear of the car.
In terms of size, the three-dimensional dimensions of the new Toyota Harrier are 4740*1850*1660mm, and the wheelbase is 2690mm. After the RAV4 was replaced with the TNGA-K platform, the size of the new-generation Harrier is already similar to that of the new-generation RAV4.
The interior design of the vehicle adopts a design similar to that of the new-generation RAV4 Rongfang, and fully integrates the design of the sub-dashboard and the center console in terms of shape and color. At the moment when the global car design is strengthening the horizontal layout of the instrument panel, this design is indeed very innovative, and it also has a better sense of quality than the RAV4 Rongfang.
In terms of power, the new generation of Toyota Harrier will provide two configurations of 2.0L naturally aspirated power and 2.5L hybrid power. In terms of drive form, it will also provide front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. The overall configuration level is on par with RAV4 Rongfang.
Starting from the previous generation of models, the new generation of Toyota Harrier has begun to weaken the relationship with Lexus RX, and this situation has become more obvious on the new generation of Harrier. How to put it, in the future, the new car will form a further refined SUV layout with Highlander and RAV4 Rongfang.
Well, it is still worth recommending.
