- Опубликовано: 14 авг 2024
- The Harrier was Toyota's first offerong in the premium SUV segment, and together with the early RAV4, which was slightly smaller then, pioneered the move from sedans to SUV.
The early Harriers were grey imports, and they very quickly became popular, and somewhere along the line, UMW Toyota began to import some units, and today you can buy a Harrier from any Toyota dealership.
i still love this current generation harrier i know at rm250k is not bad i seen this car everywhere and tnga-k it performs like a charm
I owned the Hybrid model 2.5lit , very good car for past 2 years . Can do 975km full tank comfortably. If you want power, just put in "power" mode, it's very powerful
Thx for sharing your experience.😍
What is the consumption?
A great video , love the end bit aka the genting test drive ... the car handles well... it does change my perception on SUVs... Thanks for the great video !
You are most welcome, and thanks very much for supporting our little channel.
Hi Uncle Khong If you were given the choice between Toyota Harrier and Mazda Cx5, which one would you choose?
to be honest the 2.0NA + CVT is a big let down, big enough for me as the potential buyer to walk away after test drive. I eventually bought from UMW the certified pre-own previous generation Harrier with turbo. The handling couldn't make up for the under powered engine. Going up Genting with that kind of high rev + CVT whine noise to the cabin is not premium feel at all, hopefully they put in the 2.4 turbo engine in the facelift.
Not to mention the odd looking CRT TV at the centre!!!
Yup
you r right!
Agreed... going up hill with that high rev doesn't feel premium at all...
They make CVT for fuel efficiency reasons.
Uncle YS, you are right. Is very economical. I have one unit and one full tank of 50 litres can easily last 700km in KL driving.
Thanks for the input - there you go, guys and gals, a user experience
Any idea why Malaysia isn't getting the significantly better 2.5 Dynamic Force Hybrid version? 2-liter + CVT, no matter how you cut it, isn't adequate for a premium car..
Cost and retail price may have a lot to do with it.
UMW wants to make RX300 more appealing to sell at $430k with 350Nm torque from 2L Turbo on 6spd Auto to 4-wheels under dynamic AWD, for premium market segment.
Hi Uncle YS, i have owned the Harrier 1st & 2nd generations. we are so obsessed that my wife and me both have one each for the two generations. Your video makes us craving for the 3rd. Thank you for your "Racun" & we will definitely get the 3rd in future
Hahaha, yes, and you can book it through us.
awesome and superb review Uncle. hope you feel the power ya. beautiful overtaking on the center lane near Chin Swee temple. Terbaik Uncle. terima kasih! 👍🏻💪🏻❤️
centre lane can overtake? maybe uncle don't take undang undang jalan raya?
Dynamic Force engine.... dual injection, both port and direct.... nice!
Yes.
This video ended quickly, what happened? 😬
I've driven the non turbo 2.0 litre with the cvt, it's comfy and boat like at city to highway speeds. But has significant body roll in the corners and is NOT a sporty or a fast SUV imho. I loved the suspension though as I look for that boat like soft suspension in a big SUV. However, the CVT noise was just too much and i didn't like the acceleration either (felt sluggish). I was disappointed when they stopped giving the V6 of the previous generations to the Harrier because I feel that it's the ideal engine for a vehicle of this size and weight. Love your videos :)
Thanks for the input! And thanks for supporting our little channel.
Uncle u just overtook in between 2 cars on Genting. Wow
A perfect car after i retire. Gonna sell off all my germans 😂.
I recently bought a 2018 Toyota Harrier and finds that it struggles when going uphill. I can't get it to go more than 60 mph when doing an incline. Mind you I had it in "Drive" when I was driving it uphill. Can you please tell me what gear I should put it in when going uphill? Please note it's a pre-owned Japanese SUV and the information on the dashboard and the manual is not in English 🥹
Look for the Sport mode if there is one. Try Google translate, usimg the camera on yr phone. There is also the manual mode you can use
The rpm meter seems to be reving close to red line, is this the nature of the engine or you really pushing it cuz it's under powered
he redline every cars on his channel. you must be new subscriber.
Hahaha, true, and thanks for the input. Yes, to climb that mountain you have to max everything in order to check what a car can do.
I think that's the best way to check out a car. No pussy-footing around, unless it is rainiing, lol.
What about sound insulation? I watch review by person from Paultan and he did mention about wind sound from right side mirrow. What is your experiences?
Might have been an isolated case. We did not have any problem
Drove it to genting aswell, handling is good and the brakes are good. It can be slow when it comes to the very steep parts of the route, but honestly people buy this car to not set a new time record or like ur driving an a45 like crazy lol. The comfort is good even when I maintained 180 from Ipoh to selangor. I’ve overtaken it at over 180 with sport mode on, and it surprisingly does well 😂 Nice for long journeys
Good sharing from an actual user. You are absolutely correct - this vehicle is not something you buy for the speed, but for fhe ride.
Your video never disappoints
Thank you. We did put in a bit of effort.
U r the best uncle to speak for this UNCLE'S Suv😄
Thank you. I say it as it is.
Bagi saya itu kurang cocok di sebut Sport Utility Vehicle. Lebih ke arah Big Hatcback.
This new one seems struggling uphill, even with just a driver. What was wrong with the previous 2.5L hybrid setup?
You should watch more of our hill climb videos. All vehicles have to work hard climbing hills. We can also drive up at 60 knh, and it will still struggle at some points due to lack of momentum.
@@YSKhongDriving lack of momentum or power?
Test it with 4 adult passenger for Genting drive. Then will know the car (whatever car) is under power or not ! For 1 passenger only Kancil won't be under power too !!!
Any vehicle fully loaded will not be the same: everybody knows that.
All the ADAS system in Z spec is same like G spec also? Like lane keep assist and adaptive cruise control uncle?
Not too sure, plse check btochure
Perfectly nice basic car for simple A-B. Love the sleek headlights!
Bo lat one after they removed the turbo. The rx300 had some poke from the turbo but the na harrier totally cmi.
I think they compensated with different final drive ratios.
can see the infotain system refresh rate are poor, about the 2.0 engine is it still acceptable with alot of car maker putting in smaller cc with turbo to archive the same ?
Well, watch our Genting drive video and judge for yourself.
If you dont mind giving your personal opinion. I am considering 2 models to buy, Harrier 2023 vs volvo XC60 2023. Which one is your choice if you are looking on comfort and good handling SUV for middle age person.
These two vwhicles are on opposite ends of the poles. Hard to tell you unless you tell me more of what you actually need.
@@YSKhongDriving What I need is more reliable suv and more comfortable to drive in long distance. I am not particular about power because I am a middle age man.
As a harrier driver recommend harrier 200 k km on my 2013 model no problem and the amount of soft leather you get is awesome
Good evening, Mr. YS. Sorry for the late commenting. My house suffered internet problems all afternoon!
And XOXO, the new Harrier seen in the video is a rebadged American Toyota Venza Hybrid.
Is that so. Yes, Toyota is a global brand, after all. They do have different name plates in different markets.
New subcriber gain ,hi uncle k ,you are awesome 🤩
Thanks and welcome
hi uncle, how is it driven compared to an RX300 f sport uncle? does it feels underpowered? which one is better?
The RX300 could be a little more powerful. But then these suvs are not about power.
I saw in the news that Altis are going to launch new model very soon. I think the engine inside this Harrier are the same as the engine used in the new Altis, please correct me if I am wrong. Thank you.
We have no news as yet.This is a very nice engine.
Can we put Turbo outside? I am thinking to put Turbo after several years. Don't care about warranty as this is Toyota. What to break? And if break, not expensive.
You can do anything outside of warranty.
Honestly might as well get second hand cbu harrier my harrier has 200k km never had a single issue and i drive it hard and the leather they provide is miles better then german especially compared to mercedes plant made leather but this car does have a con it is underpowered but technically also a pro cause na car are more reliable
Watching the harrier evolution
Hi Uncle Khong,😊need some opinion here…
Harrier vs Mazda Cx 60!!!!
Which is better to go????😊
CX60 is not here yet.
Hi Sifu YS, can compare with CX5 2.0 NA in term power, space, and handling?
The CX5 2.0 is a very nice vehicle. It has enough power for most people,and handles very well.
It also costs a lot less than the Harrier, but I suppose some of the trim may not be as premium.
@@YSKhongDriving Should i upgraded from current cx5 to latest harrier?
cx5 facelift or recond harrier ? any recommendations?
Of course go for the new car - 5 years warrsnty, free service for 5 years too: new car smell.
I'm "observing" this model very long time rdy, still can't make me decide to buy mainly it is using 2.0 engine, not 2.5 engine.
If you are "normal" driver, there is enough power. If you want a lot of power, better by the turbo or 2.5 - that would be the RAV4.
I recently bought a recon Harrier as a second car for long distance travel, 2 to 3 times a month to Penang/JB for work. Used to do it in a G20 330i. One of the best decisions I've ever made IMO. This car is really comfortable and is a dream for long distance driving. Drove it up Genting once as well and I really don't think its underpowered. It's by no means a powerful car as well. I think Toyota got the power just right.
Nice car❤❤
compare to mazda cx-5 2.0L. Both same noisy engine roaring for power
Any engine pushed hard up that mountain would roar.
Everything looks great except for the infotainment system...
If compare Harrier and Lexus, which one is better?
of course lexus more premium
Lexus positions itself as a luxury brand, so much attention is paid to the trim. Mechanically there are many shared drive trains. The same engine is used in some models oof Lexus.

Saw a gap...
Send it...!
Niceeee
Same thing in life - see an opportunity, grab it!
It's seems struggling, pulling 1.6 tonnes car using 200Nm engine. If using older 2.0 turbo 350Nm doesn't need to rev that high to pull the car even fully loaded with people & luggage. Its more of retired uncle's car. 0-100kmh 9.7s, vs 1.5 myvi 10.2s 🤭🤭🤭
I am a retired uncle.... and there are many uncles and aunties. I had a 1.3 liter Avanza for 14 years and also enjoyed it very much.
It is not always about out and out power.
@@YSKhongDriving well I mean its a Premium suv sir. High revving = high cabin noise, I'm sure you understand lower cabin noise very important aspect for Premium/Luxury car.
Typical Malaysian always not satisfied with power and torque. God damn its a suv man. Ur not to drive 24/7 fast like hell. U wanna fast car go for lambo or ferrari.
@@YSKhongDriving Exactly - many don't even use full power! Unlike you 😃. But most normal folks are frightened to redline la...Have to forgive them. . .
@@anandsamy5194 it's a god damn 1.6-1.8 tonnes SUV with NA engine. Higher rev to achieve its peak torque.
Unless its a turbo/hybrid, can achieve higher torque @ lower RPM specifically 350Nm @1650 RPM. Which feels very premium & easy to drive, not struggling in City driving or uphill driving. It's not about speed or top speed, it's a heavy SUV that really need high torque to pull its weight. If it's premium/luxury, lower NVH very much required right?
Nice car.
I think so too!
test drive the car yesterday. this is seriously underpower...and engine noise very very disturbing inside...haiya...
Is UMW fault! Always give Malaysian a second class choices for almost all Toyota models.
New outlook but only equipped with "old heart". New expensive selling price but missing lots of new technology gadgets.
Actually this engine is the mew Dynamic Force engine, same series as in the current Camry, but 2.0.
I figure it is a cost issue to keep the selling price decent. It is actually quite decent to drive.
Should’ve stuck with the old logo. Harrier buyers buy Harriers, not Toyotas. It’s like a Grand Seiko owner buying a GS not a Seiko.
Which year is this one?
2023
Toyota has the worst-looking multimedia console....why must it be so bulky?
by import model with JBL
Is not the console. Buy the older generations and you know why
I thought it looked okay.
@@YSKhongDrivingfor that price range, it's a lazy design.
Free TV
Hi Uncle Harrier vs Mazda CX8 pls
It's like thr difference between a pretty face and a good worker: depends on what you need more. One is a 7 seater btw.
Why reviewing the pre facelift model? Toyota has changed the center console unit and do away with the ugly left side mirror’s ugly looking additional side mirror.
it feels like you speed up the video during mountain climbing. nice torque.
Hahaha.
The car felt it doesnt have enough power when you have +3 adult passangers and some luggage.. Not worth the price tag..
Is this a paid review by UMW ? When a car is driven to redline up the hill .. and reviewer says its not under powered . Strange
FYI, I drive all vehicles up to the redline when going uphill on this mountain. You are welcome to check them out.
Under-powered means it cannot pull the vehicle up the hill, or the vehicle is struggling.
the new one under power?
It has less power, but fuel economy is much improved, so people love it. This is a family suv, and the packaging is more towards fun and family. It is about meeting your needs. If you want heaps of power, get the Supra.
@@YSKhongDriving i see...not comparing with supra, just vs the previous model
Uncle u drive like F1
Hahaha, it is a SUV wei!
Price ?
From RM274k.
Last n last like a singer sewing machine.
It was all good until the old fashioned TV appeared.
Most sought after ? I don't think so la....😅
You'd be surprised how many there are out there.
I was hoping an honest review
Would you like a ride up the mountain in this vehicle ?
Ha, ha ,ha from turbo engine to normal aspirated engine .
So noisy at high rev to get the power
Dinosaur harrier in the making . Moving backward.
However this short review was informative and good.
I bet a turbo will be just as noisy.
@@YSKhongDriving normally aspirated engine struggle for power unlike Turbo.
But aspirated engine like this backward harrier new engine will eventually be more nosier .
Most sought after? Lol. For uncles maybe at that price. More cx8 on the roads than harrier for price and space in terms of family and comfort and engine spec.
There are actually quite many around. Everything is about the package. People seem to like the looks and really find the engine powerful enough for their needs.
Go for test drive and you will realise it is underpower
Watch the entire video please.
Enough power but not powerful enough
Hahaha, 80 to 90 percent of the population will find it powerful enough. Seriously, it is actually quite good to drive.
@@YSKhongDriving ok uncle in you we trust
Low power and admit it dont turn to enough lol
It did okay on the uphill drive.
Since when my fav uncle become a Toyota salesman 😔
And Mazda, Honda, Proton, BMW, Kia and Peugeot too. Buy a car through us and support our channel.
