I own one, recon,same price as new, turbo, toyota import version. If you want a car that is comfortable,really comfortable,by all mean,go for this Harrier. Recon has no GPS and I have to install radio myself.
Thank you for your review bobby, i just collected my harrier last week, the full spec one, mine does not come equipped with dash cam or smart tag , smart tag was offered for rm3xx , unaware of the dash cam, and tonneau cover you have to pay 1.5k for it also pay 1k for option of HU with gps, you have to try the auto high beam headlight during night.. you will absolutely love it, dont know how to explain but its an awesome mechanism, there are 3 projectors on each lamp, under normal driving it only light up one on each lamp, and dark road it lights up another which is projecting to the sides , and lastly 3rd one is blasting to furthest distance, it will compensate or switch accordingly depending on the vehicle infront or opposite direction, drive like a boss from kl to johor at night, i like the power delivery of the car smooth like NA seriously, its not those sluggish type like C200 where you have to step on the accelerator then it does not respond and suddenly gives you the aggresive power , also my harrier when i drive @ 150kmh the actual GPS from waze is only at 140kmh is it only my harrier , or same goes to all harriers? the speedo at 100kmh is actually 92+/- in my waze, like the speed 10% off from the actual, did not encounter with other car before. no i did not upsize or downsize my rims all stock standard. glad that i stick and waited for the harrier, not looking for fancy stuff just looking for reliability but does seem abit overprice that depends on every individual.
Volvo is high maintenance car. Certain parts like wheel sensor don't always work when you change the faulty ones. Then again if you buy a Volvo you pretty much have the budget to maintain it. Don't buy just for the sake of luxury. Their keyless sucks big time ☹️
Hi Bobby, In term of build quality and NVH, does this car better than Proton X70? Because u mentioned in ur previous video saying that the X70 is much better than CX5 and is on par with GLC. Thanks
talked to quite a number of people regarding this car: results are not surprising ( to me at least) 1. ALL of the chinese say they would rather buy merc or BMW cause of the badge. They say 250k for toyota not worth. Recon better. 2. indians and malays share simmilar views that the car is specced nicely but a bit priced to high. No comparisons to conti cars were mentioned
Hi bobby, have u had any issues with the gearbox at low speed ? Bcs i have that problem, sent to toyota they said gearbox is ok. When slowing down it jerks a little bit. Just wondering what’s the problem actually.
@@BobbyAngmalaysia thanks for your reply Bobby! Nice... my W205 rear seats really subpar in my opinion. Long distance journey is not exactly comfortable. Shortlisting this Harrier for 2019!
I dun mind payin 230k+ even if we can afford 2nd or recon merc/bmw. Cuz i'd believe maintenance would cheaper. But i'd wish the speedo would go more than 180 though.
Only recently Harrier come with included GPS infotainment, car camera recorder and smart tag? I received my car in April this year but I didn't get any of these, even the boot cover is a top up option also.
Actually the Harrier feels more comfortable. It's less capable in the corners but i think that's the advantage of not attempting to make it sporty at all. It's tidy in corners and comfortable that's it. :)
Bobby Ang thank you so much for answering my question, im sorry i’ve just noticed recently that you replied my comment when i re-watch this video, because somehow youtube didnt give me the notification right away back then.
I heard they are putting the 2.5T engine from the CX-9 into the CX-5. It won't be a fair comparison if you are looking at the power/torque department. This Harrier has only a 2.0T.
4:47: did you say 150km/h? It is supper loud in most SUV at that speeds. The new RAV4 fits my outdoors life style more but I really enjoy quiet ride and second hand Harrier in Japan will fit the budget. Let me know please how is Harrier on longer journeys: noise and comfort wise. Good video ;)
thanks again for your informative review Bobby, love the demo of the adaptive cruise control. in terms of size how does this harrier compare to the xc40 and xc60?
Really value for money if compare to BMW spec spec like the Harrier. Actually I was discussing with my wife about the Harrier but I also love the new X3. This could be the best choice replacement for my work car, economy for this year not that good and this Harrier seems the best value for money with its dynamic cruise control and RM240k+ is a good buy to me personally. My wife also given me thumbs up for this vehicle and no need to buy from grey importers because of the warranty given by Toyota. Finally the back seats can recline to around 40 degree are probably the best compare to Merc and BMs.
Hi bobby ..what do i lose in terms of driving comfort and dynamics compared to the recond harriers from japan compared to the official version from toyota?
Cheapest car to have reclining rear seat I think is the Tiguan. It is shocking how many luxury cars don’t have this feature. From what I know, only S class, 7 series sedan size sedans have reclining seats. I think even the BMW X5 doesn’t have reclining seats.
a toyota with a turbo..lovely..more toyota models should be turbocharged.. the gear lever seem to be in the way of the aircon controls..or does it really?
The new camry 2.5 in australia (same spec as malaysia later) that i drove before too jerky when adaptive cruise control is on. 6 speed gear box is a big NO.
I rather have the blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic and 360 camera than some of the safery sense features. I bought the 2nd gen Harrier in 2004 new (at RM245k) and still running as a every day car. So disappointed with X3 on the exclusion of safety features at the premium SUV price point.
same! I've been wanting to change my car yet it's so hard to find SUVs that can exceed more in terms of comfort and design. The only problem for me is the fuel consumption. Hahaha telan a lot of money for a student like me.
None out there are as easy to operate as Volvo's. And Volvo's you felt adaptive cruise control is just one of the features of its advanced system, whereas this and the one in the 6GT feels like it's already all that they have up their sleeves.
XC40 younger, handles wayyy sharper, more lifestyle. This is comfortable. Both powerful but XC40 can be driven more aggressively (outhandles an X2). Safety features wise, no one beats Volvo la. Both are damn worth buying
in msia, it is called Lexus NX. other countries still got the toyota badge. to me, it is the same thing, but it got a Lexus badge and more air bags etc
If only this Harrier is a 7-seater, I'd buy it without hesitation. I'm not aware of any luxury 7-seater SUV at this price point. Looks like I have to settle for the KIA Sorento 😕 Any advice, Bobby?
Funny thing is, it's of course not as teutonic as the X3, but new German cars are also trying hard to shake off that unique German car sturdiness and heft. The Harrier doesnt handle as well of course, and the ok-ish infotainment when compared to X3 is like comparing some OEM phone to iPhone. But this car surprised me more than i thought it would. Put it this way, Toyota puts 100% effort in this. BMW puts maybe 80% of their engineering might on the X3 that we get.
an x3 would be dynamically superior..but i believe harrier would be more reliable for the long run..if budget is a non issue than go for the beemer hehe
No la in the video it looked better for him/her cos it is super wide angle, in real life the car is just less than one length in front of me. A bit scary but i prepared my foot on top of the brake pedal
This is the best review for Harrier Turbo I have seen so far. It is really comfortable, easy to drive and reasonable fuel consumption. Great job!
I own one, recon,same price as new, turbo, toyota import version. If you want a car that is comfortable,really comfortable,by all mean,go for this Harrier. Recon has no GPS and I have to install radio myself.
recon which version is turbo?

Congrats on your car! Waze these past few days damn slow and dumb. I trust cars more than apps
i think this and the volvo suv is the bestbuy car at the moment🤔 does anyone agree with me?
Beng BengBeng still ex la. Thrifty guys shld wait for 1yr old demo cars...
How about Hyundai ioniq. It comes with those safety features too
how much?

Hi Bobby, how’s it compare to 4th gen harrier? Would like to hear from ur review.
Would you be doing a comparison of this car vs a 2.2D Mazda CX-5?
good review bobby when will u review the x1?
Actually the zig zag blue van is KON so bobby can demo the cruise control. Hahahaha.
the engine is great is because it's the same engine as the NX200T
i've driven the NX200T, love it
Hi Bobby, In term of build quality and NVH, does this car better than Proton X70?
Because u mentioned in ur previous video saying that the X70 is much better than CX5 and is on par with GLC.
Thanks
I think i said the X70's fit and finish is right up to premium car category
Hi Bobby, what about NVH, is the X70 on par with this?
talked to quite a number of people regarding this car:

Oh well, the AP ones were at two hundred plus k as well last time, and they sell shit loads of it too :)
@@yangerek78 most are recon. Can tell from that green and blue sticker
St?
@@BobbyAngmalaysia probably SG. Loads of people drive this car in Singapore. Mostly hybrids I think.
Hi bobby, have u had any issues with the gearbox at low speed ? Bcs i have that problem, sent to toyota they said gearbox is ok. When slowing down it jerks a little bit. Just wondering what’s the problem actually.
How does the handling / steering feel feels like? Heard it’s too light and numb. CX5 or Harrier?
Cannot compare to CX5 in terms of sporty drive, but wins a long mile in comfort
Do you still think this is worth getting now? With the new Harrier hybrid on the way?
Probably replacing my C class with this Harrier next year. Is this move recommended Bobby?
@@BobbyAngmalaysia thanks for your reply Bobby! Nice... my W205 rear seats really subpar in my opinion. Long distance journey is not exactly comfortable. Shortlisting this Harrier for 2019!
We are going to test drive this spacious Harrier soon hoping for a bit more year end discount.
I dun mind payin 230k+ even if we can afford 2nd or recon merc/bmw. Cuz i'd believe maintenance would cheaper. But i'd wish the speedo would go more than 180 though.
Do you have the Citroen C5 Aircross in Malaysia? Is that a proper competitor to the Harrier Turbo?
Hi, can u share with me what is the purpose of that small mirror below the left side mirror?
if we compare this to a cheaper small/mid suv like crv? how will u rate it?
Hi Bobby, can you demorate the manual performance gear? The + and -, how responsive are they?
Only recently Harrier come with included GPS infotainment, car camera recorder and smart tag? I received my car in April this year but I didn't get any of these, even the boot cover is a top up option also.
which one has more comfortable ride quality this new harrier turbo or the lexus nx?
Actually the Harrier feels more comfortable. It's less capable in the corners but i think that's the advantage of not attempting to make it sporty at all. It's tidy in corners and comfortable that's it. :)
Bobby Ang thank you so much for answering my question, im sorry i’ve just noticed recently that you replied my comment when i re-watch this video, because somehow youtube didnt give me the notification right away back then.
Hi Bobby.. If CX-5 comes with turbo, which one do you think is good?
I heard they are putting the 2.5T engine from the CX-9 into the CX-5. It won't be a fair comparison if you are looking at the power/torque department. This Harrier has only a 2.0T.
4:47: did you say 150km/h? It is supper loud in most SUV at that speeds.

Let me know please how is Harrier on longer journeys: noise and comfort wise.
Good video ;)
you want no noise? try record on a 150km/h bezza ? listen to the differences
Bobby. A question if you don't mind. Would you rather have this or topup a bit and go for CX9 instead?
CX9. But you will have to live with a gigantic car. And as a 7 seater, the middle row wont be as comfy as the Harrier's second row
Bobby Ang that's thing that I need to reconsider with. Thanks for the input!
how is the fuel consumption
thanks again for your informative review Bobby, love the demo of the adaptive cruise control. in terms of size how does this harrier compare to the xc40 and xc60?
Size similar, rear seat room spacious. Volvo interior quality and the safety systems still unbeatable
@@BobbyAngmalaysia XC40 and XC60 size also quite similar right ?
Hi Bobby, can you do a in depth review of the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe diesel model? Thanks!
Is this better than prius?
hey bob is the harrier turbo acceleration faster than macan 2.0?
How about the rear seats of bmw GT ? Which one reclines better?
Bobby , This or the NX200t?

mc Mac especially the CAMRY！ but no there's no turbocharged camry :( also for the Vellfire and Alphard 🤦♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏿♂️
@@65_soon true..a turbocharged camry would be a big hit here in Malaysia
mc Mac True and honda already put turbo on the upcoming accord，but camry still come with NA engine 🤦♂️
@@65_soon i believe if camry turbo were to land here in Malaysia, it will be the new gengsta car on the highway 😂..chasing ppl down on the fast lane
mc Mac lol agree
Regarding the back seats and the reclined position, do you guys get the Santa Fe?
Cars designed for 3 rows is nothing new having a reclinable rear seat. But a 5 seater configuration that has that is brilliant.
what about the dashboard...does it crack...my 2006 harrier dashboard crack so badly....
Iwan Darmawan lol same here as well
harrier awd?
The new camry 2.5 in australia (same spec as malaysia later) that i drove before too jerky when adaptive cruise control is on. 6 speed gear box is a big NO.
This Harrier is nice. But I like Beng more.
How is this Harrier compare to X70 - premium version?
Romantically review and full understanding both of you
I love Miss Beng
I rather have the blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic and 360 camera than some of the safery sense features. I bought the 2nd gen Harrier in 2004 new (at RM245k) and still running as a every day car.

rear reclining seat already a feature on 2002 toyota rav4
Recline seat featured in Perodua Kembara way years back
how is it compared to pilot assist?
None out there are as easy to operate as Volvo's. And Volvo's you felt adaptive cruise control is just one of the features of its advanced system, whereas this and the one in the 6GT feels like it's already all that they have up their sleeves.
whats the difference between the rx350 and this harrier?
Totally different. The Harrier used to be a twin of the Lexus RX. But this generation the Harrier is the twin of the Lexus NX
Hi bobby. Which one is better? This or Volvo XC40?
XC40 younger, handles wayyy sharper, more lifestyle. This is comfortable. Both powerful but XC40 can be driven more aggressively (outhandles an X2). Safety features wise, no one beats Volvo la. Both are damn worth buying
Thanks for the feedback!! Great review as always! Keep up the good work!
Isn't the Range Rover the one that started the luxury SUV segment?
More about big luxury suv while this is medium luxury suv
Cx5 or This car guys
this harrier turbo or nx turbo?
in msia, it is called Lexus NX. other countries still got the toyota badge. to me, it is the same thing, but it got a Lexus badge and more air bags etc
Kalau x silap since 2017 dah start enjin Turbo.. Since hujung last year rekon company dah mula bawak masuk model yg ada turbo
bobby, is this good enough or the lexus RX350 still worth the extra price ?
RX350 is one size up. Last time the Harrier was based on RX, but this generation Harrier based on NX.
not frm umw rite? not jeep but pajero...
Does this has autonomous city safety brake?
Nope, this is same as 6GT, only adaptive cruise control and lane keep warning
The Starex: wa bobby testing cruise control i potong hehe
Mazda CX-5 vs Toyota Harrier turbo ?
cminghan different price range
you mean cx5 2.2 diesel turbo?
How about the Forester XT for the subbie fans bro ?
What year are you at bobby? Still using smart tag? People are migrating to RFID already in case you haven't realised..
Malas
RFID scars the headlamp. Dun want hahaha
If rear reclining seats are the highlights, Proton/Suzuki Ertiga at rm65k has rear reclining seats and as quite but even more economical.
3 row cars having rear reclining is normal, but its vastly different in a 5 seater mid size car with full size seats :)
build in dash cam is huge...
The rear seat recline similar to the Sorento
If only this Harrier is a 7-seater, I'd buy it without hesitation. I'm not aware of any luxury 7-seater SUV at this price point. Looks like I have to settle for the KIA Sorento 😕 Any advice, Bobby?
Yupe. Kia Sorento or Santa Fe are the best buys for now.
HAHAHA the massage chair reference got me laughing
Its my first thought lol
Bobby…你可以有中文字幕吗？😥
Or an Osaka Yakuza boss sitting behind ... :)
Cx9 vs this?
CX9 wont have such a comfy second row ... but damn i love that car. It's two size larger though ... even larger than XC90.
