The year 2019 is about to bring us some serious redesign when it comes to popular crossover models. According to the information our team has got, one of them will be the new 2019 Toyota Harrier. The fourth generation of the Toyota’s crossover made its official debut at the 2017 Tokyo Auto Show.
Exterior
The 2019 Toyota Harrier will hit the market as a mid-size crossover that will undergo some significant changes and improvements in terms of exterior styling. It will definitely show some more eye-catching design than it has been the case with its predecessor. The Harrier will keep its powerful and mean look, but it will at the same time acquire some more sophisticated and refined bodywork. This crossover should also appear smaller in size, but this should not affect its interior space. Its smaller dimensions will only provide better handling and stability through all sorts of challenging terrains and conditions. Its suspension system will also be significantly enhanced and you will notice some metallic protection at the bottom of this vehicle. The new Harrier will stand on 18-inch aluminum wheels. It seems more aggressive, especially in its front part where you can see its distinctive grille, a massive bumper and a set of narrow LED headlights.
Interior
As we have already mentioned, the fans of this popular crossover shouldn’t be worried about the size of its cabin and space issues. Although the 2019 Toyota Harrier will have smaller external dimensions than its predecessor, this doesn’t mean that there won’t be enough space for its five adult passengers. The interior of the new Harrier can even be described as luxurious. The carmaker will pay special attention to materials and overall comfort so you can hope for some high-quality fabric or even leather in higher trim levels. The next-generation updates will also include its high-tech features. There will be an 8.0-inch touch-screen display in the center console with the latest infotainment system and features such as navigation, audio system, dual-zone climate control and various types of connectivity for your phone. When it comes to safety, the new Harrier will provide system such as adaptive cruise control, a rearview camera, automatic emergency braking and airbags.
Engine
The 2019 Toyota Harrier will use an innovative hybrid system under its hood. When it comes to gas engine, the new Harrier should come with a 2.5-liter that in combination with two electric motors and a CVT delivers the output of 197 horsepower. The hybrid system found in lower trim levels will probably use a 2.0-liter gasoline engine.
2019 Toyota Harrier Releae Date and Price
The release date of the 2019 Toyota Harrier should be expected to happen this year. The price of the base model has been estimated at $45,000.
