The new Harrier has a front view that emphasizes its sharp and unashammed fearless styling flowing from the front upper grill through to the headlamps. The signature lamps emphasize the individuality and technical advancement of the new Harrier, enabling it to be easily distinguished from a distance.
Despite Toyota's love of building simple structures, the side view of the SUV offers a dynamically changing body cross section that creates a rich expressiveness, very Lexus like we feel. The combination of a narrowed coupe cabin with sports car-like wheel housings extending from both sides of the body gives a generous ruggedness to the rear view. The light from a thin, sharp line of tail lamps and stop lamps also manages to provide it with an overwhelming sense of presence-something that most manufacturers are going for with taillight design these days.
The drive in this new Harrier should be good too as it uses the TNGA (GA-K) platform for its basic structure. This platform has a highly rigid body with a low center of gravity in pursuit of both ride comfort and vehicle driving performance with a focus on driver sensitivity. If it can be set up anything like the new Camry which also rides on this platform, then the SUV can surely balance sportiness and comfort effortlessly.
