    Some of the new Harrier’s exterior designs have been redesigned, and many designs have been inherited from the predecessor, the 3rd generation of Harrier.<\/p>\n

    Until the 3rd generation Harrier, the design was based on a design-conscious SUV instead of a square-based styling SUV that emphasized practicality.<\/p>\n

    The characteristic of the new Harrier was that it was deeply influenced by a form like a Coupe SUV.<\/p>\n

    The entire exterior of the new Harrier features a sleek coupe form that has a simple elegance with robustness.<\/p>\n

    From here, we will introduce the changes in the exterior of the new Harrier, which has evolved into a more elegant and sleek design compared to the third generation.<\/p>\n

    1.Body size<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    The body size of the 3rd Harrier had total length of 4720 mm \u00d7total width of 1835 mm \u00d7 total height of 1690 mm, but the new 4th generation Harrier has total length of 4740 mm\u00d7 total width of 1855 mm \u00d7 total height of 1660 mm.<\/p>\n

    Compared to the third-generation Harrier, the overall length and width have increased by 20 mm, while the overall height has decreased by 30 mm. The body size of new Harrier is similar to that of the second-generation Harrier.<\/p>\n

    The car width became 20 mm wider and has a distinctive characteristic of left and right overhang. Compared to the third generation, it has a low center of gravity.<\/p>\n

    The wheelbase was 2660 mm for the third generation, but the new Harrier has 2690 mm which is 30 mm longer.<\/p>\n

    2.Platform<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    GA-K platform is equipped to the new Harrier.<\/p>\n

    The platform of Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) can accommodate side-size FF power trains and is also used by RAV4, Camry, Lexus ES, and others.<\/p>\n

    The size of the wheelbase of the new Harrier is the same as the RAV4, which is 2690 mm, so it can be assumed that both have the same basic mechanism.<\/p>\n

    3.Front mask<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Compared to the third generation, the new Harrier’s side windows have a lower ceiling height, and the backward tilting roof has the impression that D pillars and tail windows have a gentler slope when viewed from the side.<\/p>\n

    The continuous design that flows from the front grille to the headlamp has been inherited from the third-generation design.<\/p>\n

    By narrowing the width of the headlamps, the front view has a significant sharper impression.<\/p>\n

    The L-shaped double daytime running lamp is a significant characteristic, and it has a compact yet powerful design.<\/p>\n

    4.Emblem<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Up to the 3rd generation, the front grill used an emblem with the motif of an Eastern marsh harrier (family Accipitridae), but it has been changed to the Toyota emblem from the new Harrier.<\/p>\n

    5.Side mirror<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Side mirrors were attached to A-pillar in the third-generation, but the new Harrier uses door side mirrors.<\/p>\n

    This eliminates the blind spots that are created at the connecting part between the side mirror and the pillar.<\/p>\n
