The innovative model of Toyota Harrier released in 2013
The 3rd generation Harrier was fully remodeled in December 2013 and had been sold until May 2020. From this model, the design and functionality have evolved significantly (while keeping the tradition) compared to the previous Harrier. In addition, this model was completely separated from Lexus RX and relaunched as a Domestic-only Model.
The exterior has realized a design that symbolizes the new generation Harrier that expresses a new dynamism with a sophisticated impression while inheriting elegant style common to the previous Harrier.
The interior is designed to have the impression of the authenticity of handmade products with modern sophistication. Furthermore, in addition to creating a space that is both spacious and sporty, the front door trim ornament with the Harrier emblem expresses the playfulness and caring about small details.
The 3rd generation Harrier has gained popularity by improving driving performance and safety through one partial improvement and one minor change in the model life of 7 years.
In the full model change, it was equipped with a 151 horsepower 2L in-line 4-cylinder DOHC engine, and the transmission was combined with Super CVT-i(continuously variable transmission). Regarding grades, there are 4 types. 1, the base model "Grand", 2,"Elegance" equipped with fabric(the highest quality)+ synthetic leather seats as standard equipment, 3,"Premium" equipped with 18-inch aluminum wheels as standard equipment, and 4,"Premium Advanced Package" with intelligent clearance sonar and pre-crash safety system as standard equipment. They have been set in response to the taste of the user.
In addition, as equipment, high safety and convenience are realized by advanced technology such as a panoramic view monitor with correct left-right orientation and a lane departure alert with steering control. In addition, it achieved quietness suitable for a high-end crossover SUV, such as the effective placement of sound-absorbing and insulating materials, and while ensuring high steering stability by improving aerodynamic performance and suspension. It achieved a high-quality ride.

In the partial improvement in 2015, Harrier's original luxury and sophisticated design "Elegance Gs" were set in the grade lineup to 5 types.
