UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has officially introduced the Toyota Harrier 2.5 Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV).
The latest update to the Toyota Harrier brings a new level of refinement and efficiency to the D-segment SUV category. Built on the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA-K) platform, the Harrier HEV is engineered to deliver a composed ride, stable handling, and exceptional cabin quietness, making it a perfect companion for both urban commutes and long-distance travel all for the price of RM289,000.
Efficient 4th Generation Hybrid Performance
The heart of the new Harrier is Toyota’s 4th Generation Hybrid System. This self-charging setup pairs a 2.5-litre Dynamic Force engine with a powerful electric motor and a high-efficiency lithium-ion battery.
Key performance highlights include:
- Total System Output: 217 PS with instantaneous torque to support smooth and responsive acceleration.
- Fuel Efficiency: An impressive rating of just 4.7 litres per 100 kilometres.
- Versatile Driving: Drivers can tailor the vehicle’s response through Eco, Normal, Sport, and a dedicated EV mode for whisper-quiet operation.
Because the system is self-charging through regenerative braking and engine operation, owners can enjoy the benefits of electrification without any reliance on external charging infrastructure.
Dignified Elegance Inside and Out
The Harrier HEV follows a design concept of “Dignified Elegance,” featuring a sharp visual identity with slim headlamps and a planted, wide stance. The exterior is distinguished by “Beyond Zero” badging, identifying its electrified status, and is available in premium colors such as Platinum White Pearl Mica, Grey Metallic, and Precious Black.
Inside, the cabin offers a secure and enclosed feeling with high-quality finishes and advanced digital interfaces. The driver-focused cockpit features a 12.3-inch TFT digital instrument display and an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay support. Comfort is prioritized with ventilated and heated front seats, dual-zone climate control with nanoe™ X air purification, and a fixed panoramic moonroof.
Advanced Safety and Peace of Mind
Safety is paramount with the inclusion of Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) 3.0, which offers a comprehensive suite of driver assistance features including a Pre-Collision System, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, and Lane Tracing Assist. Maneuvering is made easier with a Panoramic View Monitor (PVM) and a digital rear-view mirror for unobstructed visibility.
For long-term assurance, UMWT provides an extensive warranty package:
- Vehicle Warranty: 5 years with unlimited mileage.
- Hybrid Battery Warranty: 8 years with unlimited mileage, covering the battery, inverter, and Power Management Control ECU.
- Optional Extension: Owners can opt to extend the hybrid component coverage for up to 10 years.
