Toyota Harrier review: Practical, spacious & affordable indulgence

It wasn't too long ago that buyers would only purchase the Toyota Harrier because they were unable to fork out the cash needed to land a Lexus RX on their drive.

It may be in a sort of 'crossover no-man's land', but it combines quality and equipment at a very palatable price, and is a compelling package that has carved a client base for itself.The basic recipe for the XU80 goes a little like this — you take the outgoing XU60 Harrier, and then proceed to add a significant amount of spice to its exterior design.

No big, ungainly brake lights here; the car has a sleek, pseudo light-bar running across the rear of the vehicle. To achieve this, the reverse lights have been shifted to separate lighting units mounted lower in the bumper. Again, a good move, as it removes some visual bulk from higher up in the vehicle.This is one well-built car. Soft-touch plastics and leather grace the surfaces that you'll regularly come into contact with.

Opting for a customised solution would greatly extend the stylistic relevance of the interior, as double-DIN head units continue to gradually be phased out.It does not feel like an SUV from behind the wheel. Where you sit in relation to the rest of the bodyshell, and also in the way it conducts itself, the Harrier feels like a hatchback that has been properly scaled up.
