Exterior
The first time I saw a photo of this car when it was launched in 2013, my impression is maybe this is one of the urban SUVs that have exterior design is quite interesting and not boring, and this is from Toyota where I think personal car exterior design they usually seem " Only "," bored quickly "," nyeleneh ", or" the pull of the exterior line is not clear at all ". So kudos to the design team! '
From the front, side, and back, the design looks neat and quite beautiful. Ooh yes, this third generation Harrier was born with a smaller body also from the previous generation, and a little smaller when we look from the outside. Please see the table below for comparison with previous generations, XU30
For interior matters, this is one of the newest excellences of Harrier. The layout and interior design is pretty stunning and arguably the great progress of the previous generation. And maybe for those who rarely see the interior of the Toyota Harrier but often see the interior of Toyota Innova, may not be so foreign, just of course the two cars have different interior quality.
Understandably, the Toyota Harrier who berakta born from Japan and is actually only specialized in Japan and has a standard build quality is very good accompanied by good material selection and quite solid, and the gap between interior panels is minimal. The result is that people inside the Toyota Harrier will feel at home in this car cabin, both for inner and outer city travel.
Seating
Now let's try to sit down. The driver's seat is quite comfortable and the seating position is also quite ergonomic and the model I tried also comes with a 10-way electric arrangement including lumbar support arrangement. For the front passenger seat unfortunately in the unit I tried the seat settings still manual. From my sitting position in the driver's seat, the visibility came out pretty good although for me personally there is a little blind spot in area A and pillar pillar C.
Still relieved loh! The front seat was already I stel my driving position, with a height of 178cm. Now move to the second line. Hmmmmmm .... comfortable, very comfortable. Both lines really spoil passengers. For those who like to be, this car is suitable for you. Ask the driver to drive you to your destination, you sit sweet in the second row, prepare a soft pillow, and eits! Second row seats can be made more sender again to add comfort. Very comfortable both lines and it seems difficult for second-row passengers to find things that can make them complain. Create a family consisting of 4-5 members, this car is also suitable because both lines are roomy and relieved. My mother told me that if she sat in the second row, it would be easy to sleep because it was very comfortable.
The funny thing is that the unit I tried was not full leather, but only ½ leather. But as long as I try and the owner of his own said cloth material in his seat is also quite comfortable. Ooh yes, stirnya quite comfortable to grasped. And very similar to Innova's, only the material is much different, Harrier is in a whole different level
Features
Features of this car many, ranging from dual zone climate control, panoramic roof is actually optional in Japan itself, power back door, rear air conditioning, automatic rain sensing wiper, automatic dusk sensing headlamp, all auto window, auto start-stop, cruise control , Nanoe air conditioning, MID which unfortunately is in Japanese but the display is very similar to Harrier and Fortuner, as well as some features that I forget let alone embedded in this car.
Entertainment
The entertainment affair, this car includes the type of audioless (aka not given Head Unit from the factory, add yourself) with 6 speakers as standard. One of the uniqueness of JDM market cars is audioless. In Japan itself, if we buy a car, the affairs of the head unit, audio control button on the steering wheel, and the number of speakers is optional. So we own that set it, want to head unit aftermarket looks kind of Alpine or Kenwood, or headunit integrated; Want a standard speaker that is usually there are 6 or premium speakers that can be more than 10 speakers; Or stirnya want to install audio control buttons or left plain.
In the unit I tried, my own headunit I think the model and brand made in China with a fairly complete feature and can play music from USB drives and iPod / iPhone and is equipped with reverse parking camera. For Toyota Harrier owners, I suggest you to upgrade your audio type with the Alpine Fit Kit with 9-inch X009E-HA head unit. The shape of the stand will be similar to Harrier type premium sound system. In Japan itself I see in instagram, Alpine Fit Kit is quite popular in the owners of Harrier type audioless.
Storage
For business storage, well .... this Toyota, and should be for this business, especially in the family of SUV / Crossover already thought through by the engineers and designers. But is that so? Let's see. Rear trunk has a capacity of 440 and unfortunately not as big as Honda CRV which has a capacity of 589 liters, Mazda CX-5 which has a capacity of 503 liters, and Nissan Murano which has a capacity of 603 liters. There's also storage space under the cargo deck for some small items like shoes. It is quite unfortunate cargo capacity is not as much as SUV / Crossover other monokok.
Shift to the passenger cabin, in the second row is quite generous with the provision of door pocket on both sides to accommodate drinks / snacks / gadgets as well as there is a seatback pocket. In the second row armrest there is also a place to put drinks. Shifting to the first row, there is a fairly generous front drawer and storage area in the center console and drawer in the center armrest is quite adequate. Do not forget both sides of the door is equipped with door pocket.
On The Road
All right, let's take this car road. Hit the brakes and push the start-stop button to start the car, then 3ZR-FAE machine instantly alive. I myself am curious about the engine that has a peak torque of 193Nm at 3800rpm, for comparison, see the following table.
Everything is 2000cc natural aspirated
From the table above, CX5 seems more "run" because of the lightest weight, then Forester may be the slowest here because he was using an all-wheel drive drive that adds extra load and work to the engine.
Quite curious also how the performance of this car on the highway, then the car wrapped by Bridgestone Potenza 235 / 55R18 tires I point to the streets. Previously I asked who has "this car what if on the highway? I mean its gas, its running "and the answer" for in the city doang is already enough strength, but if in the toll and out of town a bit slow and oversized, maybe because the engine is only 2000cc ".
Testing using 3 methods, first with ECO mode, both standard mode, and third mode POWER, as a reminder, this car uses CVT transmission type with 7 speed manual. In ECO mode, the gas response becomes slow and the car feels oversized, my advice do not use ECO mode in congestion because it seems to be wasteful because the accelerator has to be pressed deeper into the fuel consumption more, ECO mode is only suitable for cruising with speed Constant over long periods of time. In standard mode, the gas response feels better and is more suitable for use in many stop-and-go cities. When trying to say hell .... yes lemot..but already somewhat enough to just go up to 80km / h or 100km / h. Go into the POWER mode, hmm ... yaahh the engine RPM nahan somewhat higher hell let the energy out bigger pas diinjek his gas, but still less bite energy if you want kenceng, CVT transmission is also not much help. In conclusion, normal mode is enough for this car to accompany your daily activities in the city.
The stir is EPS, so light really, if communicative what I think is somewhat better than the previous Harrier although the feeling feedback stirnya still somewhat less, but for me this is no improvement from the previous model. Stir lightweight is more suitable for use in the city or just a leisurely drive. Bodyroll still feels but not too swayed like the previous generation, the suspension worked great to dampen the vibration of the body when passing speedbump and bumpy road, overall body control impressed much better than previous generations. For the brakes themselves quite bite yes, there is improvement from previous models as well, and delaknya brakes smooth and not jerk like most other premium car.
For business fuel consumption, according to MID data in cars and from those who have, for in Jakarta with gasoline octane92 average fuel consumption in the range of 8-10km / l. Fair enough for a front wheel drive car, 2000cc, weighing nearly 1.6 tons. Road noisenya own minimal in this car, especially if the road is smooth. But if you meet a concrete road or konblok .. it's noisy anyway.
From this testing session, my conclusion on the behavior of the 3rd generation Toyota Harrier on the road: this car is perfect for just relaxing and is not at all recommended for those of you looking for a car for spirited driving.
