The international Toyota Harrier (see video) wasn’t exactly revealed yesterday, but it now turns out Toyota had an ace up its sleeve. The new Harrier will be available in a particularly powerful hybrid version – at least, on its domestic market for now.
The Harrier PHEV is a technical clone of the RAV4 Hybrid. It runs on a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine burning petrol for 177 PS (175 hp / 130 kW). Two electric motors mounted one per axle assist it for a combined output of 306 PS (302 hp / 225 kW). The all-electric range amounts to 93 kilometers (58 miles) according to the European standards.
On the outside, the newcomer sports a new radiator grille and a charging port hatch. As a bonus, owners can use their car to provide power to external appliances and equipment.
The Toyota Harrier PHEV will go on sale in late October priced starting from the equivalent of $42,900.
