Toyota Harrier 240G

Hello anyone who is reading this!

Today, I am going to start this place by talking about the Toyota Harrier 240G. Now i know what all of You people are thinking, so lets just get to the point and start rolling!

Toyota Harrier 240G

Now, there are a total of 5 known models of the Harrier, and they are listed as below:

2.4G (A)
2.4G Moonroof (A)
2.4GL (A)
2.4GL Moonroof (A)
2.4L Premium (A)

Now, the Harrier is a Parallel Importer Model, reason being that it is so difficult to differentiate a Lexus RX300 from a Toyota Harrier to the untrained eye, that to avoid confusion and clashing, the Agent did not bring it in.

There are a few tell-tale signs to differentiate it, and the normal ones to look out for are:

1) Logo on the front grill
2) Logo on the steering wheel
3) Logo on the back door (Lexus logo, RX300 instead of 240G and the word Lexus instead of Harrier
4) Scuff plates on both the driver and the front passenger side.
5) The left sided kerb side mirror
6) Sports Rim (Original Lexus is 5 spokes with Lexus emblem instead of 6 spokes with Toyota emblem)

and the most expensive modification of all...

7) Windows with Lexus inscribtion instead of Toyota.

Now most people would rather pay an average of around $108,000 for a Harrier with all the Lexus modifications rather than an original Lexus that would cost in the range of $150,000 for the obvious cost savings with the image and prestige of Lexus.

Now people, thinking about it seriously. Harrier may not be as prestigious as an RX300, but frankly, there is nothing to be ashamed about driving a Harrier. Its a real good car actually, and people will think that You are honest with Yourself. Harrier IS a rich man's car and by spending $8,000 to make it look $50,000 more expensive? I dont know. I'm not critisizing or anything, but hey, whatever rings Your bell! Who am I to say?

Its got comfortable seats, is spacious, has a luxurious feel, cup holders and arm rest for each of the 4 passengers (back seat passenger arm rest and cup holder is a collapsable function and can be hidden when not needed) and its fun and easy to drive. Go have a look if You have not had a chance to see it yet.

Now, for the functions that You can get to have fun with if You own a Harrier (but, the boring facts first).

- 158 bhp
-Turning Radius of 5.7 meters
-Fuel Tank Capacity 72 Liters
-Engine Capacity 2,362cc
-4 Wheel Disc Brakes (with standard ABS)
-Auto Retracting Side Mirrors
-Optritron Meters (One of my favourite features for the cool factor!)
-HID Xennon Headlights
-17 inches Sports Rim
-Airbags for each of the front passengers
-Triptronic Gearbox
-Climate Control
-Rear Passenger Seats Aircon (Top and Bottom)
-Driver Electric Seat
-Knockdown Rear Seats
-Spacious Boot (with a Retractable Canvas for privacy)
-2 Utility Plugs (1 at the driver side and 1 at the boot area)
-Individual Light and Aircon Valve for the boot as well!

Just a note to all people still looking for a Harrier. Its no longer in production, so if You want one, get it fast!

Cheers!
