About the Toyota Harrier XU30
The XU30-generation Toyota Harrier was the domestic Japanese version of the second-generation Lexus RX, bridging the gap between a rugged off-roader and a luxury saloon. While the Lexus version focused on V6 power for the North American market, the Harrier 2.4 utilized the reliable 2AZ-FE four-cylinder engine to cater to Japanese tax brackets and efficiency needs. It features a high-quality interior with wood-grain trim and advanced-for-the-time electronics, including an optional Pre-Collision System. As a used import, it is highly regarded for its build quality, ride comfort, and mechanical longevity.
