Verdict
At RM243,000 versus RM289,000, this is less simple than new beating old. The Toyota Harrier XU60 Facelift has the stronger numbers: 227 hp, 350 Nm, a 440-litre boot and a 60-litre tank. The Toyota Harrier XU80 answers with the newer TNGA-K base, a longer 2,690 mm wheelbase, wider body and petrol-hybrid/REV drivetrain, but its rated 175 hp, 221 Nm, 396-litre boot and RM830 road tax ask for a buyer who values generation change over outright muscle.
Pick the Toyota Harrier XU60 Facelift if you want the lower buy-in, stronger 227 hp/350 Nm outputs and the bigger 440-litre boot.
Pick the Toyota Harrier XU80 if you want the newer-generation Harrier with TNGA-K underpinnings, a longer 2,690 mm wheelbase and petrol-hybrid/REV drive.
