Toyota Harrier: XU60 Facelift vs XU80

Toyota Harrier XU60 Facelift

Toyota Harrier XU60 Facelift

Verdict

The RM46,000 step from the RM243,000 Toyota Harrier XU60 Facelift to the RM289,000 Toyota Harrier XU80 buys hybrid assistance, a 2,690-mm wheelbase and much richer daily kit, including a moonroof, 360-degree camera and powered kick-sensor tailgate. The outgoing XU60 hits harder with 227 hp and 350 Nm from its 2.0-litre turbo, versus the XU80’s 175 hp, 221 Nm 2.5-litre engine and 118-hp motor. Used-buyers who need the bigger 440-litre boot and lower RM439 road tax have a solid case for the older car; the XU80 is the better-equipped new-generation choice.

XU80
