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.
Pick the Toyota Harrier XU60 Facelift if you want 227 hp, 350 Nm, a 440-litre boot and RM439 annual road tax for less money.
Pick the Toyota Harrier XU80 if you want hybrid assistance, a longer 2,690-mm wheelbase and the newer car’s 360-degree camera, moonroof and driver-assistance kit.
