Recently, the new Harrier patent map has been officially released, which means that the Harrier model plan is constantly moving forward. From the patent map, its appearance is almost synchronized with the overseas version of Hanlanda.

However, it has been revealed that a document codenamed "K-CROSS" SUV shows that K-CROSS will make its debut at the Shanghai Auto Show, which opens in April 2021, and then go on sale in November. Although there is no exact description of the "K-CROSS" code-named model, according to the release time of the new car and the speed of FAW-Toyota product construction, the new car is expected to be a new Harrier, which is scheduled to be unveiled in April next year and put into production in November of the same year.

In fact, as the "twin model" of Lexus RX, the Harrier model was first born in 1997, positioning the compact SUV. After being upgraded and lengthened after 2003, it was positioned as a medium-sized SUV and sold with the same design as the Lexus RX, with only the logo difference, with the Harrier with a pigeon-like design at the front and Toyota at the rear.
As the overseas version of the new car was officially released overseas in April 2020, FAW Toyota also introduced it. The new car is positioned as an entry-level five-seater medium-sized SUV, between the RAV4 and the Hanlanda. The new generation of Harrier is based on the TNGA (GA-K) architecture.
In terms of appearance, the new Toyota Harrier uses a simple and sharp design style, with flat and narrow headlights connected to the upper central grille, supplemented by chrome strips, broadening the horizontal visual effect of the front face. The large trapezoidal intake grille in the center of the front face is the embodiment of Toyota's latest family design style, with cooling grooves on both sides.
On the side of the body, the new Toyota Harrier has the shadow of Lexus, and the very sloping D-pillar has a high degree of recognition. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4740/1855/1660mm and the wheelbase is 2690mm.

In the interior part, the new car in the official picture uses a black / brown interior panel design, and more colors are expected to be available in the future. The overall layout is very similar to the new RAV4.

Among them, FAW Toyota sold more than 83000 vehicles, up 18% from last year; Guangzhou Auto Toyota also sold about 90, 000 vehicles in November.
