Released on 2 December 2013 in Japan for the gasoline model and 15 January 2014 for the hybrid, the XU60 series Harrier replaces not only its XU30 series namesake, but also the Toyota Vanguard (XA30). Unlike the second and third generation Lexus RX built on the K platform, the XU60 Harrier derives from the RAV4’s New MC underpinnings.[2]
Grades available in Japan include the Premium, Elegance and Grand for both the petrol and hybrid models.
