Of course, as every new car, it has its site on Toyota.jp:

how do you mean new? This is brand new... probably same engine will go into NX - question is if it will be version without D4S and with 190hp or with D4S and 215hp.

I think it will likely be exactly the same as here, as fuel efficient engine, nobody in target markets will think it is slow - 0-100kmh in 9s... And probably US is not a target market for 300h.

2.0t might get 28-29 MPG vs 36-37 for 300h engine, for $2k less and being considerably faster most likely (2s off 0-60?).. I dont see many selecting NX300h in the US over NX200t.

looks great from the angle imo

yeah, they realisted 6 different body kits for it basically, official ones... thats great support from Toyota for the car.

They expect pretty large sales from it - 30k per year, which is a lot for Japan and this kind of car... basically similar to what they expect from Crown. They will probably double or more the first year as no other manufacturer has a hybrid SUV there, which is a big deal.

So if this is the Harrier, does that mean the RAV4/Vanguard is gone in JDM?

cool car. Stupid name.

why is everyone hating? this car is gorgeous and should replace our current rav4, or venza.

seriously? i think it looks awful from every angle.

looks like a giant layer cake with so many bits of trim down low, up high, and in between.

spwolf

new ones were never introduced in JDM... they still sell old one. I would guess that this is the end of Vanguard for sure?

The name Harrier is also a bird and an American fighter jet. Not sure what it means elsewhere.
The front end shown here is sleek, with it's slim and canted headlights. But the side profile shows an outrageous front overhang. I can't imagine anyone here thinks it's attractive. Then, there's one too many d-pillars along the rear side window. The last RX had the same flaw.
One thing I wish Lexus would return to is add wood trim to the center stack. It appears the vehicle above returns some to this spot.

A bit like a Japanese market Venza? haha...

I really like that interior though!

SC4ME

everyone has their own opinion. but i like the interior more than the exterior.

Vladi

Nice taillights.

Is it safe to say that half of these features wont be available outside of Japan even on future Lexus NX/RX models
