New Toyota Harrier on offer

[bazmlb]

TSL Corporation has become the first grey-market importer to offer the all-new Toyota Harrier, priced at Bt2.89 million.

The Harrier is powered by a 2.0-litre engine that develops 151hp and 193Nm mated to a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). It comes with front-wheel drive as standard, but the all-wheel-drive option is also available.

Its average fuel economy is claimed to be 16kmpl, which is better than some compact cars. The other standard features include auto-levelling LED headlights and fog lights, powered tailgate opening, Land Departure Alert, cruise control, moon roof, automatic climate control with air cleaner, and "Keyless Go".

'Land Departure Alert' that will be handy when your about to rotate (Vr).....wouldn't want to retract the undercarriage to early!

[Wong!]

Only 2m baht overpriced. I'll have 3 please...

2.0-litre engine that develops 151hp and 193Nm mated to a CVT, that sounds like a hella fun. And only 2.89 Million for a car that will be pushed off the street by any Fortuner

X3 20d over that any day, nice to look at, torquey, good fuel economy.

I HATE CVT gearboxes btw, awful stuff.

Too small (engine wise) for to much money.

A 2 litre can put out a lot more than 151hp as formula 1 have shown(Doctor Iain Corness's 2.litre Escort with a Nissan SR-20 puts out around 290bhp at the rear wheels), but it is small though for such a beast, a 3 litre v6 would make it much more attractive at the price, the lexus 3uz-fe 4.3 litre v8 would be even better.

I believe we are talking here about normal Thai cars so your comparison is imho irrelevant.

The Harrier is a Japanese grey import, not a normal Thai Car, so how is your comment relevant

Mercedes A Class A45 AMG, 2.0 litre turbo 360HP and 450NM, 0-100 in 4.4s. I don´t mind 2 liter engines, they can be fun

But this 2.0 is useless (even more in such a car). Though in the traffic jams it won´t matter anyway, so maybe a whise economical decission. But then why don´t they have a diesel?
