SHAH ALAM, 2 MARCH 2026<\/strong> \u2013 UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT), Malaysia\u2019s leading non-national automotive brand, today introduces the new Toyota Harrier 2.5 Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV)<\/strong> \u2014 a premium SUV designed for customers who want a quieter, more refined drive with the confidence and ease of Toyota\u2019s proven hybrid technology.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SUV segment continues to attract strong interest from Malaysian buyers, driven by its versatility, practicality, and elevated driving confidence. Growing demand for family-friendly designs and higher-specification vehicles that suit both urban and sub-urban use has positioned compact and mid-size SUVs as go-to choices for customers seeking a balanced blend of efficiency, comfort, and everyday usability, reinforcing SUVs as a cornerstone of modern mobility in Malaysia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Toyota Harrier HEV reflects the maturity of hybrid mobility in Malaysia and our commitment to offering customers choice,\u201d<\/em> said Datuk Ravindran K., President of UMW Toyota Motor.<\/strong> \u201cThrough our Multipathway approach, we recognise that mobility is not one-size-fits-all. The Harrier HEV brings together Toyota\u2019s trusted hybrid technology with refined comfort, quietness, and thoughtful design allowing customers to enjoy electrified driving that feels natural, reassuring, and rewarding in daily use. It is our way of advancing mobility for all, by making progress accessible without changing how people live or drive.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built on Toyota New Generation Architecture (TNGA-K) platform,<\/strong> the Harrier HEV delivers a composed ride, confident handling, and exceptional cabin quietness, making daily commutes, family journeys, and long-distance drives calmer and more comfortable. It reflects Toyota\u2019s belief that electrified mobility should enhance everyday life naturally, without requiring changes to how customers drive, refuel, or own their vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Toyota Harrier HEV will be available in Malaysia at a starting price of
RM 289,000<\/strong>, offering discerning customers a premium hybrid SUV that balances comfort, efficiency, and effortless usability. As part of Toyota\u2019s Multipathway approach, the Harrier HEV provides a practical transition toward lower-emission driving without charging anxiety or ownership complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smooth, Confident Hybrid Performance for Everyday Life<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by Toyota\u2019s 2.5L Dynamic Force Engine <\/strong>and paired with a 4th Generation Hybrid System<\/strong>, the Harrier HEV produces a combined system output of 217 PS with instant electric torque for smooth, responsive acceleration. The self-charging hybrid system automatically regenerates energy during driving and braking removing the need for external charging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With fuel consumption rated at just 4.7 litres\/100 km, the Harrier HEV allows drivers to travel further between refuelling stops while reducing CO\u2082 emissions. Drive modes including Eco, Normal, Sport, <\/strong>and EV<\/strong> adapt seamlessly to urban traffic, highways and relaxed cruising making efficiency feel effortless rather than restrictive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Premium Comfort Shaped by Dignified Design<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guided by Toyota\u2019s Dignified Elegance<\/strong> design philosophy, the Harrier HEV features clean surfaces, balanced propositions and restrained detailing that project quiet confidence rather than excess. The Beyond Zero hybrid badge signifies Toyota\u2019s electrification commitment with responsible mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside, the cabin designed around comfort, clarity, and ease of use. Highlights include ventilated and heated front seats, a 12-way power-adjustable driver\u2019s seat, dual-zone automatic climate control with nanoe\u2122 X air purification<\/strong>, and rear air vents for passenger comfort.  A fixed panoramic moonroof<\/strong> enhances the sense of space, while a digital rear view <\/strong>mirror ensures clear visibility regardless of passengers or cargo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Driving information is presented through a 12.3-inch digital multi-information display<\/strong>, complemented by a head-up display<\/strong> that keeps key data within the driver\u2019s line of sight. Connectivity is seamless with wireless Apple CarPlay, wired Android Auto<\/strong> readiness, wireless charging, and multiple USB C ports for front and rear passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Toyota Harrier HEV is offered in Platinum White Pearl, Grey Metallic, and Precious Black<\/strong>, paired with a refined Black interior<\/strong> theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advanced Safety and Total Ownership Peace of Mind<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Harrier HEV is equipped with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0<\/strong>, featuring enhanced camera and radar performance to support safer everyday driving. Key systems include Pre-Collision System, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert with Lane Tracing Assist, Adaptive High-beam System, Road Sign Assist, and Parking Support Brake<\/strong> with detection for static objects, rear-crossing vehicles, and pedestrians at the rear. A Panoramic View Monitor<\/strong> further improves visibility during low-speed manoeuvres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ownership confidence is supported by Toyota\u2019s 5-Year Unlimited Mileage Warranty<\/strong>, 8-Year Hybrid Electric System Warranty<\/strong>, and 10-Year Guaranteed Parts Availability<\/strong>, supported by Toyota\u2019s extensive nationwide service centres, Body and Paint network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
