@@CARNVERSATIONS Also what you were referring as hybrid battery was actually an electric power management module, where you will find inverter that amplify dc voltages to three phase electricity to power motor and electric ac compressor.. also in that module there is dc to dc converter that steps down higher dc voltages to 12 voltages required by various car systems like radio, lights, wipers, power window, central lock system, fuel pump also to charge a small 12 v battery as these cars don't have regular alternator.

I tried to compete with this car the other day kwa high way with a Nissan Advan 😂. Weh! nilirudisha tu dirisha yangu juu hata kama haiko tinted nika rudi home, fully humbled
Point of correction, the Harrier Hybrid is a 2.5L, and the battery is stored under the rear seat. The component you pointed at the front is the Inverter/converter unit
The 2.0(non hybrid) is so sluggish especially uphill the 2.5l(hybrid) has more torque and you will enjoy especially during long journeys and overtaking. I have driven both for 300km each
Great review Erick. Now I can't wait for Prado reviews. They confuse me as hell, TX,VX TXL,TZ ones from South Africa, Australia,Japan. It's all confusing.
Before he does lemme give you the basics it's all about trim level. Tx and GX are the base models with minimum equipments . TZ and TZG have a bit of more equipment but not of the highest range . Then there is the king VXL it has all bells and whistles ,has fully electric seats and rear seats ,rear differential locks and crawl control
@@benerickndururi7891 Australia, Thailand and south Africa are just assembly points just like the way Isuzu have assembly point here in mombasa road general motors . Main manufacturers are Japan and Europe ( UK) the difference is that the Europe ones are more advanced like I said heated seats , cruise control and their speed is 220 while the japan ones are restricted to 180 but all are beasts
Thanks Erick this is quite educative. Was considering upgrading and this was my choice (non-hybrid). Feeling a bit hesitant because of the clearance (front bumper seems very close to the ground), the fact that you've said that its bulky and a bit light and being a soft off road. I often do like 25% off road.
the ground clearance on the front bumper is quite low. this translates to poor approach angle especially when navigating poor terrains which may end up messing the bumper
@Erick with a CK, good one kama kawaida. Super. On the short videos tuchambulie story na number plates and what they mean for us when we see them on the road.....
Its All wheel drive but the rear wheels have an electric motor so thats why there is no hump at the middle. No shaft running to the rear but an electric cable to run the motor
Editor, cheza na volume za each scenes, try to match and level them up ju saa zingine ziko chini na inabidi niongeze volume alafu zikikam juu lazma nimereduce volume. Kudos to your reviews.
I feel you didn't do this vehicle justice, so many gaps left on this review, like does it have brake discs both at the front and back wheels, or what makes those brakes so sharp? also how reliable is the engine since it has been reduced from 2400cc to 2000cc?
Bring the Lexus rx350 and tell us why they have a completely different drive experience. Why is it so while they say that they are supposed to be the same vehicle .
Listening to what you said about the 2014 Harrier, i feel like i drive a probox with my 2000 3000cc V6 harrier. Its a beast on the road but thats about it. Nothing more to add to it hahahahahahaah
I have a few questions,is the previous generation of harrier more hardy and off-road capable than the new generation?why have you said it not fair to compare the harrier with the likes of Forester and CX-5,are they better or harrier is?
Harrier is more luxurious. Forester has more power, and it's AWD. If I had Harrier money, I would buy a higher specced Forester XT and it would certainly outdo the harrier!
@@topnineshow Wow! I like your idea,with cash that can buy harrier it wise to buy a high spec Forester which will definitely outdo the harrier.onther concern,is the previous generation of harrier hardy than the new?
I have owned the previous version harrier 4wd, great clearance, hardy 2.4l engine. The interior space is good compared to some its competitors like tiguan. The 4wd is not sophisticated though but it will get you out of muddy situations. The dashboard cracks though so you need to avoid parking under direct sunlight for extended periods
Yes.. what he was referring hybrid battery was actually an electric power management module, where you will find inverter that amplify dc voltages to three phase electricity to power motor and electric ac compressor.. also in that module there is dc to dc converter that step down higher dc voltages to 12 voltages required by various car systems like radio, lights, wipers, power window, central lock system, fuel pump etc,...
