     The actual car used was the GRMN Yaris Circuit Package, with a carbon fiber (twill weave CFRP) rear spoiler, side skirts, and lip spoiler.

     The suspension features BBS 18-inch wheels exclusively for the GRMN, 18-inch brakes, and Bilstein damping force-adjustable shock absorbers, all designed with an awareness of how fast the car can run on the circuit.

     As for the actual project, the ROOKIE Racing team (Sasaki and Ishiura) won the race, but despite their various handicaps, each driver enjoyed the showdown itself and the driving of the GRMN Yaris, while also enjoying the serious competition that they were not afraid to lose.”

    The “”special luxury”” of the Toyota “”Harrier”” that you want to drive on a Christmas date.

     The Harrier, an urban SUV with an emphasis on a coupe silhouette, will be launched in June 2020 with the current model, the fifth generation.

     It was recently partially upgraded in September 2022, with upgraded driver-assist functions and a new plug-in hybrid vehicle.

     Such a Harrier is popular among a wide range of generations, including young people, as it is supported by both the “”Generation Y”” of 26 to 39 year olds and the “”Generation Z”” of 10 to 25 year olds in the above survey.

     One of the most distinctive features of the Harrier is the high quality of the interior.

     The interior has a chic and relaxed atmosphere overall, with a voluminous and spacious feel from the instrument panel to the left and right door trims, for example.

     The instrument panel is softly padded, which gives it a soft feel where it touches the body, and is a point where the high quality can be felt.

     The center console, designed to resemble a horse’s saddle, has a broad and imposing design.

     The Z “”Leather Package,”” the highest grade of the Harrier, uses high quality genuine leather sofa-like seats, with a choice of two interior colors, black or brown.

     The brown interior is particularly well-designed, with a gray wood finish on the center console and door switch base panels, and satin brown piping ornaments on the instrument panel, door trim, and other areas.

     The Panorama Roof with Electric Shade is available as a factory-installed option.

     In addition to opening and closing the motorized shade, the dimming function makes it possible to instantly switch between dimming and transmission with the shade open and without time lag.

     When the light is dimmed, a sense of quality is also ensured, with soft light shining through as if through a shoji paper sliding door.

     In this way, it can be said that the interior space of an adult is finished with a calm and luxurious atmosphere and chic colors.

     Other features of the Harrier include its exterior.

     With its flowing proportions, the Harrier’s main body has a teardrop shape that resembles a drop of water from front to rear, expressing a simple yet strong sense of movement.

     The front headlamps feature two L-shaped luminous lines. The rear taillights and stop lamps, which emit a single red horizontal light, add further individuality to the rear lamps.

     The price of the Harrier ranges from 3,128,000 to 4,538,000 yen for the gasoline model, 3,718,000 to 5,148,000 yen for the hybrid model, and 6,200,000 yen for the newly equipped plug-in hybrid model.

     In addition to its sleek, urban exterior, the Harrier’s interior is designed with a calm, high quality atmosphere that gives it a special feel, making it a luxury SUV in its own right.

     The Harrier is becoming popular as the car of choice for Christmas dates and other special occasions.
