Dealers in Russia began to offer Toyota Harrier imports even though the model was not officially sold in the country before.

In Japan, the Harrier’s price range for a crossover is typically 3–5 million yen, which at current exchange rates translates to roughly 1.4–2.3 million rubles. By contrast, Russian pricing tends to be about double that amount.

Imported Harriers are offered in the 2.93–4.37 million ruble range, depending on the configuration. It is important to note that these prices are indicative; dealers warn that the final price for any specific vehicle is determined on the day the purchase agreement is signed, in line with the prevailing exchange rate at that moment.

The fourth-generation Toyota Harrier rides on the TNGA-K modular platform and features a fully independent suspension. Depending on the configuration, drive can be either front-wheel or all-wheel.

The crossover is equipped with a 2.0-liter 171 horsepower naturally aspirated engine combined with an e-Four hybrid system based on a 2.5-liter 178 horsepower internal combustion engine and an electric motor on the rear axle.

Requires 7,000 tires in popular sizes

What happens when tires are scarce can affect public safety and access to essential services. In this context, tire availability becomes a matter of everyday necessity and community resilience.

Organizers working with the Popular Front have started a fundraising effort to purchase tires for vehicles used by the People’s Police and the operational services of the LPR and DPR. These funds will also support ambulances, rescue services, and humanitarian aid deliveries to regions in need, including Donbass. Contributions can be made through the designated collection page.

For those following the effort, the goal is simply to secure reliable tires for critical service vehicles, ensuring mobility and continued operation of essential public and emergency services during challenging times.
