Don't like how the Chinese media are hyping it to be 'RX at half the price' because of the original Harrier-RX duo. The Harrier has not been Toyota-badge RX since the last generation. The new Harrier/Venza is more related to NX.

In fact, FAW-Toyota Harrier is start promotional warm-up this weekend. It have a pre-prodution demo car will giving Guangzhou's few dealerships for tour-show next week. Dealership's words of commodity publicity is so fun.
Such as 'Porsche Cayenne like tail light' 'Lexus RX like side design' etc. 😅

An expected addition to the Venza range:

PHEV variant.

So is this same PHEV will be in NX/RAV4 & Venza
Honestly Venza if had agility, it can sell well in Europe

At the Venza launch, I remember Toyota USA firmly saying there would be no Venza Prime. That makes me wonder if things have changed, or if it just won't be for the US market.

I think the normal hybrid is becoming like ICE normal
And the PHEV is the new hybrid

Maybe even Corolla/ CH-R and Corolla cross will get it

Well, Toyota Motor Europe talked about a new E3 platform (emotion, engagement and energy)

Toyota creates new E3 platform for multiple electric drivetrains

Toyota E3 platform can deploy both hybrid and fully electric powertrains for unique market demand

So it would be pretty easy to have PHEV/BEV from the beginning in the next generation GA-C models.

With better results than the UX300e, I hope...

It would a missed opportunity to disallow a venza prime. But as usual its going down to battery production capacity.

With modular platforms, it should not be difficult to mix-and-match between platforms, like the ICE front end of the TNGA-C with the middle and rear components of the e-TNGA.

Didn't Toyota recently say that the next-generation Prius would be built on this new platform?

It's JDM.

It's JDM.

What a shame.

Ken Gushi’s Venza is wonderful!

 

[Levi]

Venza has some Jaguar E-Pace vibes.
