Harrier Coloring Pages

A Grand and Comfortable SUV

Harrier is an SUV made by Toyota.
SUVs are a type of car that sits a bit higher, has big tires, and handles bumpy roads very well.
Harrier combines that strong SUV body with the smooth, quiet ride of a luxury car.
The very first Harrier came out in 1997.
Before that, most SUVs were rugged cars made for trips to the mountains or rivers.
Harrier became super popular as a stylish SUV you could drive around town. It is known as a pioneer of luxury crossover SUVs.
After Harrier came out, many other companies started making similar cars, too.

The Secret of the Name and Emblem

"Harrier" comes from the English name for a bird called the Eastern marsh harrier.
This bird is a type of hawk.
It is known to fly low over grasslands and reed beds to look for prey.
From the 1st to the 3rd generation, Harrier had a special hawk-like emblem shaped like this bird.
Starting with the 4th generation, it changed to the same Toyota emblem used on other Toyota cars.
Looking at the front of the car is a great clue to help you guess which generation Harrier it is!

It Was a Lexus Overseas

overseas, the 1st and 2nd generation Harriers were sold under the name Lexus RX.
Lexus is Toyota's luxury car brand.
That means the exact same car was driving around with different names—Harrier in Japan, and Lexus overseas!
Starting from the 3rd generation, Harrier was designed especially for people in Japan.

The 4 Generations of Harrier

The 1st generation came out in 1997. It had a nice, smooth, rounded body.
The 2nd generation came out in 2003. In 2005, a hybrid model was added that runs on both an engine and a motor.
The 3rd generation arrived in 2013 with a sharp front face and long, slim lights.
The 4th generation arrived in 2020. It has a sleek roof that slopes gently toward the back, just like a coupe.
In 2022, a plug-in hybrid model was added that you can charge right at home.

4 Coloring Pages

There are 4 coloring pages, showing Harrier from the 1st to the 4th generation.
On the 1st generation page, look for the oval emblem right in the middle of the grille with vertical lines. Inside the headlights, you will see 2 round lights lined up. There is also a thin antenna standing on the roof!
On the 2nd generation page, the grille changed to horizontal lines. Inside the headlights, round lenses are lined up. On the left edge of the hood, there is a tiny mirror. It helps the driver see near the front-left wheel! The 1st generation has one, too, so try to find it.
On the 3rd generation page, tiny square lights sit inside the long, slim headlights. You can see a lower grille with horizontal lines around the license plate. The wheels have lots of thin spokes.
On the 4th generation page, the sharp, thin headlights and the oval emblem really stand out. The big lower grille has a row of horizontal lines, and the edges of the bumper have thin, slanted shapes.
Line up all 4 coloring pages and compare how Harrier's face has changed over time!
We also have coloring pages for other Toyota cars, like the Alphard and the Prius.

Let's copy the real colors!

All 4 cars used as models are mostly white.
The 1st generation has 2 colors, with white on top and beige around the bottom of the car. Try coloring from the line under the doors down and the lower part of the front bumper with light brown or beige.
The 4th generation is pearl white. If you leave the paper white and layer light cream or light sky blue here and there, it will look like shiny white!
Of course, it is also fun to color it with your favorite colors. A black or navy blue Harrier looks very grand, too!

How to color a white car body

If you leave a white car completely white, it becomes hard to see its shape.
Try coloring just the bottom of the car, the gaps between the doors, and the inside of the curves around the tires with light gray.
Just by doing that, the car will look much more 3D!
If you leave wide white spaces on the hood and roof, it will look shiny as if light is hitting it.

The grill and lights

Harrier has a different grill pattern for each generation.
For the vertical lines on the 1st generation, or the horizontal lines on the 2nd and 4th generations, color the gaps with dark gray or black, and make the lines silver to make them look shiny!
Making the oval logo silver too will give the car a sharp front face.
For the headlights, leave the centers of the round or square lights inside white, and color around them with light gray or light sky blue.
If you color the windows with light sky blue or gray and leave diagonal white lines, they will look just like real glass!

The tires and wheels

Let's color the tires with dark gray or black.
The basic colors for the wheels are silver or light gray.
The 3rd and 4th generation wheels have lots of thin spokes. If you color the gaps between the spokes with dark gray, the shape of the wheels will stand out clearly.
Sharpen the tip of your colored pencil, and try coloring slowly and carefully!

Harrier Created a New Group of Cars

Before Harrier came along, people mostly thought of SUVs as tough cars built for driving on mountain trails or snowy roads.
Harrier was made to be an SUV that is quiet and comfortable, just like a luxury car.
This became so popular that it helped spread a new group of cars called luxury crossover SUVs.
Now, you see lots of SUVs in town every day. Harrier was the car that started this trend!

The Roof Window Turns into Frosted Glass

The 4th-generation Harrier has a big glass window on the roof called a panoramic shade-control roof.
When you press a button, the clear glass quickly changes into frosted glass.
You can keep it clear when you want to see the sky, and switch it to frosted when the sunlight is too bright.
This feature was used for the very first time in a Toyota car on the 4th-generation Harrier!

14 Times More Orders Came In!

When the 4th-generation Harrier came out in 2020, it became a huge topic of conversation.
In just one month after it went on sale, Toyota got more than 14 times the number of orders they planned to sell in a month.
That shows just how many people were waiting for the new Harrier!
