Nobody will reply if you refuse to do your own indept research. The lexus you talking about is the Lexus Rx330 not R330, if it's the later, then I know there is a japanese variant known as the toyota Harrier which utilizes a 4cylinder engine against the international lexus which utilizes a V6 engine only.

They are both the same exterior wise the only version I have seen is the Rx300 variant and the difference between the harrier and lexus is th emblem on the front grill of the lexus is L while harrier uses a hawk like emblem, the harrier has bonnet side view mirror. Also the inside of the harrier is stripped down compared to lexus but still maintains the ondash screen.

I don't know much about the harrier yes the harrier has I4 and V6 compared to only V6 fitted to lexus also the harrier has front wheel and AWD just like the lexus. But to be frank, I have only come across the harrier twice an it's the Rx300 look alikes probably have seen the Rx330 in a far distance once.

Am not surprised with the gadgets available in the harrier, toyota sold in Japan a better than the US market variants. Auris, crown, altis etc

Japanese Domestic Market (jdm) Still have the best specs ,
I'll pick the Honda inspire anytime over the American spec accord,
Aurion over the camry
Toyota Alphard

American specs are shit and most of them are stripped down compared to the Japanese twin of the vehicle model,
I have seen 2004-2006 Harriers (rx330) in Nigeria, But it's very rear, most people are wise now they don't buy rhd drive because of conversion troubles i saw one three weeks ago at West Minister opposite Trinity Market Apapa, That harrier made me fall in ln love, Nice chrome wheels, Odd Badge smiley smiley cool cool, Body kits to die for,
It was all black and the vehicle was unregistered because it just arrived , and of course RHD,



But like you said The 1stgen harrier (rx300) is more common smiley

Thanks for your response. I have done a lot of research online. What I've seen so far is sketchy. I'm aware of the Harrier too. They fill the Streets of Nairobi. Here in Nigeria, I'm only curious to find out if members of this forum have come across the RX300 Europe spec. I know it comes with a 3.0 L engine as different from the 3.3 L that comes with the RX330. But is this car widely used in Nigeria? More knowledge on Durability and reliability is all I seek.

The harrier and lexus are the same engine wise. The Rx300 is a 3.0L V6, the Rx330 is a 3.3L V6 the Rx350 is a 3.5L V6 same engine as the toyota sienna I guess. Just make a little enquiry about the engine, it could be identical to the highlander's 4 cylinder engine. The harrier is a durable car since it shares part with the lexus, only the badge and minor modification would be different.

Yes Lexus RX also come in European spec, I use it, very sweet car complete in everything American calls it RX330 or 350 2004 model. The European spec is more sophisticated than the American
